While"less than 7% of people in low-income countries are fully vaccinated," Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said the U.S. must"invest more in global vaccination efforts immediately.
It took the world seven months to record its first million deaths from the virus after the pandemic began in early 2020. Four months later another million people had died, and 1 million have died every three months since, until the death toll hit 5 million at the end of October. Now it has reached 6 million—more than the populations of Berlin and Brussels combined, or the entire state of Maryland.
Responding to Monday's new milestone, Rep. Pramila Jayapal said that while the"real number is certainly greater" than 6 million,"less than 7% of people in low-income countries are fully vaccinated," and she said the U.S. must"invest more in global vaccination efforts immediately."
