Background information: This passage is part of a policy speech that US Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave in 2021.
The pandemic has defined lives—our lives—for more than a year. To beat it back, we need governments, scientists, businesses, and communities around the world working together. None of us will be fully safe until the majority of the world is immune because as long as the virus is replicating, it could mutate into new strains that find their way back to America. So we need to work closely with partners to keep the global vaccination effort moving forward.
