Director-General s opening remarks at the media briefing on COVID-19 – 7 May 2021
Format
Wednesday’s announcement by the United States of America that it will support a temporary waiver of intellectual property protections for COVID-19 vaccines is a significant statement of solidarity and support for vaccine equity. We are in an unprecedented crisis that requires unprecedented action. Cases are at a record high, almost 100 thousand people are dying globally each week, and we have a chronic vaccine crisis.
This afternoon, WHO gave Emergency Use Listing to Sinopharm Beijing’s COVID-19 vaccine, making it the sixth vaccine to receive WHO validation for safety, efficacy and quality. The Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on Immunization, or SAGE, has also reviewed the available data, and recommends the vaccine for adults 18 years and older, with a two-dose schedule.

WARNING: New World Health Organization Group to Plan Health and the Economy of the Entire World
The World Health Organization is convening eleven leading figures in economics, health and development from around the world as the first members of the WHO Council on the Economics of Health For All.
This is an extremely dangerous development.
Remember the WHO played a lead role in advising globally on the lockdowns that occurred as a result of a virus, COVID-19, that is not a serious threat to over 99% of the population.
Now they appear to want to expand their authoritarian reach with a group of experts that are extremely radical leftists.
Date Time
Global experts of new WHO Council on Economics of Health For All announced
Initial 11 members are distinguished experts in economics, health, government, finance and development from around the world.
Council’s focus is on new strategies to shape economies and financial systems with the objective of building healthy societies that are just, inclusive, equitable and sustainable. It will incorporate lessons learned during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Council will hold its first meeting on 6 May 2021 led by Chair Mariana Mazzucato, Professor of the Economics of Innovation and Public Value and Founding Director in the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London.
