The Trump administration says the U.S. will not participate in a global push to develop a COVID-19 vaccine — in part because the effort is led by the World Health Organization.

World Health Organization Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned against what he describes as"vaccine nationalism."World Health Organization Secretary-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has warned against what he describes as"vaccine nationalism."The Trump administration says the U.S.

in discussions to join the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility, or COVAX. The initiative is"aimed at working with vaccine manufacturers to provide countries worldwide equitable access to safe and effective vaccines" and is co-led by the WHO, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and the vaccine alliance GAVI.

At best, it'll likely be months before a U.S. vaccine for the SARS-CoV-2 virus will be authorized for widespread distribution. The coronavirus has

Any chance of a US citizen opting for the WHO vaccine instead of the rushed, unproven 'vaccine' pushed by politics and djt?

FireGoddessB Our president is a toddler. My kids acted better at 2-3 and you could reason with them better too.

Cuz yeah...world health. Who needs it .

realDonaldTrump you really are Unfit. I know I will never take part in a vaccine you purchase from Putin. In fact, so long as you’re involved, I’ll pass. 🖕🏼

Just keep cranking that stupidity knob.

This is so he can release an undeveloped vaccine before the election and he knows nobody else would approve it.

realDonaldTrump so America first will work out just fine...

FireGoddessB His ignorance is boundless.

...but mostly because they know the free market will produce one long before any government body can.

It’s just as well the United States doesn’t need a vaccine for CV19.

No they have their own agenda and wanna push their own version of a vaccine sooner for political clout.

During the biggest health crisis amazing

He has a point

I mean, successive US Governments have created & sustained an opioid crisis in America for the benefit of the pharmaceutical industry (& thus economy), so this shouldn't surprise anyone, really. White House isn't interested in a cure unless it's wholly theirs so they can sell it.

If you trust the WHO, then I have a ski condo to sell you. It is in Aruba.

We are being led by idiots who are followed by lemmings. I hope America is still around in 5 years!

Fact

Makes sense. China has caused enough turmoil already. Who needs them!

DerangedDonald realDonaldTrump strikes again! TrumpVirusCatastrophe

This is petty, even for the spoiled orange baby in the Oval.

All of Trump's Coronavirus actions/non-actions/decisions are enough evidence to clear the hurdle for an involuntary manslaughter charge. Some would argue 2nd degree Murder because he KNEW his actions/non-actions/decisions would lead to massive deaths.

And you conveniently left out because the US is doing just fine on our own as well. Got narrative, NPR?

Petty. Wrong. Trump endangers we the people as he embarks on his revenge ride.

Don Lemon accuser optimistic CNN host will be held accountable for alleged encounter

WHO doesn't manufacture or research any vaccine. It is simply an administrative function that does nothing other than consume resources (Money) and extra bureaucracy (Time). Vaccine development and manufacture of several different versions is already +80% complete.

🙄 I really hate that “man”

Trump is such a disaster. His supporters are either stupid, want to make their wallets great again or both

I observe his pattern of behavior is often like someone sayin'...'you're not gonna tell me what to do!'

hope it's still an option when we get rid of tRump

What kind of shithole country would hoard a cure to save the rest of the world?

Old head-in-the-sand realDonaldTrump at his utterly ignorant best right here.

We are leading our own push for a vaccine.

6%

Of course Trump doesn't want to participate for a few reasons: 1. He and his family would find it difficult to make money off of it. 2. He couldn't control the release and, therefore, get his accolades. Also, he couldn't let more people die. 3. Putin said no.

Brilliant once again

We sooo smart! 4% of the world’s population, 22% of the Covid! Wow...senile stroked out President realDonaldTrump

So sick and tired of this petty President. His administration has been about him and how great and popular he is, he hasn’t matured past a middle school mentality. A great many of his supporters are just as petty And self absorbed as he is.

This administration is basically racist White Facebook uncles & I am so tired.

You mean the Criminal Trump Organization....

Good.

Unreal.

But mostly because he wouldn’t be able to take full credit for it

Again, because it doesn’t make Trump look like the star, he doesn’t want anything to do with it. Typical narcissist.

Because of course he won’t

Why would NPR use this as cover to push vaccines? 🤔 Follow the $ of course! It leads back to the father of vaccines. No conflict with his view that the greatest global threat is population growth. Safe vaccines assured! DefundNPR

Why does this power to deny rest with the idiot in the WH?

President Biden will fix this on 1/21/21.

Refusing to stop the spread of an infectious disease to trigger the libs.

USA won't get a vaccine but will lose WWIII. I'm so glad I'm an American 🙄

Just plain STUPID!

Now you see, folks. Yet another embarrassment from the “world leader” USA 🇺🇸. Vote. Him. Out.

He has got to go. All will benefit.

Covid-19 is a hoax the numbers are a lie and no one wants your fucking vaccine DefundNPR

That's because our President is such a team player! We all have to pay for his stupidity.

In other words they wouldnt be agreeing with trumps lies and trump wouldnt get full credit when the vaccine came out, so trump doesnt wanna

The USA, former-superpower, now diseased 4th World plague state run by a man-child.

Shocker...

fxstguy

WHO is a Chinese pawn.

Ignorance

Petty and stupid.

Excellent. If you take a vaccine for a virus with a 99% survival rate, then you are the type of person who will donate $250 for a tote bag.

As the US abandons the free world, the free world moves on without us. Even if we jettison Trump, how long will it take to regain our stature among allies? They have seen us install a president of gross incompetent and malevolence, and must assume we might do it again.

There are at least a half dozen vaccines in third level trials - isn't a bit late for this anyway?

He'd rather work with Zombies than the Who

guess which vaccine I'm taking?

Here's the other part.

Who cares who developed it, people are still dying. Duh!

“America First or America Last” ? 🤔

63 days.

The WHO should be begging to join our researchers who are developing a vaccine.

A safe vaccine won't be available until the end of the year...maybe Donnie will not be in office to say much of anything..positively

The WHO is a terrorist organisation

Gotta love it.

So we are just disconnected from the world. What 💩 🕳 President

GREAT!!!!!

Nah nah that's fine, hold your grudges please. It's not like there are 400 million people that you are responsible for that would benefit from having a good relationship with the World Health Organization /s

Murderers

In part because it's a biological weapon deployed by himself and Putin to undermine our entire way of life and make it so he can become Putin's puppet dictator. FIFY

Talk about cutting off your nose to spite your face! Regardless of the dispute with the WHO why limit your country’s chances for getting the best possible vaccine.

Why? So America can be the leader in deaths caused by vaccine?

That should speed things along here.

🤦🏽‍♀️

Cause I'm tired of saying it: 🌎🤡👉💀

Putting a big ol smile on the antivaxxer faces of Q anon everywhere.

Wow everyday new low bottom

I absolutely just cannot

What a childish reason, please let our next President act like an adult.

We are becoming a pariah in the world's eyes.

I wonder if we will find out years from now that it was all talk and they did cooperate behind the scenes

assinine TrumpMustGo
