Today, India’s COVID-19 crisis hit a grave new benchmark: 20 million coronavirus cases and counting.
To the Indian-American community: So many of you have reached out to me about your family and loved ones in India. My heart is with you. Most of us know someone who has had COVID-19, and sadly many know someone who has been hospitalized or has passed away.
This is one of the moral issues of our time. Billions of people across the globe still need vaccines, yet over 100 countries, including India, still don’t have access to it.
The COVID-19 pandemic will not end until we help the world end it. We must call on the Biden Administration to support waiving restrictions on COVID-19 vaccine technology so India and other countries are able to produce their own vaccine supplies and protect their populations.
I applaud President Biden’s administration for pledging to provide medical supplies and protective gear to India as they battle this devastating COVID-19 outbreak. But we can and must go farther.
That’s why I’ve been a leading voice calling on the Biden Administration to double down on its commitment to India and help save lives. I spoke with the Indian ambassador this week about their needs, and our duty is both clear and urgent: Permit the COVID-19 vaccine recipes to be licensed so India and more than a hundred other countries can manufacture the vaccines they desperately need.
Thanks for taking action,
Ro
