TEDROS CALLS FOR MORE AGGRESSION AGAINST ANTI-VAXXERS
โBut you know the serious challenge that is posed by anti-vaxxers, and I think we need to strategize to really push back because vaccines work, vaccines affect adults, and we have science, evidence on our side,โ said Tedros.

Several nations and non-state actors have submitted official statements regarding the proposed amendments to the International Health Regulations and the “Pandemic Agreement.”
The United States submitted a statement regarding the proposed โPandemic Agreement and believes they cannot come up with a final agreement in a few months. Emphasis added.
Here are the key statements:
- The Pandemic Agreement must include firm commitments, including on pandemic prevention and One Health, rapid and open sample and data sharing with a clearly defined menu of benefit sharing obligations, and timely and equitable sharing of life-saving medical countermeasures during a pandemic emergency.
- We believe finalizing this work and delivering on our mandate will advance global health security in a more equitable manner. We do not believe an extension of just a few months will achieve this, and we do not recommend that this body issue a mandate for failure.
It’s not going away, which is why we need Trump.
- In order to set ourselves up for the highest likelihood of success, we believe an extension of one to two years is necessary, along with revised modalities, to allow for a more deliberative, thoughtful, and effective process, which would include time for proper consultations with experts and stakeholders and consideration for the practical realities of smaller delegations.
- It is critically important we reach an agreement that lives up to our collective vision — a world safer from the risk posed by infectious disease threats, regardless of where they arise.
