Pretty standard WHO presentation, it was interesting listening to their reasoning for terminating some programs early, and it was very nice to hear about the blind vaccine distribution program in the works designed to circumvent the effects of vaccine nationalism in areas such as Latin America and Africa that are unable to develop a domestic vaccine and can’t license or import enough foreign supplies.

I think I’ll definitely read the June meeting where each country will go more in depth into the mistakes made by the their states and pharmaceutical companies and how they plan to remedy that for the future…

It’s also been hilarious watching the anti vax conspiracy theory Nazis run around like always. My favorite was that the WHO announced at this meeting that they believe the 7 million deaths reported by member states is woefully low, and that their estimates place the death toll and excess mortality from covid infection at 20 million. The nuts took this to mean that the WHO said that vaccines killed 20 million people 😂. My other favorite was that a journalist asked if Covid was a bio-weapon and the director said that that was a possibility just the same as if Covid naturally evolved, but that they don’t know for certain though they lean on it being more natural then man made. Again, the nuts took this to mean that China created a bioweapon to target America, and that the reason China had low infections and deaths was because they already had a secret cure.
