The importance of acting globally --- Given the global aspect of the pandemic, international organizations should have made it clear immediately that any company or state that reaches the milestone of the vaccine cannot think of using it to make a profit. When it comes to saving humanity, you shouldn't think about business. However, this does not mean that those who worked to develop the vaccine should not have a return from the investment made, the international community should cover the costs of the research, but at the same time should also be committed to fair distribution and access to all, just as with a global public good.

Some countries think they can go alone, but the emergency has demonstrated the importance and the effectiveness of multilateralism and to act as one world community. All countries should believe in cooperation and in international institutions such as the World Health Organization, which holds 194 countries together.
