animals 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 on to 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 with disease. despite so many breakthroughs in modern medicine, we find ourselves living under the shadow of pandemic. so we struggle to content we have destroyed our by that we have harmed the plant and the planet will eat. so if our expense at the expense of these global markets, 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 r v the h i v experience taught us a lot about science, vaccines and healthy justice, but when it comes to cov 90, 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 a 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 learned 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 bmw the people who are most affected by h r. v was somehow narrow down to the poor h's. according to the u. s. center for disease control in the 1980s. these were homosexuals, patient's parent, alex, and whom affiliate or we were told, the virus originated enough, 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. we were gonna fix the subject matter if so arb seen pho 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 regard. normally, where ever gone to solving 1978 representatives of 134 countries, 67 international organizations. and i've also asked a chess 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 the cause aids? the question is, does a virus cause and syndrome? how does a virus cause a syndrome? it gone in the 19 ninety's and becky had argued

against the science and was deeply skeptical of anti retroviral drugs. well enough, forgotten. his argument was a h r. v was part of a continuing conspiracy against africans. treatment of aids was declared near impossible, impractical and not cost effective. dod, i'm blue haired on deep the nihilism and lame. he was so adamant about her toxic intervals 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 children had been infected with h. i v 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 ronnie. hi, because richard nations had the 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 aren't 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 injury is somebody who was raped could access allergies, 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. the

face of us dog does doesn't lie with science. the failure of not treating a chevy lies and in the political will of all a government to cheat this it was a difficult time it to the power of the people through the treatment action campaign to make a our retreat. not the reality. we demanding that i know to swear to our last dominion as well as problem. becky, tried to deny the existence of treatment action campaign put up the entire miserable effect of aids, right in the space. it

is devastating families and community or wyoming and getting health care services and robin school. oh, both your dental and vision. in the course of a few years, the treatment action campaign i did 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 onset by championing their charitable efforts. the 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 or miraculous medicines, no person should have to hear those words.

the programs be headed by doctor and to me found she it benefited from the decision one of the major companies to drop their peyton'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 will will. and i'm at the time in the ninety's. there are 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 good. it was,

it was me . me the of the this by having one of the largest into politics 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 shabby 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. if i get a bit emotional when i'm, when i'm talking about h i v was my mother, my father, my uncle's, everyone. so we suffered a lot when i lost my parents, of course for the ha, how do you owe us health? mister lucas was one. it's, well, we are 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 until i 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 appears to be

prevented. glenda gray is leading an international collaboration to find at 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 u. s. government. vaccines had been left to the development by pharmaceutical companies, bailey essence, with the side. what vaccines they were gonna investigate and the reality is,

is that that often is the balance between their perceived market and societal need . in h i v, it was a huge the sale the need. there is an enormous amount of infection in the under developed world. and the non pharmaceutical market world so you saw very rapid dropout rapid this 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 wonder 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 seo. why 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 santa by from the time

and when that was done several laps found and were actually able to make in the lab protein. the antibody protein that was able to kill block each very pop recommend in the amp study. we're not giving a vaccine. we're actually giving the antibody protein itself. if a person at an individual had those air bodies before they were actually exposed, it could be completely prevented from exception. so we're almost taking a step beyond a vaccine. we're skipping a step 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 i deep. what a wonderful story, what a, what a while in their fall 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 down 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. the sharing research

could contain a deadly pandemic. in 2020 this put us in a prime position to collaborate and numerous international coverage vaccine troubles to have been involved in a whole lot of covet vaccine opportunities in tend to think technically 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 i guess. then does it get better? hey,

just make it. yeah. i so we have to be committed to the end game. yeah. and end game is an affordable intervention for the poor. and it feels like a festival. when we started with h, i v, it was very difficult to isolate an antibody from person in 20192020. we can do that in a matter of weeks, and we can do it 10 times a 100 times faster and more efficiently. we have isolated antibodies from cove, it infected people by the hundreds in a few weeks. i think of h, i v 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, modernity therapeutics announced this morning that the 1st 8 participants in the

1st phase of its cobit 19 vaccine 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 manufacture vaccines. participating drug companies like madonna were given full intellectual property rights over the finished product. government have essentially stepped into the risk investment and it 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 of my country would gain access to those vaccines that was successful. ah, by now we've got the us get his or baby fort fixing in france from 3 of the leading groups that are developing vix. yes. 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 purchased supplies for our own population. still, there would always be callbacks. 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 is tony found she for decades, he's been behind all the key interventions that have prevented outbreaks from becoming global pandemic. a bowler, z co sauce, you name it, but his life's work. his passion has centered 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 a little worried about that good

the natural infection. does it reduce the good immune response? so you gotta do better with ha, ha. now managing some less than killing sommerling. he's a sort of madison. hi guys. slow by monday, the to me companies go appear, know a man mother whom windowsill pile i was on for. no said his is a condo moon being land got when i was so gallivant. oh tele medicine and i given i know why there was some, some is of a positive. yeah. was he had any boy, hey, good thing. we didn't on my, in the q i known as tucson with a couple of even a previously it visit. i would advocate 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 kids and peter and you this is the agent that woman need. it's 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. or only 2 of the many zonati 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 were 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 of that follow 2 years layer 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 bad. what was going on in 19 o 8, in this particular spot in south eastern camera, it was a period of a colonization. and you had the french and germans attempting to subjugate a local indigenous groups into a new global economy. the login of central africa is rain for us, 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, which in he gives it to his wife. she gets infected. they're monogamous. they both get sick. they both die. you don't notice 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's got doing trucking. they stay away from home. just the normal practices of your society, lead to the spread of infectious disease. ah, the same flattery, lance can be shifted upon colbert 19 miss thorns one emerged 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 crossed central and southern china. increased exploitation. the landscape increased that spill over events into all sorts of

other species that are suddenly finding themselves being sold at market ah, planted heard is better known now as planet farm. there's a lot of focus on the gps coordinates, the actual spot in which the virus emerged in the focus that was serving as a means of greenwashing, the broader global radical economy. that was in fact driving the emergence of these new pathogen. we began to look at what are called circuits of capital, how our capital moods on 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 hotspots 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 debt to another animal to be 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 so a 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 her nose. but the fuel of the virus is density. the fuel virus is close. interpersonal contact. people who live in high density so these disparities brought out well magnified in all populations throughout the world. you got to understand the social determinants of health. you know, in the united states with cove that 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. which for many ross, particularly if you're black and poor, he doesn't matter if you're in the global south or living in a wealthy nation, you're hanging on to life by a threat. then these pan tamika come along, covered i chart, v and the o it's 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 burton and in the united states, the pioneer of privatization coverage showing up their ladies to come modify the social right to house the u. s. was now prepared for this pandemic. it had in effect, abandoned up public health of the cove at 19 outbreak. show 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 trump, on the other. ah, when i catch up with tony found chin, he remains diplomatic about the deep riffs that fold 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, light cove, it 19, you're never as prepared as you really want to be. so that was the tension that sort of merged into some political divisiveness in the country

of 28000000 americans are without insurance, even after obamacare. 24000000 americans are under insured. o slots of the country are in essence disconnected out our of our capacity to intervene in their health enroll. ah, and he told me i h r v vaccine to get where it is. but with cover it was, we're looking at the end of this year. well, it's been more than a decade rad. we started that vaccine. we're in nature, the 1986 to 7. the amps study. if it works, if we do get protection, will be the 1st in

a multi step process of getting very good protection by pairs of transmitted in. definitely worth the investment. particularly among women in south africa who were at such enormous risk of getting infected 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 i lost foot h r v vaccine. and now i'm going to show you the results of capital. 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, easy, that then she a positive, a positive result. very happy, isn't it amazing, amazing. well, this is the legacy t o parents. okay, so by volunteering and study them 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 hard profits for a small group of powerful companies. there is a growing concerned, as we end 2020, about why it is taking so long for the country to receive the cove at 19 vaccine. the entire world has promised solid guarantee at the beginning of this pandemic. but at the same time rich countries, what already buying up supplies, what we call the advance market commitment, 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 wells potential supply of vaccine. this current vaccine nation is a new, a new to vaccine nationalism they bought for their own countries. in fact, some cases, 2 or 3 and one, because even 5 times the amount that's required for the population general, do any comes to other vaccines at 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 had not received them and we lost 10000000 people. is the old movie again. we have no access to vaccines. and we were led 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 age of 8. if you rely on charity and if you rely only on the benevolence of 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 at york seems crazy to me. especially as we know that some variance 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, i'm professor larry curry. organize a shipment of 500000 vaccines into south africa. that would work against the verite dominant at the time, i'm beginning to overwhelm our hospitals. long day, long, long, long, day, and long a long, 14 days. hopefully we'll be able to fix needs, half a 1000000 healthcare is that 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 the mind. then because we

can't care for our sick, we are threatened by deadly 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. what devastating for the global south? the failure to learn this with cover it has in 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 h i v drugs. so

what her society learnt from this time of pandemic that we have encroached upon nature to the extent that now it's only a matter of time before we face another threat. that seems clear enough. but what about the more difficult issue of how prepared we are for what to come cove, it has revealed that our count approach to public health is simply not working. maybe this is our last chance to go back to it all the path. we once traveled. health as a basic right? not letting the market determine who gets access to innovation. not treating the global south as a charity case and turning us into
