ah, the american people have spoken, but what exactly did they say? is the world looking for a whole new order with less america in it? is the woke agenda on the decline in america. how much the social media companies know about you, and how easy is it to manipulate the quizzical look us politics? the bottom line? there is no channel that covers world views like we do. the scale of this camp is like nothing you've ever seen access to health care. what we want to know is how do these things affect people. we revisit please state, even when there are no international headlines. al jazeera, really invest in that and that's a privilege as a journalist lou.

ready and carry johnston heron dough on the top stories on al jazeera. after days of deadlock, republican leader kevin mccarthy's moving closer to securing the number of votes needed to be elected. speaker of the us house of representatives. a small group of ultra conservative republicans continued to oppose his bed. white hot reports from capitol hill, kevin mccarthy, of the state of california has 214. on the 4th day and in the 12 round of voting a glimmer of hope for kevin mccarthy. 14 of those republicans who'd been opposing him finally cost votes in his favor. but another 7 ultra conservatives continue to vote against effectively blocking his path to the speakers chair party. those who flipped apparently enticed by a series of concessions made by mccarthy, in terms of how the house will be run. these include the promise of seats on

influential committees and an agreement that it will only require one member to demand the leadership vote at any time. rather than a majority of all republican house members, there were a few people who actually had been, had an agreement on things that were important to them. but i think it was just kind of a maturation process had to take place here. and that was, well, i agree, so i'm going to go vote right now. i think the people want to think about it and consider, but really over the last yesterday and a little bit the day before is where many of these individuals i think began to change their minds. in the 13th round mac coffee picked up another republican vote . that remains at least 3 votes. short of getting majority. the margins are so res certain that every vote counts. even on the democrat side, representative david trone came straight to vote in round 13 off the surgery in the morning. receiving applause from his party colleagues still in his hospital sucks. his vote effectively added to the tele against mccarthy. by keeping the threshold

to win as high as possible, all eyes on this shifting threshold. it's based on the number of members who are actually in the house and vote. mccarthy's best charms now would appear to get the 2 absent republicans bank to vote. in a procedural vote, the house decided to adjourn for some 6 hours. the house speaker, candidate confident, now that victory is near, we make a very good progress. we'll come back tonight. i believe at that time we'll have the vote. just wanted to just remind you of what my father started for days and 13 rounds of voting and a series of concessions. but kevin mccarthy's battle is still not one. mckenna ultra 0 washington house democrats have led commemorations mark in the 2nd anniversary of the journey. the 6 attack on the u. s. capital members paid tribute

to the officers who kept them safe and remembered the 5 people who died. israel has an out sanction on the palestinian authority, often pushed the un highest judicial body to give its opinion on the israeli occupation. the decision was taken at the 1st security cabinet meeting of a new government. artillery fire has been heard in ukraine despite the shadow start of 36 out. you know, that shows the spot called by russian president vladimir putin. ukraine rejected the offer while both sides are accusing each other of continuing the shilling. type truth is the current side of the orthodox christmas holiday. 23 rebel is have handed back an important military base and eastern democratic republic of congo to government forces. its latest move by the group to fulfill its pledge to withdraw from territory seized in recent months. molly's transitional government has suspended the prison sentences of 46 soldiers from ivory coast. they been branded

mercenaries and convicted of undermining state security. the troops working for a company contracted by the un protests as in peru of locking a major border cross with bolivia for a 3rd day supporters of a former president pedro castillo on demanding that resignation of his successor in that will what a $22.00 people died in protests last month that broke out after castillo's arrest on rebellion and conspiracy charges, those are the headlines in these continues haron. i'll just say that after time of pandemic. ah, to ah, presently we are being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep forest.

primarily because planet earth is better known now as planet far animal that are reservoirs for av pathogens are coming up right up against new agriculture spilling over into the livestock. and then from there, spreading out onto the global travel science is in the middle of a political battle. what direction are we going to continue to conduct our civilization? are we going to continue on this pathway? or are we going to choose a different path? in the path that the lends itself to have

a better balance between our right to be here on the planet and survive. and the animals and landscape upon which we depend in order to do that. human societies have long faced the threats of disease. despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contend. we have destroyed our bye that we have harmed the plan. and the plan that will have itself at our expense at the expense of these global marketers. it's just an inevitable. the worry is that there's no handle this thing is going to be a force all of its own. southern

africa, i saw recently live series, the worst impacts of the h. i. v. pandemic. millions of people have died. millions of lives have been turned upside down. and then along comes covert and we have another pandemic to tackle on top of h ave. the h i v experience taught us a lot about science, vaccines and healthy justice. but when it comes to cov, dine tape, did the world learn anything from us? ah, before i became a filmmaker, i worked in

h. i v. prevention back then. hard lessons were learned, not just in south africa, but globally we learned the few people suffer and die whether strong commitment to public health and that where this the political will. everyone can have access to the medicine they need. as i said, we learn this the hard way an ugly off to a lot of unnecessary suffering. that is now a danger that has become a threat to his old. it is a deadly disease and there is no known cure. so far as being confined to small groups, but it's spreading. if you ignore aids, it could be the death of me said, don't die of ignorance. many roasts were 1st introduced to

h r v. through this kind of messaging. the implication was, if you become infected, you only have yourself to blame the people who are most affected by h r. v was somehow narrowed down to the for h's. according to the u. s. center for disease control in the 1980s. these were homosexuals, patient parent, alex, and whom affiliate or we were told the virus originated and asked the monkey which we now know to be true . with the lack of information about how the virus jumped from one species to another, led to some pretty offensive conclusions. and stoked the blame game to the emerging

health crisis. good folks, the subject matter is, so arb seen so remoting until we are ready to discourage and do our dear level best to eliminate the types of activities which have caused the spread of the aid. lever them a god only wherever gonzales 1978. representatives of 134 countries, 67 international organizations. and i've also asked h h. s. to add the aids virus to the list of contagious diseases, for which emigrants and alien seeking permanent residents in the united states can be denied entry. ah you, so when you ask, what does h i v was aids. the question is, does a virus cause and syndrome? how does a virus cause a syndrome?

it con, in the 19 ninety's in burke, he had argued against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs . well enough, again, his argument was a h r v was part of a continuing conspiracy against africans. treatment of aids was declared dear, impossible, impractical, and not cost effective. god, i hear it on the nihilism and lame. he was so adamant about her toxic and to where to rouse were that it almost seemed that he would do anything in his power never to allow them to be used in south africa, yet more to than have been infected with h of in south africa over this today conference then will be infected in other,

the united kingdom or the us in the whole of this year. and i think that's an important and frustration was running high because richer nations had a access to the new drugs developed to treat h r v. but not south africa, not unless you had lots of money. that is for most of us, h r v infection was a death sentence. we had to fight medical schools really hard around the exclusion that they had about which person was considered innocent enough to access a r v. as those were regarded as nurses who had needle stick injuries. somebody who was raped could access armies, but not somebody who was gay. that somebody who had consensual sex and men became h. i v positive. those are really difficult in dock times. and i think as a young lawyer activist, it really opened my eyes that

faded off as duck does, doesn't lie with science. the failure of not teaching a chevy lies. and in the political will of all a government to teach this it was a difficult time. it to powell of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our re treatment the reality we demanding and i know to swear to out of asked dominion as well as problem. becky tried to deny the existence of treatment action campaign put up the entire miserable effect of aids. hi denise face

is devastating. families and community are wyoming and deprecating health care services. and robin school. oh, both your drones and feature. in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign aided by former president nelson mandela, ensure that this is she was firmly placed on the international agenda. as the lead is of the global health response, president george bush answered by championing their charitable efforts for doctrine . rural south africa describes his frustration. he says we have no medicines, many hospitals tell people you've got age. we can't help you go home and die. in an age, a miraculous medicines,

no person should have to hear those words. the programs be headed by doctor antony found she. it benefited from the decision, one of the major companies to drop their payton's voluntarily. this led to drugs being made available at a fraction of the price. but just for the developing world. for millions around the globe, the aid came too late. in south africa alone, we currently have 9000000 people who are h i v positive july 20. and when available and at the time in the ninety's there were no pause. you see a peasant changing to a skeleton uses me so scary. so yeah, i h o v, i don't know when i'm a good i was in sibley,

it was with me ah this by having one of the largest intuition, baltic and programs in the world. we still have not been able to control a chevy transmission so just in terms of what we've done, and so i turned my attention to working in

a chevy vaccine research so that we could find effective ways to prevent transmission. i'm so glad that you've chosen to participate in the study. thank you for contributing to finding solutions personally for myself at home, linda or my whole family. i get it very emotional when i'm, when i'm talking about h i b was my mother, my father. my uncle's, everyone. so we suffered a lot when i lost my parents, cause of the ha, how do you owe us help me with this was 112 we had to go live with people. yes. we got big food from people because of h i v. i understand if my mother was still alive, my parents had to live my life and a chain. so h o v is i don't know how to explain. i'm very scared of

h i v. so that's why i will, is what, when i try to something those can i help in the future for this it has to be prevented. glenda gray is leading an international collaboration to find an h i. v vaccine spearheaded by the h i v vaccine trout network. larry curry hedge up this vast organization that is publicly funded through the us government. vaccines had been left to the development by pharmaceutical companies. bailey essence, with the side, what vaccines they were going to investigate. and the reality is,

is that that often is the balance between their perceived market hands, societal need. in h i v, it was a huge the sale the need. there was an enormous amount of infection in the under developed world and the non pharmaceutical market will so you saw very rapid drop out rapid dis, investment one really needed to provide the clinical infrastructure to do the clinical trial. this is the most expensive part of doing drug development and we are going to, as a society, create an infrastructure i'm

learning about the wanda of antibody mediated prevention, a clinical trial with the most beautiful cutting edge vaccine science. it is taken decades to develop something that targets h o. v's unique ability to evade a traditional vaccine. it feels like we're on the cusp of something really big here. the reason we call it number one of your c o y was the 1st potent antibody that we were able to obtain from one of the volunteers turned out to be an individual who was in clinical trials volunteering at an age donated his blood and the serum had these tremendously potent antibodies against the virus, he was happy to volunteer and he knew that we isolated the satellite from the time

and when that was done, several apps found and were actually able to make the lab protein the anybody protein that was able to kill block h i v very pull where recommend using those i did in the amp study, we're not giving a vaccine, we're actually giving the antibody protein itself. if a person individual had those antibodies before they were actually exposed, it could be completely prevented from infection. so we're almost taking a step beyond the vaccine or skipping steps and actually giving the body the immune proteins itself. the humanness of this, that someone who has h i v infection could actually provide someone who doesn't have h, i v infection to actually prevent them from getting which idea what a wonderful story. what about what a while? no problem. example of biology.

the genesis of this undertaking started on a napkin on the 19th floor of this hotel. we sit down and sort of draw it on a napkin, like how would we test this was end up being a pretty massive undertaking. global pandemic sneak global effort more so when you're dealing with viruses that are rapidly mutating. the reason we know what we know today's because scientists have cooperated across many countries patropolis we've been moving increasingly in the direction of research becoming a private affair. determined by competition. and exclusivity the big take out from h r. v was the only massive investment into public health,

which sharing research could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020, this put us in a prime position to collaborate in the numerous international coverage vaccine trials. to have been involved in a whole lot of climate, faxing opportunities in 10, something can employ said. and we need to make sure that even though we do these trials, we have to make sure that we have access to make sure they found to be cases with say, i guess

then does it get better? hey, let's make it. yeah, i. so we have to be committed to the end game. yeah. and the end game is an affordable intervention for the put it feels like a festival. when we started with h, i v, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from person in 20192020, which do that in a matter of weeks. and we can do it 10 times a 100 times faster. and more officially, we have isolated antibodies from cove, it infected people by the hundreds in a few weeks. i think of h i v l a little bit like the nasa space program. it, it brought to bear all kinds of technologies that are bearing fruit in other areas . and one of those areas is emerging viruses like kogan,

the biotech firm, my during a therapeutics announced this morning that the 1st 8 participants in the 1st phase of its cove at 19 back seen trial develops some antibodies after just one single dose. now that's a promising sign from the trial, done in collaboration with the national institutes of health. nations, with vaccine producing capacity pulled billions into the development of covey track seems in return for funding. the manufacturer of vaccines participating drug companies like madonna, were given full intellectual property rights over the finished product. governments have essentially stepped into the risk investment. and in an ideal world, public money should be greater public access. tens

of thousands of volunteers signed up to participate in clinical trials. i to joined one of the trials in the beliefs that my country would gain access to those vaccines that was successful. ah right now we've got the u. s. get his or baby fort fixing in france from 3 of the leading groups that are developing vaccines. so that means our opportunity to gain access to those that since are very limited as an individual country. this was perhaps the 1st sign that things were going astray with south africa's access to vaccines. as a middle income country and one so involved in vaccine development. there was no excuse for us not to have pre purchase supplies for our own population. still,

there would always be kovacs the kovacs pillar aims to ensure that every country gets fair and equitable access to eventual cove at 19 vaccines. it's not about one country versus another. it's about one world, protected. sitting at the center of infectious disease control because tony found chain for decades, he's been behind all the key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. so a bowler, z co sauce, you name it, but his life's work. his passion has sent his around h r v. as in, excuse that an academic priority should ever ever come for the health of the people that you're working with. the question about that,

are they protectors or profiteers of free speech mosque is showing us how vulnerable spaces online truly are when they are controlled by billionaires of lago, documenting facts on the ground. i'm another journalist, people trust individuals, more than the news or a purveyor of the state line. how can you show the destruction of a political war and still be a political unchecked? the media can distort narratives and reshape realities. the listening post keeps watch on al jazeera, the activist radical and the founder of african cinema. out is in the world, tells the story of the more italian direct. but it with his filmmaking style for that he made the breakthrough in sooner. a friend the word to me, his name literally made was a fighter. his weapons were his mind and his intelligence. med honda,

rebel african count, make on how she's in january oh, now to 0 o process is to promote her message of peace and reconciliation. while visiting the democratic republic of congo and sat saddam his 5th visit to africa as head of the catholic church, rigorous debates and unflinching questions. up front, cut through the headlines to challenge conventional wisdom immersive personal show documentaries, africa, direct ciocca is african stories from african filmmakers can public private partnerships. so some of the world's most pressing challenges when government business in civil society to meet for the world economic forum. clinical host, all africa, musical was a celebration of talent and creativity from the corners of the african continent. genuine analogies, sierra. ah,

okay, johnson harrington on the top stories on al jazeera u. s. the house to represent it is, is in a 4th day of voting to choose it. speaker republican nominee kevin mccarthy has failed for the 13th time to win a majority. as a small group of ultra conservative republicans continue to oppose his bid. montana reports from capitol hill. round 12 there was a glimmer of hope for mccarthy in that full t. not the ultra conservative switched and costly a boat in his favor assigned that there was a fracturing in that passion which has been constantly opposed to his voting in as the speaker of the house. but in the next round, he got one more boat. but then there's still some 6 ultra conservatives who are continuing to hold out. and while they do so, it's quite simple. mccarthy cannot get the majority needed to become

a speaker of the house. yet he remains confident that this is going to happen when the house convenes in a few hours time. house democrats have led to commemorations mark in the 2nd anniversary, which are the 6th attack on the u. s. capitol members paid tribute to the officers who kept them safe and remembered the 5 people who died. israel has announced sanctions in the palestinian authority are 5th, pushed the un highest judicial body to give its opinion on the israeli occupation. the decision was taken that the 1st security cabinet meeting of a new government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. artillery fire has been heard in ukraine despite the shuttle start with 36 art unilateral cease, far called by russian president vladimir putin. ukraine rejected the offer while both sides are accusing each other of continuing the shelling attempt truces to coincide with the orthodox christmas holiday. m. 23 rebels have handed back an important military base and east democratic republic of congo. to government forces

is latest, moved by the group to fulfill its pledge to withdraw from territories seized in recent months, protested and peru blocking a major border. crossing with bolivia for a 3rd day supporters of former president edward castillo, and demanding the resignation of his successor dinner. marty $22.00 people died in protest last month that broke out after carstairs arrest on rebellion and conspiracy charges. those here headlines. news continues after we rejoin time of pandemic st. we are all business. even people far away are also helping with the environment. problems in the amazon because their consumers i teach kids about the oceans are facing today. i've been working in earnest, trying to find ways to get to sleep with kids. what do we do as the ocean? why and what are you going to do to keep out of the sort of language that keeps the

red blood women, right? they have one cell back over and i fight for equality and gotten america. and i was told to think that with women, we made a challenge in the region. i will not being pro life. i won't sleep, we don't have read them in study about 2 weeks now, 3 days, journey to a shelter, the west of new grade. so one destroys our country. someone needs to rebuild. awe science, vaccines, healthy justice. i'm trying to find out if the world learned anything from r h i. v. experienced in south africa. for this time of global coven, 19 human societies have long faced the threats of disease. and despite so many

breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic that we struggle to contain. the phoenix, useful than an academic priority should ever ever come before the health of the people that you're working with is a question about that. sitting at the center of infectious disease control is tony found she for decades, he's been behind all for ki interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. ebola zacko sauce. you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered around h r v. why don't you just want to do that? why did you say that? wanted to that you have to play are the most successful vaccines or against diseases in which ultimately the immune system clears the virus. so when you do a vaccine, you design it exactly to act like

a natural infection. don't want to do that with each id because you know, that natural infection doesn't reduce the good immune response. so you gotta do better with ha, ah no matching. some lesson hasn't sommerling his a sort of madison. hi guys. slow by monday, the to me companies go up there. no, ma'am. i they. oh, wonderful pile. i was on for know 7 is a condo moon being land got when i was so. gallivant's. oh, tele medicine and i given i know if i lose some, some is of a positive i was telling you what i could then we didn't in my, in the queue. i known as tucson with

a couple years a previously if visit i would allocate or i would say about it. so total perform. wanna know how much i was willing is just the st angelo mckesson sub, what day? it was the kitchen piano. a vaccine is the agent that women need at the agency. we don't have to worry about applying a chevy because you have something in your body to protect it. as an empowerment tool. with the thought in mind that covered an h i v o. only 2 of the many. so naughty viruses that have jumped into humans. we need to know why in recent decades,

this is happening with increasing occurrence. presently we're being confronted by a new series of pathogens that are emerging out of the deep force and spilling over into human populations. and that seems to be increasing since the start of the century. there's been some brilliant work done by scientists to illuminate the origins of h. i. b. but trees han and her group in 2006, we're able to identify 2 chimp populations in southeastern cameron that were hosting simian immune deficiency viruses that were the closest related to h. i. b,

one a group that followed 2 years later, led by michael or a b, were able to put a date on that spill over event. the event happened in 19 o 8 gifford. take 20 years on either side of that. what was going on in 19 o 8, in this particular spot in southeastern cameras. it was a period of a colonization, and you had the french and germans attempting to subjugate local indigenous groups into a new global economy. the login of central africa is rein force required a large workforce to keep up with the demands for exports from the global north to feed all these workers corporations actually employed paypal mass to hunt down push meet ah

they will probably individual jumps of virus from chimps, the humans because they use it as bush me, a man gets infected. he's out hunting with jim. he gives it to his wife. she gets affected there monogamous. they both get sick. they both die. you don't notice it until you perturbed civilization. it could have happened 50 years ago a 100 years ago, 200 years ago. but it happened with the right constellation of perturbing

society. people are doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society. lead to the spread of infectious disease. 3 st. flat, tory lance can be shifted upon colbert 19, thorns one merge in 2002. it came out of bats and central china and a lot of work since then mapped out all the different types of corona viruses, cross central and southern china. increased

exploitation of landscape increased that spill over events into all sorts of other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market. ah, planted earth is better known now as planet farm. there's a lot of focus on the gps coordinates, the actual spot in which the buyers emerged in the focus that was serving as a means of greenwashing, the broader global local economy. that was in fact, driving the emergence of these new pathogen with we began to look at what or call circuits of capital. our capital moved to one side of the world to the other. we came to the conclusion that places like london and new york,

hong kong which are the centers of capital, are the worst disease hot spots on the planet. in part because as being the source of the capital, driving the deforestation and development from one side of the world to the other, they were serving as the primary causes for the spill over events of pathogens, from wildlife into a lifestyle in humans with . and then one day, a virus jumps from a back to another animal to a human and then now it's not sexual practice. we're unlucky enough to have a virus that spectacularly efficient in spreading from person to person by the respiratory route. and there's not much you can do about that, but as you guys would do in an effort to locking yourselves into your house,

but you can't do that forever. and that's our respiratory infection spreads. every time we have an epidemic that's just an affirmation of our seamless we all have the receptor for the virus and i house but the fuel of viruses density, the fuel virus is close, interpersonal contact people who live in high density. so is disparities of brought out al, magnified in all populations throughout the world. you got to understand the social determinants of health. you know, in the united states with cove it, we have an extraordinary disparity. where is african americans and latinos, x and asian americans. their infection rate and death rate is enormously higher. ah. so when you broaching

a disease, you need to understand that if you don't understand it, you're not gonna get your arms around the disease. well, for many ross, particularly if you're black and poor, he doesn't matter. have you in the global south or living in a wealthy nation? you're hanging on to life by a threat. then these pen tamika come along, covered a charge fee. and the odds against you to stack up. ah

ah, how do we manage an epidemic when we have no support for the poor and we have no support for the sick? and so not only are we going to see people dying from cove at 19 in our country, we're going to see people dying from other diseases like h. harvey and t. b. new york state now has more reported corona virus cases than any country in the world. world wide, it's clear, the public healthcare systems are the last fortress against pandemic, watts at burgess and in the united states, the pioneer privatization coverage is showing up. there. ladies can modify the social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic. it had in effect abandon of public health. the cove at 19 outbreak showed

this in open ah clarity. when the trump administration took over, he ended the pandemic preparation. he divested out of public health. that's in part how we've arrived that this apparent clash between science on the one hand in front on the other. ah, when i catch up with toby found chin. he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs that formed between him and the then president. we were consider the best prepared country for a pin them. but as it turns out, when you get a whopper, like coven 19, you're never as content as you really want to be. so that was the tension that

sort of merged into some political divisiveness in the country. so 28000000 americans are without insurance, even after obamacare. 24000000 margins are under insured. o slots of the country are in essence disconnected out our of our capacity to intervene in their health new. ah, can you tell me i h r v vaccine to get where it is. but with covered with, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than a decade rad. we started at vaccine were in h r, the in 1986 to 7. the amp study.

if it works, if we do get protection, will be the 1st in a multi step process of getting very good protection by passive transport, them definitely worth the investment. particularly among women in south africa who are at such enormous risk of getting, in fact at around the same time as the 1st covey vaccines were gaining emergency approval. early results of the ab trial were released, providing some hope at last foot h r v vaccine. so now i'm going to show you the results of captain. okay. so this shows you that the,

that they infection rate was lower. e, in the, in the treatment arms in the infusion arms, it shows us that the infusion dead were cookies surround, they would say, is that then she a positive, a positive result. very happy is an amazing, amazing, well, this is a legacy to your parents. okay. so by volunteering in this money with the good results coming out of the i'm trial a vaccine that prevents h r v is finally insight. but what will this really mean for the world's poor? who's a vaccine get to the people who need it?

or like covered who, payton be used to limit supplies, ensuring higher profits for a small group of powerful companies. there is growing concern as we end 2020, about why it is taking so long for the country to receive the coven 19 vaccine. the entire world has promised solid guarantee in the beginning of this pandemic. but at the same time, rich country is what already buying up supplies, what we call the advance market commitments, or pre dosages of something that was not checked on the market. 13 percent of the world's population who reside in rich countries had bought up more than half of the world's potential supply of vaccine. this current vaccination is a new, a new to vaccine nationalism they bought for their own countries. in fact, some cases to occur in one cause even 5 times the amount that's required for the

population gentle do any comes to other vaccines that their premium to use into public immunization programs against life threatening diseases they can, can, to 20 years before those vaccines become available in low income countries compared to indian could you can high income countries. this is where we were with the h. i. v. pandemic. 8 years after the therapeutics were available in the west. we have not received them and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again. we have no access to vaccines. and we will let down the garden pass. okay, we got to december believing that the whole world was coming together to purchase

vaccines. not knowing that we had been curled into a little corner, whilst others ran off and secured the supplies. it was deliberate. those with the resources pushed their way to the front of the queue and took control of their production assets. the same thing they paid out in h i v aids. if you rely on charity and if you rely only on the benevolence on the pharmaceutical industry, you won't secure nothing. and in hindsight, to take such a risk, to pack a whole nation's health and welfare on charity, it seems crazy to me, especially as we know that some parents are causing worldwide concern because of their ability to dodge antibodies. surely the safe thing to do would be to flood

the world with vaccines to get the virus less room to mutate. viruses do not mutate unless they are allowed to replicate and spread. if you prevent the virus from spreading, it will not you take and you will not get another very using the idea of this being a gigantic clinical trial. dr. glenda gray and professor larry curry, organize a shipment of 500000 vaccines into south africa. that would work against the varied dominant at the time. i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospitals. long, long, long, long, day, and long a long, 14 days. hopefully we'll be able to fix needs half a 1000000 healthy, which is the we then get the vaccine to them that before the 3rd wave,

their game to be burned. time is this going to be misery? we have millions of immunosuppressed people in our country and these millions are potential ways of was for variance of concern . africa becomes the cesspool of variance of concern, and we don't have vaccines. and so i think that this going to get worse and worse throughout africa. we have seen that wherever h i v became endemic. so did tuberculosis. the waves of infectious diseases are influencing each other. at the same time, the higher the burden of disease, the more public health systems get on to mind. then because we

can't care for our sick, we are threatened by dead li mutations that one day may not be able to respond to our vaccines at all. this is a vicious circle, playing out in our life time with deadly consequences for the entire whoa. the peyton said prevented people getting h i v medicine was devastating for the global south. the failure to learn this with covered has it my view be nothing less than a crime against humanity. it's some be capitalism marching us towards our mutual destruction. surely it's time we finally break our dependency on the pharmaceutical companies as we began to do, sir 20 years ago with
