“Pandemia will end when the world decides to end, is in our hands, all necessary tools are available”, World Health Organisation General Director (OBSH) said at a conference in Berlin.
He expressed regret that thus far “bota has not used these tools wisely and said that with “around 50,000 deaths in the world per week, the pandemic is far from complete”.
O Header BSH spoke at the grand opening of “The World Summit on Health”, the annual gathering of professionals and politicians in Berlin.
O Target... BSH is about 40 percent of each country's population to be vaccinated by the end of the year and 70 percent by the middle of 2022. Tedros regularly points out that he is sorry for the acumation of vaccines against COVIDD-19 in wealthy countries.
It's possible, but only if the countries and companies that control the supply turn their words into works. Countries that have already vaccinated 40 percent of the population, including G20, must leave their amounts to the distribution of vaccines to the international Covax system and the African Vaccination Fund (Avat) established by the African Union,” said Tedros.
“Vaccinators should share their knowledge, technologies and licenses and give up intellectual property rights,” he explained.
In a recorded video message, UN head Antonio Guterres estimated that <x0... successful vaccines developed and marketed in record time were overshadowed by the tragedy of unfair distribution”.
“We are all threatened by nationalism and the accumulate of vaccines,” said Guterres.
