An ample supply of a covid vaccine could become a coin of geopolitical power, as oil and nuclear weapons are now. Governments will be counting on it to allow them to reopen economies and assure political stability.Alliances are already shifting #politvirus

The @WHO #WearAMask challenge from @DrTedros must reach the 🌎 so here is my mask fabricated by adolescent girls in #Kinshasa, #Goma, #Lubimbashi of @UNFPARDC & @UNESCOKinshasa #Kitumaini prog #humancapital @PeterByass I nominate @bjlaurenceau @NicolasJSimard @MarkB_Schreiner

What kind of humans are those? I can’t focus on the public health message. I just keep wondering: WHAT KIND OF TROUSERS ARE THESE GUYS WEARING AND WHY!? The Swedish obsession with gender neutrality has finally reached a perverted level!

"It is deeply unhelpful and counterproductive for the @WHO to become a forum for political point scoring by member states in the pursuit of narrow national interests": Gro Brundtland in @kyodo_english calls for multilateral cooperation to tackle #COVID19.

Mythbusters from ⁦@WHO⁩ is a great resource (with fun graphics!) to share with anyone in your life who’s still anti-mask, pro-hydroxychloroquine, believes heat kills #covid19 and more:

Way beyond acceptable - @GlobalHealthAct we have a clear policy of rejecting field studies that do not include national scientists and institutions. Time this became normal in scientific publishing.

Huge thanks to @WHO VA reference group for its solid and steady contributions. #CRVS and VA are a priority. We need to simplify, standardize, and scale application in countries with speed. Thanks @sinafala for your expertise.

It baffles me that some people think that we can't abhor & fight racism & other injustice simultaneously. It's not the discrimination Olympics. There doesn't have to be only one winner. I see the plight of working class white boys & I fight for them too. Common enemy? Priviledge

Never been a fan of this question - none of us knows, even without pandemics
