English: We in Wales have a responsibility, as a higher income country, to assist with the provision of global financial support, medical supplies and, crucially, sharing vaccine supplies. This means providing greater support to those countries we already have connections with, reaching out to other countries in need, and pushing the UK Government to do what is morally right and redistribute vaccines to where they are needed and waive intellectual property rights on the vaccine. There are so many benefits to sharing the provision as set out in the People's Vaccine campaign; not only is it a medical necessity to save lives and fight COVID-19, but it is also a moral imperative and an economic priority. Appallingly, since the start of the pandemic, only 0.7 per cent of all global manufactured vaccine doses have gone to low-income countries. At the same time, almost 50 per cent of vaccines sold by four of the largest COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers: AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson have been delivered to high-income countries. Yet these high-income countries only comprise 16 per cent of the world's population. In total, AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, and Johnson & Johnson have collectively delivered 47 times as many doses to high-income countries as they have to low-income countries. Distributing COVID-19 vaccines based on wealth or nationality, rather than need, risks lives, delays economic recovery, and exacerbates the length of the pandemic. The People's Vaccine Alliance have highlighted the following five steps that must be fulfilled to successfully deliver the people's vaccine, which are: the need to vaccinate at least 60 per cent of the planet; remove intellectual property on vaccines and COVID-19 knowledge; invest large amounts of public money into manufacturing more vaccine doses for around the world; provide vaccines, treatments and tests free of charge; and scale up global financial support for expanding and improving public health systems. The prolonging of the pandemic, without a people's vaccine, only continues to jeopardise public health everywhere, while threatening the global economy and people's living standards. Let's ensure Wales plays its part as a globally responsible nation by doing all that we can to enable the life-saving escalation of global vaccine production. I look forward to hearing the other contributions to the debate today. Diolch.
Welsh: Mae gennym ni yng Nghymru gyfrifoldeb, fel gwlad incwm uchel, i gynorthwyo gyda darparu cymorth ariannol byd-eang, cyflenwadau meddygol, ac yn hanfodol, rhannu cyflenwadau o'r brechlyn. Mae hyn yn golygu darparu mwy o gymorth i'r gwledydd y mae gennym gysylltiadau â hwy eisoes, estyn allan at wledydd eraill sydd mewn angen, a phwyso ar Lywodraeth y DU i wneud yr hyn sy'n foesol gywir ac ailddosbarthu brechlynnau i'r man lle mae eu hangen ac ildio hawliau eiddo deallusol ar y brechlyn. Mae cymaint o fuddion i rannu'r ddarpariaeth fel y nodwyd yn ymgyrch Brechlyn y Bobl; nid yn unig ei fod yn anghenraid meddygol i achub bywydau ac ymladd COVID-19, ond mae hefyd yn rheidrwydd moesol ac yn flaenoriaeth economaidd. Ers dechrau'r pandemig, mae'n ofnadwy mai 0.7 y cant yn unig o'r holl ddosau o'r brechlynnau a weithgynhyrchwyd ledled y byd sydd wedi mynd i wledydd incwm isel. Ar yr un pryd, mae bron i 50 y cant o'r brechlynnau a werthwyd gan bedwar o'r gwneuthurwyr brechlyn COVID-19 mwyaf: AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, a Johnson & Johnson wedi'u dosbarthu i wledydd incwm uchel. Serch hynny, 16 y cant yn unig o boblogaeth y byd sy'n byw yn y gwledydd incwm uchel hyn. Gyda'i gilydd, mae AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, a Johnson & Johnson wedi dosbarthu 47 gwaith yn fwy o ddosau i wledydd incwm uchel nag i wledydd incwm isel. Mae dosbarthu brechlynnau COVID-19 yn seiliedig ar gyfoeth neu genedligrwydd, yn hytrach nag ar angen, yn peryglu bywydau, yn atal adferiad economaidd, ac yn ymestyn hyd y pandemig. Mae Cynghrair Brechlyn y Bobl wedi tynnu sylw at y pum cam canlynol y mae'n rhaid eu cymryd er mwyn darparu brechlyn y bobl yn llwyddiannus, sef: yr angen i frechu o leiaf 60 y cant o'r bobl ar y blaned; cael gwared ar hawliau eiddo deallusol ar frechlynnau a gwybodaeth am COVID-19; buddsoddi symiau mawr o arian cyhoeddus mewn gweithgynhyrchu mwy o ddosau o'r brechlynnau ar gyfer pob rhan o'r byd; darparu brechlynnau, triniaethau a phrofion yn rhad ac am ddim; a chynyddu cymorth ariannol byd-eang i'r gwaith o ehangu a gwella systemau iechyd y cyhoedd. Mae ymestyn hyd y pandemig, heb frechlyn y bobl, yn parhau i beryglu iechyd y cyhoedd ym mhobman, tra'n bygwth yr economi fyd-eang a safonau byw pobl. Gadewch inni sicrhau bod Cymru'n chwarae ei rhan fel gwlad sy'n gyfrifol ar lefel fyd-eang drwy wneud popeth a allwn i gynyddu cynhyrchiant y brechlyn er mwyn achub bywydau pobl ym mhob rhan o'r byd. Edrychaf ymlaen at glywed y cyfraniadau eraill i'r ddadl heddiw. Diolch.
