NAMATALE, Uganda — Dr. Eva Kabwongera’s job
is to make sure life-saving Covid-19 vaccines reach
Uganda’s 45 million people. On a recent morning, that
journey took her to a tiny island that is home to less than
2,000 people.
The 40 doses Kabwongera brought with her to Namatale had traveled more than 3,000 miles via plane, truck,
ferry and boat from Pune, India, to get to the outcrop in
Africa’s vast Lake Victoria.
“We are delivering hope,” said Kabwongera, who is
UNICEF’s immunization chief for Uganda, as she stepped into shallow water and walked to shore soaking
wet. Dozens of small, smiling children greeted her.
“The people there are waiting for it,” she added.
Dr. Eva Kabwongera says the country is struggling to finance deliveries to remote locations, such as Namatale.
But hope does not defeat a pandemic — vaccines do.
And Uganda doesn’t have enough to vaccinate even a
tiny portion of its population. With the severe international shortage, Uganda and countries like it look set to
have to wait to inoculate even its front-line health workers
and most vulnerable groups to help stop Covid-19 and
prevent the development of dangerous vaccine-resistant
variants.
The result has been an extreme gap in vaccine distribution, with almost 1 in 4 people receiving a vaccine in
high-income countries and a staggering 1 in more than
500 in low-income ones, according to the World Health
Organization. Uganda, for example, has so far received
only 864,000 vaccine doses — enough to fully vaccinate
400,000 people with two doses, or less than 1 percent of
the country’s 45 million population.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Avoiding meat and dairy is single biggest
way to reduce your impact on Earth
Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way
to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according
to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to
date of the damage farming does to the planet.
The new research, published in the journal Science, shows
that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use
could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to
the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and
still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to cattle farming is the
leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy
products provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, they
use the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produce 60%
of farming greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research
shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans.
The scientists also found that even the lowest impact by meat
and dairy products may cause much more environmental
harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.
