00:00La overall benign outlook hides a number of important risks.
00:05The pandemic appears increasingly under control, but as I said before, it's far from over.
00:11The vaccination effort has been largely limited to the rich world.
00:17Only 0.3% of total doses have been administered in low-income countries,
00:24while the richer ones have distributed 85% of the total.
00:32Not only is the difference ethically unfair, it's also dangerous.
00:38So long as the virus circulates freely, there is a risk of the emergence of new variants.
00:47One or more of them may be resistant to our vaccines and undermine the success of our campaigns.
00:55So we must continue to invest in research and accelerate our efforts to ensure widespread access to the vaccines.
