The center polled 32,000 people between October 2019 to March 2020 in Europe, the Asia-Pacific region, and in the United States, Canada, Brazil and Russia, finding that a median of 82 percent consider government investment in scientific research worthwhile.

París. Los países más pobres del mundo recibirán un total de 200 millones de dosis de la futura vacuna anticoronavirus, y la OMS anunció además que busca financiación para distribuir en ellos 120 millones de pruebas de diagnóstico rápidas para frenar la propagación de la pandemia.

El nuevo coronavirus, que ya ha cobrado más de un millón de vidas en el mundo y ha provocado al menos 33,5 millones de contagios, ha aumentado en muchos aspectos la brecha entre países ricos y pobres.
