“Where you’re born should not affect your ability to survive.” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, gave an impassioned speech at an awards ceremony, pleading with governments and pharmaceutical companies to do more to vaccinate the world.

Speaking via video link, he called them “heroes of the highest order who gave us an instrument to fight this disease,” adding, “They are our nation’s pride and we are deeply indebted to their service.”“Until every community can access the vaccine, and until every community is connected to trustworthy information about the vaccine, then we are all at risk,” he said.

The duke also spoke about the misinformation campaigns that are adding to vaccine hesitancy: “This is a system we need to break if we are to overcome COVID-19 and the rise of new variants,” he said.Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex appears via video link at the 24th GQ Men of the Year Awards in association with BOSS at Tate Modern on Sept. 1, 2021 in London.

He is no one to comment on this issue. We shouldn't be selfish and before thinking about ourselves we should think about the people who are immunocompromised and therefore it's our obligation to ensure their safety. Therefore no compromise on there safety.

Ugh!

Future king of England

Haven’t drug companies done a lot so far…worked 24/7 early last year when folks like AOC and the squad wanted health care workers to go on strike! But let’s listen to more progressives and career bureaucrats

Pampered elite baby

Go away

You mean just Harry now right?

Not news this is tabloid shit

Oh please spare us the crap his entire life has been special treatment.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

finally someone with courage to say it! the media has blood on it's hands

What about other medicine? He acts like the vax is a panacea.

Ummmmm……. Isn’t he not a Prince anymore?

Is anyone really listening to this guy?

When Harry heard that vaccines are types of 'drugs', he was all for taking them.

COVID19 takes many lifes well said Sir Harry!

PrinceHarry

He could give up his world class healthcare to someone else

Why is this guy giving a speech diabetes? Why is everyone playing doctor these days?

He’s very good at speaking nonsense.

wow

Did he just endorse the new Texas abortion law?

From a person living in a country that wasted 15,000,000 vaccine doses

Love you princeharry026

My kind prince bless him❤️

Enough because your lifelong actions instead enough and now because your child is a drop of the other you believe you have the right to say something in no way will you ever understand the truth of this world from where you said the falsehood called white.

Can’t take this joker.

Very important that everyone has access to COVID vaccine….Well done Prince Harry!!

Nice thought. There are almost 8 billion people on Earth. I do not believe more than 1B doses of vaccine have been produced and the pledge by Big s pharma is that they can produce maybe 3B by year end. So how do you distribute when scarcity occurs and 70% needed for herd immunity

No thanks. You can have all the drugs and vaccines in the world.

Shut up Harry.

Thank you princeharry 👏👏👏👏

Isnt he all about the man he has become but not the prince he was born? Then why use his privilege & come lecture?

jozzzaphen Loved to see him❤

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The woke Prince didn't do his research, infact Anti Vax are from US n Europe. He urges the gov to vaccine developing countries, wen they are being vaccinated. AstraZeneca pledged 64% of vaccine in developing nations. The production supply process of vaccines that is delayed.
