U.S. says will not take part in WHO global drugs, vaccine initiative launch
- drallison 7y agoThe United States should be an active participant. American exceptionalism seems to have been proven by US governmental actions; current American politicians are exceptionally stupid and exceptionally incapable of rational thought. Can we PLEASE do something about this. I am sick and tired of being asked to explain a US Govenment action by colleagues and friends in Europe or the Far East. The POTUUS should not be a laughing stock. And science and medicine in the US used to be pretty good.

Three of the COVID-19 vaccine developers have already entered the stage of human trials. These are CanSino, Inovio Pharmaceuticals, and Moderna. Other 67 potential COVID-19 vaccines are still in preclinical evaluation. ..." From my reading these trials are already global (Eg IVI, INOVIO, and KNIH to Partner with CEPI in Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of INOVIO's COVID-19 DNA Vaccine in South Korea ) CanSino is Chinese (HK) company, that already received approval from CN regulator in march to begin human trials [2] ----- What are 'WHO global drug, vaccine initiative' has that the trials that are already going on, are overlooking?
