He applauded manufacturers who had pledged to sell their vaccines at cost. But he called on companies to do more.
"Having received substantial public funding, we encourage all manufacturers to share their data and technology to ensure global, equitable access to vaccines and we call on companies to share their dossiers with WHO faster and more fully than they have been doing so we can review them for emergency used listing," he said.
Dr Tedros said the number of vaccinations worldwide had overtaken the number of reported coronavirus infections."In one sense, that is good news and a remarkable achievement in such a short timeframe," he said of the global vaccination rate.
Sputnik V has minimal side effects, is 92% effective against COVID, is very affordable, and only requires normal refrigeration. SFW if it's from Russia?!
That’s why I am asking bruce_haigh LesStonehouse
Is this what you think of every time “The Who” is trending? WHO
If we don't get the vaccine out to every country asap we might as well stop trying to live healthy bc COVID will never diminish.
Exactly along the lines of what I have been saying! The powers that be have allowed drug companies to slow walk production so they can max their profits! I called on Biden to use the DPA to FORCE the manufacture of vaccines to meet the demand as fast as physically possible!
how is this guy still the WHO chief
Sesame Street has more respect than this group of frauds. Disgusting.
Well, good luck convincing big pharma to be socially responsible!
The chief should campaign for Prime Minister of Ethiobia to lead his country out of current crisis with his leadership to lead the world into the pandemic.
What did WHO do actually? A whole organisation of medical experts can’t even come out a vaccine under hugh funding. Drug companies are private corps, of course they are profit driven, their investors put their money in for profit not for donation.
One would have thought that would be a given considering it's a global pandemic & every single living creature on this earth is in dire. The world will not recover unless Evey corner of the globe can vaccinate. Share the proces, ingredients, production equipment & skills.
Never work. Always beg others who worked. Western education!
