Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said today, Friday, that there is a great lack of justice at the global level in the ability of countries to access Corona vaccines.
In a speech reported by the Turkish Anadolu Agency, Erdogan said that the G20 countries had agreed to establish a database of “good” measures in order to facilitate measures to face future crises.

In his speech, he pointed out that Turkey has conducted more than 27 million vaccinations against the “Corona” virus, adding that “work continues to produce a local vaccine.”
The Turkish president indicated that his country has provided various medical devices and equipment, including (home-made) ventilators, to 158 countries and 12 international organizations.
Turkey is the fifth most affected country by the epidemic, as it has so far recorded more than 5 million infections, and about 45,000 deaths, according to “World Meters” data.
For its part, the World Health Organization said, today, Friday, that the official figures that show the number of deaths directly or indirectly related to “Covid-19” in the world are “significantly less” than the real numbers, most likely, confirming that the real deaths may be higher than 3 Times than advertised.
While the UN Security Council stressed, on Wednesday, in a statement that was unanimously adopted, the need to increase aid to Africa to strengthen its response to the “Covid-19” pandemic, especially with regard to vaccines, considering that the vaccination campaigns against the “Corona” virus on the continent are insufficient.
