The founders of @WHO very consciously decided to move the health organisation out of „political“ New York because of the experiences with the politicisation of health leading up to and during WW2 at the League of Nations. We must go back and read this history.

There are two types of #vaccinediplomacy - one to practice #solidarity through #COVAX - the other to achieve geopolitical gain through donations and special pricing - the challenge of the multilateral system is to strengthen the first to ensure #VaccinEquity

Ever wonder what @WHO does aside from press conferences? It sends equipment, it advises countries, it works on the ground, it trains professionals, it develops guidelines, it informs the public, it analyses responses - and yet countries refuse to finance it properly #COVID19

To fight #COVID ー19, @WHO has sent protective equipment to nearly 70 countries, and 1.5 million diagnostic kits to 120 nations. Agency chief @DrTedros says they are working to ensure a 'continuous pipeline' so that more supplies can be sent.

Germany is a fascinating case study of how pending elections influence #COVID19 policy - the issues at stake get highly politicised, politicians still in power are afraid to act, and ideology (FREEDOM) reigns supreme 🇩🇪

Only greater investment in public health and prevention-based health care, affordable access to medical services for the most vulnerable, and the federal and international architecture needed to prevent, detect, and respond can prepare the world #COVID -19.
