WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said there was a "vast global gap" between the organization's ambition for a fund, known as the "Access to Covid-19 Tools Accelerator" , and the funds already pledged to fight the virus.
"While we're grateful for those that have made contributions, we're only 10% of the way to funding the billions required to realize the promise of the ACT Accelerator," he said. The Economist Intelligence Unit , which is tracking the amount of money pledged globally to fight the virus, including funding under the ACT Accelerator initiative,Tedros said that the funding needed for vaccines alone was over $100 billion. While a lot of money, the figure was "small in comparison to the 10 trillion dollars that have already been invested by G-20 countries in fiscal stimulus to deal with the consequences of the pandemic so far," he said.
Acknowledging the suffering caused by the pandemic, Tedros said there were "green shoots of hope," nonetheless.
WHO warnings generally drift off to yearning for more money. It appears that XiJinping is not the great philanthropist fake media says he is. tt:GordonGChang
