The global south is less able to do that, and they told us almost immediately, via a call led by India and South Africa, that vaccines were what would save them but that the costs were too high. Now, New Zealand has stood with our Pacific neighbours. We have shared the vaccines that we've bought with the Pacific, and that's great. That's charity. It's not transformative change. It's not systems change. It's not getting at the problem of global inequality and healthcare access. What India and South Africa were asking for is that we go to the World Trade Organization—which is allowed; it's part of the rules at the World Trade Organisation (WTO)—and we lift the intellectual property costs of the vaccines so they could be manufactured cheaper and made more accessible. New Zealand, shamefully, did not support that call until late last year. Both those countries have now been the forefront of new mutations of this virus: first Delta in India, then Omicron in South Africa. So we've seen how global inequality in healthcare access has actually harmed us all.
