WHO chief warns variants are currently winning the race against vaccines as Delta spreads – Fox News

On the same day that the world reached the grim milestone of 4 million COVID-19 deaths, World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned that variants are causing a "wave of death" in some parts of the world with less access to vaccines.  "Variants are currently winning the race against vaccines because of inequitable vaccine production and distribution," Ghebreyesus said Wednesday at his biweekly conference in Geneva. "It didn’t have to be this way and it doesn’t have to be this way going forward."

Global Covid-19 death toll surpasses 4 million – CNN

In total, three countries account for more than a third of all global deaths.
