Pope Francis on Monday reiterated his
call for COVID-19 vaccines to be available to the whole world
and blasted political indecisiveness with regards to the fight
against the coronavirus.
"There must be political commitment to pursue the good of the
population via prevention and immunization decisions that
involve citizens so they can feel involved and responsible, via
transparent communication of the problems and the right measures
to address them," the pope told the diplomatic corps.
"The lack of firm decisions and clear communication generates
confusion, creates a lack of confidence, undermines social
cohesion and feeds tension.
"It is important that the effort to immunize as much of the
population as possible continues," he added.
"This requires a multiple effort at the personal and political
level and of the entire international community, (but) above all
at the personal level.
"We all have a responsibility to care for ourselves and our
health, which translates into having respect for the health of
those close to us.
"Caring for one's health is a moral obligation".
