Summary
At the beginning of the pandemic, many promises of global public good and international solidarity were made. Yet, one year on, there is a vast disparity in access to COVID-19 medical products between high-income countries and low-middle-income countries. If not now - when will this change? Executive Director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, Lori Wallach joins Thom to discuss whether it is possible to vaccinate everyone in the world.
Jennifer Epps-Addison explains the urgency to renew the moratorium on evictions. Ben Jealous joins the program to report on how Republican voter suppression has metastasized.
