On Tuesday, humanitarian organization Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere released the open letter with more than 70 signatures from prominent entertainment industry figures, including Julianna Margulies, Sarah Silverman, Edward James Olmos, Joel McHale, Debra Messing, Bellamy Young and Tony Goldwyn. The goal is to provide enough innoculations to vaccines to immunize 70% of the global population by mid-2022.
“We are joining with CARE to call on global leaders to make 7 billion vaccine doses available before the end of 2021, and an additional 7 billion doses by mid-2022 to fully vaccinate 70% of the world by next summer,” the letter continues. The rest of the letter points out the different areas leaders will need to invest in to achieve this goal, namely last-mile delivery systems, public education and frontline healthcare workers.
