THE GLOBAL FAILURE TO SHARE VACCINES

The vast majority of vaccines have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries. The global failure to share vaccines equitably is taking its toll on some of the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people. New variants of concern mean that the risks of infection have increased in all countries for people who are not yet protected by vaccination.

THE PASSING OF ARCHBISCHOP DESMOND TUTU

I was very privileged to meet Archbishop Desmond Tutu in Houston, Texas. He was kind, gentle and possessed a mischievous sense of humor. When he looked into your eyes you immediately felt his love.

" A man of extraordinary intellect, integrity and invincibility against the forces of apartheid, he was also tender and vulnerable in his compassion for those who had suffered oppression, injustice and violence under apartheid, and oppressed and downtrodden people around the world." South African President Cyril Ramaphosa

THE FALL OF THE U.S.S.R.

On December 25, 1991, the Soviet Union ceased to exist as a sovereign state.

The Soviet Union was once the largest country in the world, covering more than 22 million square kilometers. It consisted of 15 Soviet socialist republics but was highly centralized for most of its history. Although the U.S.S.R.'s official language was Russian, more than 200 other languages and dialects were spoken, and it was home to more than 290 million people of various ethnicities.
