Philippine strong man leader tells the international community that excluding the poor nations and developing countries for the universal access to the covid-19 vaccine would be a " gross injustice."

President Duterte made the statement as he addresses the United Nations General Assembly ( UNGA ) for the second time at the 31st special session in response to the covid-19 pandemic on December 4.

" Life-saving services and products must be made accessible to the most vulnerable - the most to the least." he said.

According to Duterte, leaving the poor nations behind during the pandemic recovery will surely discredit the virtues of the UN.
