Distributive Justice in Global Health
Quick fact
During the COVID-19 pandemic, high-income countries secured enough vaccine doses to vaccinate their populations multiple times, while some low-income countries had access to almost none—a stark example of distributive injustice affecting 27% of the global population.
Why this is interesting
A vaccine that could save millions sits in a warehouse while people die across the border. Is that just? We all feel it's wrong, but what does 'fair' even mean when the world is so unequal?
