RINGO CHIU / AFP Via Getty Images Since The Pandemic Started, The United States Has Prioritized Funding For Nuclear Arms And The Military Over Global Vaccines. Since the pandemic began, the United States has spent 7.5 times more money on nuclear weapons than on global vaccine donations. Stated another way, the money put towards global vaccine donations has amounted to just 13% of the money put toward nuclear weapons. The comparison shows that, even […]

Above Photo: Scientists at Afrigen Biologics and Vaccines (pictured) have shown that mRNA vaccines can quickly be replicated.Rodger Bosch / AFP/Getty A major milestone was reached last week when scientists in South Africa reproduced Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine. COVID-19 patents must now be shared. It took a pandemic for the world to learn that African countries import 99% of their vaccines. Africa has around ten vaccine manufacturers, but most do not make a vaccine’s active ingredients, and instead ‘fill and finish’ imported products. A lack of manufacturing is one reason that only 11% of the continent’s people have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. […]

Geneva – An international coalition of human rights law groups, public health experts, and civil society organizations is taking legal action against the US, UK, Germany, Norway, and Switzerland, on the grounds that these countries are in violation of international human rights law by failing to intervene on what has been an inequitable and racially discriminatory roll-out of the vaccine and other COVID healthcare technologies.

Public Health Or Private Wealth? The titans of global capitalism are exploiting the Covid-19 crisis to institute social credit-style digital ID systems across the West. The death by starvation of Etwariya Devi, a 67-year-old widow from the rural Indian state of Jharkhand, might have passed without notice had it not been part of a more widespread trend. Like 1.3 billion of her fellow Indians, Devi had been pushed to enroll in a biometric digital ID system called Aadhaar in order to access public services, including her monthly allotment of 25kg of rice. When her fingerprint failed to register with the shoddy system, […]

WASHINGTON (Sputnik) – US President Donald Trump warns that a Democratic victory in the November elections could make the coronavirus situation worse in Michigan, as well as the US as a whole. Speaking at the Saturday rally in Muskegon, Michigan, Trump told his supporters that “Democrats would terminate our recovery with a draconian unscientific lockdown like your governor is doing right now.” According to Trump, the Democrats will delay the coronavirus vaccine in the US. “A guy like Biden and the Democrats want to keep Michigan locked up, locked down and closed for business, it’s so badly hurting the state,” Trump […]

The head of Brazil’s most populous state has promised that the vaccination for Covid-19 will be compulsory for its residents. The statement quickly led to a clash with the country’s president. Sao Paulo Governor Joao Doria told reporters that immunization will start once the vaccine is authorized by the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA). “In Sao Paulo it will be mandatory, except for those with a medical note and a certificate stating that they cannot [take the vaccine],” Doria said, explaining that the state will adopt necessary regulations for the measure. Local media reported that the Sao Paulo government hopes to […]

Matthews, noting that Pelosi had previously attacked Johnson over his implementation […]
One month after regulators in the United States and United Kingdom froze trials of a British novel coronavirus vaccine candidate, U.S. testing is still on hold. That has big implications for the urgent, multi-billion-dollar effort to produce a safe, effective COVID-19 vaccine. The testing pause could slow development efforts by Astrazeneca, the U.K. pharmaceutical company, and, in turn, leave two rival pharmaceutical giants alone as leading developers of coronavirus vaccines. The problem? Both of those firms are developing the same basic type of high-tech—and potentially risky—messenger-RNA vaccine, one that has never been successfully rolled out in modern medicine.. Welcome to Rabbit […]

If the Trump administration tries to push out a novel coronavirus vaccine before it’s fully tested, there are three committees of independent experts who could stand in its way. It’s a testament to the massive stakes of this kind of work that some of their names are effectively kept secret.

But it remains to be seen just how much clout they have if the government decides to skirt science and […]

By Anna Nagurney, The Conversation Just like a fresh piece of fish, vaccines are highly perishable products and must be kept at very cold, specific temperatures. The majority of COVID-19 vaccines under development—like the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines—are new RNA-based vaccines. If they get too warm or too cold they spoil. And, just like fish, a spoiled vaccine must be thrown away. So how do companies and public health agencies get vaccines to the people who need them? The answer is something called the vaccine cold chain: a supply chain that can keep vaccines in tightly controlled temperatures from the moment […]

Mounting skepticism around a Covid-19 vaccine in the US continues, with less than half of people saying they’d take one even if they were offered $100, according to a new poll. Of the 1000-plus adults who participated in the Axios-Ipsos poll, only 44 percent said they’d take a vaccine if offered the incentive of $100.

He strongly recommended all Americans wear face masks, especially young people who continue to spike the curve of infections. […]

Anthony Fauci, a top federal health expert, has warned that rolling out a coronavirus vaccine under an emergency approval could make testing for other immunizations “impossible,” arguing it might rob the trials of participants. Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told Reuters in an interview on Monday that a vaccine should not be given an emergency use authorization (EUA) “before you have a signal of efficacy,” saying it could jeopardize the other various vaccines under testing. “One of the potential dangers if you prematurely let a vaccine out is that it would make it difficult, […]
