Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s cut to U.S. funding for GAVI risks lives globally and damages America’s international standing. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/07/07/world/rfk-endangers-babies-lives/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #robertfkennedy #rfk #donadtrump #gavi #covax #covid19 #health #medicine #vaccinations
#COVAX
#BillGates #Vaccines #IP #Patents #COVAX: "There’s no denying Gates was subject to conspiracies, including that he was putting microchips in Covid vaccines and might be a lizard person. But there was also righteous anger aimed at him for opposing an effort to waive intellectual property (IP) rights on the vaccines so more companies could manufacture them and sell them at much lower cost to increase access in the Global South. Gates pushed the COVAX initiative, claiming it would get vaccines to low-income countries despite the IP rules, that largely failed and actively spread misinformation in the media about the ability of other facilities around the world to manufacture Covid vaccines. He was accused of enabling vaccine apartheid. That was no conspiracy theory, but you won’t hear anything about that in the series. According to its narrative, all the anger he faced was based on misinformation."
📢 Ever wondered how COVID-19 vaccination campaigns have fared globally? 💉
Let's dive into a real-world example from #Belize. Our study aimed to uncover the factors associated with #vaccine uptake, hesitancy, and intention.

@johnzajac Of course, it wasn't #Capital picking up the cost - the #Pharmaceuticals made off like bandits. It was #government ie you and me, and if they couldn't pay (as in the #thirdworld) you were largely left on your own. The #COVAX plan was deemed "too ambitious". Attempts to curtail profits to make vaccines more affordable went nowhere. #COVID19 https://www.statnews.com/2021/10/08/how-covax-failed-on-its-promise-to-vaccinate-the-world/
#TeamEurope has just delivered 1.5 million #COVID19 vaccines to Nepal through #COVAX!
The vaccine support from Austria, Czech Republic, France, Greece & Italy will contribute to Nepal’s efforts to continue vaccinating people across the country. More: https://bit.ly/3zQ0iRg

"Will there ever be any historical accountability for the decisions by wealthy countries to promise fairness through the #Covax scheme, only to turn around and short-change the global supply so dramatically in the heart of the emergency?"

You know how #Covax was one of the largest-ever mobilizations of humanitarian funding?
And then ... we didn't really learn anything at all about what happened with that money for #Covid #vaccines?
Well, someone leaked me some financial documents, and they were .... eye-opening.
Here's what I know so far (an unlocked link.)

J&J and Novavax playing hard with @gavi and #Covax
"Drug companies have so far declined to refund $US1.4 billion in advance payments ... confidential documents obtained by @nytimes"

Watching how this has played out with secret commercial-in-confidence deals and big profits at every turn..

The #ClimateCrisis is also a health crisis. We need to take immediate steps to transform our #health systems to avoid another global pandemic. Just like #COVAX, we must launch similar mechanisms to address the global public health impact of #ClimateChange. http://bit.ly/3VeewE3

Ende 2022 hat sich in Deutschland die öffentliche Debatte zur #Pandemie nahezu vollständig von der globalen Ebene des Problems abgewendet. Wir blicken zurück, wo die verschiedenen Projekte zur Eindämmung gerade stehen.🔍
Dabei hält gerade dieser Dezember einige interessante Ausblicke auf wichtige Entwicklungen in 2023 bereit. In einer zweiteiligen Analyse werfen wir zunächst einen Blick auf den Status-quo bei #COVAX und den #COVID19-Technology Access Pool.👀
Sorry but how on earth can #covax be suggested as the #blueprint for the next #pandemic and for #equity ?!
Unbelievable.
So ends a historic attempt at global health equity: The board of Gavi votes this week on ending #Covax, even though some Gavi-supported countries are at <20% Covid vaccine coverage. The average among Gavi-countries is 52%. And 37 middle-income countries would be cut off after a one-time infusion of cash to take over Covid vaccination on their own. Thanks to vaccine nationalism, Omicron and a series of missteps, demand for shots globally is minimal. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/06/health/covid-vaccines-covax-gavi.html?unlocked_article_code=I0gswX0sD7xUortbHHQaakgy94bVmymnrTOO1hgGFmEc3tcgVF-HNYVVGRKFS3P6vVBTTqbeozQSAjd6eRsVq5FiPBmDQPJAUJhiecgkIqyzrq07Gzg2JzwRJJUOF7dd1tgP6dqQnzJ_F1cXJL5W5908i4b5mL6Kgd2vrRGu6TL1LYOqCzpcpr6xlONVg1LjyCUVWhsCLF7WSXr1ZiLTTIxjBUa_5C2QKzUnbcTR0BaIBVRTB1b5K5eRZcfBIfZ5MuYllgMc0M8ArvoddQMGP3kHHo1tlU1q8uVIuBLnSJFZDxc-Hgdh8Rnke_e9LDhUNgFeo6z_pWSMHZVmeir_RW_naQ&smid=share-url

RT @wernerhoyer: #COVAX, led by @Gavi and supported by @EIB is one of the main global success stories fighting the pandemic. Similar mechanisms are needed to face future health threats, exacerbated by #ClimateChange.
