respond to the following paragraph by adding more information? This article covers world leaders pleading to create and give out 1 billion vaccines to the poorer nations. Leaders of the world made commitments to donate a large amount of vaccine doses to help the developing nations. The US would be responsible for about half of the 1 billion doses. Joe Biden said that he is stepping up and has a duty to donate as many vaccines in his control. He said that the U.S. can eventually contribute by delivering around 1 billion doses total. The British prime minister Boris Johnson said that the vaccine doses will be going straight to the World Health Organization and the Vaccine Alliance. The approximate number of vaccines that are needed to vaccinate at least 70% of the world's population is around 11 billion doses.

Microsoft knew that its business clients would benefit from Skype's friendly user-interface and sophisticated tools and features. However, the company currently had the homegrown Lync product in its portfolio, which was designed to integrate with Outlook and serve as clients' primary communications platform.
