theysay In January, I spoke about the potential unfolding of a moral catastrophe. Unfortunately, we are now witnessing this play out. In a handful of rich countries, which bought up the majority of the supply, lower-risk groups are now being vaccinated. I understand why some countries want to vaccinate their children and adolescents, but right now I urge them to reconsider and to instead donate vaccines to Covax. Because in low and lower middle-income countries, the Covid-19 vaccine supply has not been enough to even immunise healthcare workers, and hospitals are being inundated with people that need lifesaving care urgently. The fact that so many are still not protected is a sad reflection on the gross distortion in access to vaccines across the globe. WHO Chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus on why wealthy countries need to donate doses to poorer nations, in a media briefing

Tweet, make a buck

Twitter has launched a "Tip Jar" feature, which allows users to send money to their favourite content creators. The rollout is currently limited to a few "creators, journalists, experts, and nonprofits" tweeting in English, for testing sake. This allows them to turn on the tip-jar icon, which appears next to the “follow” button on mobile apps. Followers can click on the icon and see links to whatever payment services the account holder added and go directly to those sites to finish tipping. Twitter takes no cut. While some appreciate this value-add, others are suspecting cybersecurity hiccups with payment information.
