单选题 From the perspective of disease, we are all one people on this planet, divided by risk more on the basis of wealth than of geography. This flu will not be deadly for 99.9 percent of those it infects, and that's a good thing not only for infected individuals like me but for the world as a whole. Why? Because we have utterly flailed the globalization test in our response to H1N1. The most effective tool in fighting flu is a good vaccine, and the pharmaceutical industry is working on manufqcturing supplies right now. According to the World Health Organization. about 1 billion doses of H1N1 vaccine have been ordered worldwide. But more than 1/2 billion people live on Earth. From the get - go, some 85 percent of the world's population wil be excluded from what, were this a virulent (危险的,迅速致命的) influenza, would be the primary life- sparing medicine. Worse, those 1 billion orders have been prioritized, with the wealthiest nations at the top of the list. This effectively means that before New Year's Eve only about 5 percent of the world population will have been immunized.
What is the author's attitude towards the fact that the wealthiest nations have the priority to order the vaccine against H1N1?
  • A. Indifferent
