WHO said the world is in the early stages of infection, the new death caused by Covid-19 and only the new vaccine ends pandemic.
19 months after the epidemic outbreak and 7 months since the first vaccine was approved, we are in the early stages of another infection and death wave, general manager of the World Health Organization (WHO)
WHO CEO WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus spoke to the International Olympic Committee in Tokyo on July 21.
According to Mr. Tedros, global failure on vaccine sharing, testing and treatment is leading to two-way pandemic.
This is not only moral insult, but also to defeat himself in epidemiology and economy.
WHO General Director also criticized the vaccine between rich countries and poor countries.
Vaccine is a powerful and essential tool, but the world has not used efficiency, he said.
WHO has called for great efforts around the world to vaccinate at least 70% of the population in every country in the middle of next year.
He also urged the leading economies to share vaccines and sponsored global efforts to easily access vaccines, as well as encourage companies to expand production scale.
The Tokyo Olympics will open on July 23 after a year postponed because of the pandemic, in the context of CA Covid-19 rapidly in Tokyo.
However, Tedros thinks that the Olympics is an event needed for the current world to light up the hope of the pandemic period.
