Why the US will snob the WHO program on the anti Covid vaccine
The US, after exiting the WHO and cutting funds for the organization, also remains out of Covax, the global alliance for the anti Covid vaccine
The US will not participate in the WHO worldwide vaccine alliance.
The White House, as confirmed by the Trump administration, has no intention of participating in this global program because it is coordinated by the World Health Organization, from which the US left after considering it an accomplice of China in covering up the beginnings of the pandemic .
All the details.
THE WORLD PLAN
Let's start from the beginning. Vaccines global access (Covax) is a global vaccine alliance created in collaboration with the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and Gavi Allicance, an organization made up of public and private entities including Bill Gates.
Covax aims to accelerate the development and testing of a Covid vaccine, ensuring fair distribution. Several countries have already joined the world alliance, as announced by the WHO in recent weeks.
USA OUTSIDE COVAX
Among these, however, the United States will be absent. Trump will not cooperate with the alliance. It does not approve of the coordination of the World Health Organization, from which the US left in May, also cutting funds.
TRUMP WILL BE ALONE
Confirming the intentions of the US is Judd Deere, spokesman for the White House, who, answering a question on the subject to the Washington Post, said: The United States will continue to involve our international partners to ensure that we defeat this virus, but we will not be bound by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China ”.
"Under the leadership of President Trump, vaccine research and therapy, development and trials have advanced to unprecedented levels," Deere added.
A SHOT IN SEARCH
The US decision to stay out of Covax represents a "real blow" to the worldwide effort to secure a vaccine, Suerie Moon, co-director of the Global Health Center at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies in Geneva, told the Washington Post. .
"Countries' behavior when it comes to vaccines in this pandemic will have political repercussions beyond public health," he added. "Are you a reliable partner or, at the end of the day, are you going to keep all your toys to yourself?"
WHO: ATTENTION TO VACCINE NATIONALISMS
The WHO has also intervened on the issue in recent days, which has warned, writes The Guardian , against the potential impacts of "vaccine nationalism".
“No one is safe until everyone is safe. No country has access to research and development, manufacturing and the entire supply chain of all essential medicines and materials, ”WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. "We have to prevent vaccine nationalism."
