And we know the toll is so much greater, beyond even the more than 128 million people who have been infected by the virus, many with long-lasting and poorly understood repercussions.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why a year after the WHO declared coronavirus a pandemic, protests demanding global access to vaccines were held around the world. At this point, media could ask how the global economy can recover if only parts of the globe are vaccinated\u2026. But what if they went deeper and wondered: If we don\u2019t learn from this pandemic that none of us can be healthy unless all of us are healthy, how many chances will we get?
