Sumario:Life and Health at Stake: Global Asymmetries Regarding Access to COVID-19 Vaccines. -- Abstract: This paper focuses on the severe inequalities in the access to vaccines for COVID-19 depending on the place of residence of the person and thus, on the differential access to the right to health. A few countries, those of great economic and technological power, have bought vaccines in excess and others, bought them little by little. Others could not even afford them. This disparity is one of the many generated by financial capitalism that the pandemic has placed in the center of the discussion. In this context, disproportionate corporate power through monopoly of patents turns out to be the arbitrator between life and death. Up until now States have failed to achieve a multilateral and cooperative effort to secure universal access to vaccines. This paper puts forward the States' duty to take a different path and make vaccination accessible. This international duty emerges from precise legal obligations from the right to life, the right to health and the right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress as well as the social function of private property. The must ensure international cooperation, in the context of this unprecedented global health emergency. But, also, it is the only rational attitude that is expected from the international community to face in an effective way a global pandemic that does not admit being controlled only in one State or a few States.
