The Galtung Triangle - BLM Protests Over the summer, much of white America was shocked at the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that were taking place in America’s major cities, and even America’s smaller cities. A lot of articles and blog posts were written about why the protests were happening in order to give Americans more ignorant of their history and understanding of the anger among the Black community.

Countries need to work together in order to get there with over 750,000 people dead and the poor state of the global economy.GAVI, the vaccine alliance, who has been primarily focused on finding a vaccine for AIDs, has opened a facility where they will try to make the vaccine accessible for all countries, especially poorer ones.

They hope to pool together the resources of wealthier countries to help the vaccine reach poorer countries so that it is available for everyone. Since the vaccine can’t ultimately reach everyone, they want to focus primarily on health care workers and people at risk. They aim to vaccinate 20% of the population sin...
