Access to the vaccine be part of these discussions . I think leaders are very much going to be focused on cooperation to finding a way to distribute the vaccine and not necessarily on competition. Those may well be conversations held between countries that have announced that they are competing to become the 1st. But remember, the United States is the one most notably who has said it will not participate in an international effort. Now there has been a letter addressed to the g. , 20 by several leaders, including the head of the w. H. O. , the world health organization, and signed by commission. President Ursula Vander lion asking g. 20 leaders to make up a funding shortfall of 4500000000. 00 in a w. H. O. Program that would ensure equitable, equitable distribution around the world of a vaccine. So i think that thats what, what the push is going to be not to focus on the competitions, the, the, you know, sort of horse race that weve seen, but rather on getting everyone on the same page
Including here at the g 20 to get everyone on the same page to ensure that whoever develops a vaccine 1st makes it makes it available all over the world. And in fact, Ursula Vander Lyon and the head of the w. H. O. And some other leaders have addressed a letter to the g 20 leaders. Asking them very specifically to make up a funding shortfall in a w. H. O. Program. There is 4500000000 missing at the moment, and they want this money to be able to ensure equitable, equitable distribution. And of course, while the United States has sat out, the United States has said that its on its own, perhaps now with the election of joe biden. I think that european leaders are very much hopeful they will be able to bring in the United States as well. And speaking of the United States, this is likely Donald Trumps last appearance on the world stage as u. S. President.
