the ma global health and finance agencies have told world leaders they should share vaccine doses or risk prolonging the pandemic. the heads of the world health organizationnternational monetary fund, and world bank, say we are at a perilous point. they have appealed for a $50 billion investment fund to end the pandemic. let's hear from the head of the world health organization. >> we have the means to end this pandemic quickly and save countless lives and livelihoods, but we need the will to make it happen. they say where there is a will, there is a way. we know the way. the question is, do we have the will? >> we have also heard from the imf, international monetary fund. >> we are deeply concerned because an increasingly two track pandemic is causing a two track economic recovery with negative consequences for all countries. our data sho, in the near term, vaccinating the world is the most effective way to boost global output. in other words, vaccine policy is economic policy. >> one of the criticisms leveled at rich countries is that low income nations have received less than 1% of vaccines administered so far. there is a global scheme to share vaccine

so that partnership between the world health organization and the china beholden tech platforms in this continued until just a few days ago. that is when the bureaucrats of the world health organization published new vaccine guidance. here is what it says. children should not take the coronavirus vaccine. why? because the drugs are too dangerous. there is not nearly enough data to understand the long-term effects or to show that the benefits of the drugs are worth the risks they bring. this is terrible news, of course for the pharmaceutical industry. it is deeply embarrassing for much of the american news media, which has taken a quick break. and above all is a shocking repudiation of the american health establishment, who has been relentlessly pushing universal vaccination, including four children. here for example is biden's top coronavirus advisor's manual telling us that young people should be required to get the shot. watch. >> there are clearly places where you are congregating people that we should have mandates. students in universities, my university for example. faculty and st

young people follow similar calls from the world health organization, both once welfare nations to reconsider vaccinating lower risk. young adults, when many countries are still struggling to get supplies, the head of the w h o is also pushing for additional funding to buy more vaccines for puerto nations. to morrow, callbacks call led by god. we said p and jo, alongside key implementation partner units f ames to raise critical new funds at its m. c summit to further diversify its portfolio and buy additional vaccines for low and lower middle income countries. fully financing callbacks and act is key to ending the increasingly to track funding me. and i time for the government of japan for hosting the mc summit. among those seeking more vaccines are sophie's asian countries, which are bringing back restrictions amid a reco surge in malaysia, a 2 week nationwide. total lockdown has come into effect and vietnam has suspended all international flights. and it's a similar story in latin america, which is expecting infections to continue to rise. that says leaders assess the damage which is alread

not only did this pandemic start in china but the world health organization acted as a willing pawn of the chinese government to cover up this virus and hide it from the world. after taking office, one of president biden's first actions was rejoining the world health organization at taxpayers' expense, without requiring a single reform to its corrupt culture. time and time again, president biden has failed to hold the chinese communist party accountable. now, this congress must act. last year, the china task force developed more than 400 commonsense solutions to counter the chinese communist party's threat to our haegs, our -- to our health, our economy, and our way of life. we can start by implementing these legislative solutions and restoring america's leadership in the 21st century innovation. as a congress, we also should build upon the china task force investigation into the covid-19 pandemic origin, including whether the virus was engineered at the wuhan lab. why delay? how many more americans will need to be infected before we say enough? as my friend, leader mccarthy, has outli

new in this, our russian sputnik v cobra vaccine is under the microscope of the world health organization inspections of manufacturing sites have discovered violations of the facility in the russian city of mover, which is about 1400 kilometers east of moscow. the w h. i was so far inspected for sites out of 7 and comes off, the russia replied to registers. sputnik v in europe. right across the forest is correspondent alia. it's frank haile. one of the findings here, calling hi. so out of the 7 existing sputnik, the factories for which is more than a half have been inspected by the officials of the world health organization. and there were only complaints about one single production facility. in far, there were a total of 6 which included issues with data and test results and also things like lab conditions. but now, according to the officials in moscow, all these concerns and issues have been addressed and dealt with jamie, as indeed there had been complaints from the inspection team. as far as we know, everything has already been taken into account and what needed to be changed has alre

he has close ties to china and the world health organization. and of course, he praises dr. fauci after dr. fauci throws cold water on the whole lab theory. after dr. fauci has approved american tax dollars going to his organization eco-health. how convenient for everyone. and so they downplay it even though you have people in real time saying it was a real possibility that this virus started from a lab leak in wuhan, china. they downplay all of that. so you are exactly right. i hope file she comes back so we can ask him some poignant questions about what he knew and when this started. it raises all these questions, sean here why are we sending money to a lab in china in the first place and why is joe biden putting his back into the world health organization? >> sean: and why are we funding them? >> sean, one of the other things is some of the testimony that dr. fauci gave just the other day before the senate, it's not called into question. when he is suggesting that there was no gain of function research that was paid for, that they said don't do it, they got a confirmation

concerns about the delta variant have prompted los angeles county health officials and the world health organization to recommend everyone wear a mask indoors. kron four's. dan kerman has been in touch with state and bay area health officials to see if any changes are going to be planned. >> la county health officials are now recommending even those vaccinated wear a mask indoors. but they area. health officials say the science and data doesn't support a change here since the reopening of the state june 15th. >> we continue to have very low cases of covid-19 at the sir. john, we're medium size county at this surge. we're seeing 60 cases a day. we're currently seeing around 3 cases a day of covid-19. >> marin county says those low case rates are due to the fact that 90% of its eligible residents have received at least one dose of the covid-19 vaccine and marin county is not alone. in fact, all 9 bay area counties are sticking with state and cdc guidance as it relates asking those who are vaccinated don't need to wear a mask. >> and those who are on vaccine. you should continue to mask ucsf infectious

los angeles, county's mask for all recommendation is similar to one issued friday by the world health organizationt members of the white house covid response team point out that unlike the cdc, the world health organization must take a broader approach when making recommendations. >> there are different levels of vaccination rates in different parts of the world. they're different rates of virus spread and in different parts of the world. and so world health organization is really looking at this from that perspective. >> so for now, no changes in the 9 bay area counties or from the state department of public health. they say they'll continue to keep an eye on the k street, the delta variant and if the science supports it, then changes could come. but for now, no reason to make any changes in those masking recommendations live in san francisco. dan kerman kron 4 news. fair enough. thank you, dan. now we're taking a live look at the lava fire burning in the shasta trinity national forest. >> the latest numbers showinr the fire has now burned more than 13,000 acres since it was started by lightning

we're clearly not there yet with the world health organization. >> but if you leave organizations to one side and think about international leadership from individual countries, then presumably that leadership should come from countries that are producing vaccines, as well, that are taking the lead in trying to combat this virus. and that would include china. that would include russia. that would include india. are you saying would you be happy the chinese or indeed the russians decided they wanted to take the lead on a global stage in combating this pandemic? >> well, we know what we did in the united states coming up with vaccines that are highly, highly effective. and we know that from the testing that is done. we have we have a couple, two three. doses, and another one does. effectiveness much higher than any of us could have hoped or wished or dreamed. and certainly other countries are going to try to do that. we know china is doing that their model is that it is the nations who will then become our friends, places who might be lower on the list of when they would get vaccines,

some headway is definitely being made across europe at the same cannot be said for the world health organization. kovak scheme, but very much relies upon donations from wealthy countries. many of them here are the european union that have reserved surface doses. so the message from the, the powers that be in europe is the more needs to be done, echoing very much the world health organizations, key message, the one all safe, until everyone's had a vaccine. there is one snag though that could influence or undermine how willing these countries are to donate that dose is. and that's based upon data coming from here in the u. k. not any, you know, i hastened to add that has been some suggestion that the indian variant is doubling very, very quickly among 10 to 14 year old. we've known for some time young since don't get serious the ill as a result of carrying a virus, but they can very well transmitted to wider population. we know also the vaccines have an impact on reducing the transmission of the virus as well. so that may well influence countries to hold onto that doses and potentially vaccinate y

support from the world health organization. the world would also be damage and united states could lose influence over health initiatives. the world health organization is not a perfect organization. not even close. but pulling america out without presenting a better solution left our nation once a respected global leader absent from all discussions. today, worldwide coronavirus deaths set to 3 million. the early failure of the trump administration to react and lead led to other country. under current projections, many of the rest will have to wait years. joining me now is thomas thomas bollyky. thomas, you and i have talked about this many times and we have been talking since the beginning of this crisis, this global part of it has been ignored. there is a me too phenomenon that's going on. >> that's right, i am sorry to say that the united states under go the trump administration pioneered a me first approach vaccine distribution. we prioritize our own supply at home and investing only domestically and ensuring supplies would

the world health organization has said that a of the tank countries report in the current of virus high mortality rates. in the last week, we're in the americas and the latin american arm of the world health organization said just a week and a half ago. the only 3 percent of latin americans had received back to nation. so it's a really low amount of the population. actually here in mexico, we're probably one of the best or off countries at the moment that the countries just started vaccinating people from 40 to 50. and it's hope that in july they'll start on people that are under 40, but that's a real sort of abnormality in terms of the region and the world health organization . things that says things are turning in the wrong direction for the pandemic. so peru has the worst deaf right now in the world, according to the johns hopkins university, but things are looking pretty bad for the rest of the region in general. absolutely . and so it's even more surprising, john, that in light of the situation in latin america, that corporate america football championship is going to go ahead. no

the world health organization, and many scientists agreed with this theory. even though there are still a lot of lingering questions. when former president donald trump talked about the possibility of an accident, at the han institute of urology, it was generally dismissed as a conspiracy theory changed with racism. but now president joe biden is asking his intelligence agencies to look into that very possibility. and china says, washington is now just playing politics. so how do we responsibly investigate the origins of cove it without political blinders? today we're speaking with dr. gigi gronvold, in immunology at the johns hopkins center for health security, and the author of synthetic biology, safety, security, and promise. she's a member of the threat reduction advisory committee, which advises the defense department on how to reduce the risk of nuclear, biological, chemical, and conventional threats. and jeannie metal, who writes about the future of technology, health care and geo politics. and he's the author of a great book, hacking darwin, genetic e

state department and another by the world health organization. >> we need to know the origin of thisned to uncover the truth. could this novel coronavirus come from the dark side of mother nature or from a lab? and if it did come from a lab, was it an accident or could it have been an engineered bioweapon? >> that deadly coronavirus now grows, spreading from wuhan, china. >> a city of 11 million people, home to several large wildlife markets, potential breeding grounds for viruses. but wuhan is also home to one of the leading laboratories in the world studying bat coronaviruses. and from early on, that had people wondering. >> there is a famous quote in the movie "casablanca." the towns of the world, she all- walks into mine. >> so of all the places in the world where there could be a natural outbreak in the wild, what are the chances that that would not just happen in wuhan collection of bat coronaviruses? >> this is such a political topic. it's so charged. it's a giant puzzle. and like, you know, 95% of the pieces are missing. >> reporter: the evidence we do have is both circumstan

first people were who got infected and three of the four never went to a wet lab in the world health organizationublications on the virus. they intentionally misled the world and we spent all this money, trump was right to pull out of the world health organization and it is a shame that president biden jumped back in. >> here is what state department official david asher said about the bio weapons program. >> deliberately working on developing the capability to use advanced pathogenic capabilities in a way that no one has seen ever employed, that is what the chinese have been talking about publicly. >> is the idea the covid was some sort of biological weapon being seriously considered? >> it is by republicans and that is something we have been questioning for many months and democrats again refused to hold any hearings. this hearing today was put on by republicans. we are not supposed to host hearings because we are in the minority. we have been calling on the democrats to hold a hearing on the origination of covid for months now and they refused to do anything so we took matters into our own han

the world health organization kept that out of their initial publications on the virus, they intentionallyled the world. he spent all this money, trump was right to pull out of the world health organization, it's a shame that joe biden jumped back in. >> judge jeanine: here's what former state officials said during the hearing about china's bio weapons program. >> where they deliberately working on developing the capability to advance genetic capabilities of war? in a way that no one scene ever employed? of course they were. that's what they've been talking about publicly. >> judge jeanine: is the idea that covid was some sort of biological weapon being seriously considered? >> it is by republicans. it's something we've been questioning for many months now. at the democrats again refused to hold any hearings. we are really not support to hold hearings because we're in the minority. we've been calling on democrats to hold hearings on the origin nation of covid for months now, and they refute his do anything. i think we had the most productive hearing, all congress, the evidence is overwhelm

the world health organization has said eight of the 10 countries reporting the coronavirus' highest mortality rates this last week were in the americas, and the let american arm of the world health organization said 1.5 weeks ago only 3% of latin americans had received vaccinations. so that is a really low amount of the population. here in mexico we are probably one of the better off countries. at the moment the country has just started vaccinating people from 40 to 50 and it is hoped that in july they will start on people that are under 40. with that is a real abnormality in terms of the region. the world health organization says things are turning in the wrong direction for the pandemic. so peru has the worst death rate now in the world according to the johns hopkins university, but things are looking pretty bad for the rest of the region in general. barbara: absolutely. it is even more surprising that in light of the situation in latin america, the football championship is going to go ahead. it was moved from argentina, but again perhaps surprisingly, it is being moved to brazil, which is

a new warning from the world health organization. they are calling the delta variant of covid-19 the most contagious version of the virus so far. >> we starting to see increases in transmission around the world. more cases means more hospitalizations. further stretching health and health systems which increases their of death. >> we're also seeing the variant pop up in certain populations in the u.s. if you're fully vaccinated, though doctors say you shouldn't be that concerned. they say the vaccines cover the very contagious delta, very quite well and very few vaccinated people will end up being infected with that variant. but they say if you're unvaccinated, your risk is quite high and there are regions across the country with low vaccination rates that could soon see the delta variant spread rapidly. >> the variance for the fact those people who are susceptible to it and that's the people who are it is going to be pockets around the united states. and there are several states primarily in the self also was are few others way and a

so the pan american health organization, the regional brought to the world health organization cooling on the united states on europe, to make sure more vaccines gets so latin america, more people get vaccinated and much, much quicker than they have been up until now. many times that, daniel, why know that 1st and one is aries or moscow has registered and you records the coven, 19 of infections. the 2nd day running more than 9000 cases were recorded in the last 24 hours. most goes may s, as the surge is being driven by the contagious delta variance 1st identified in india, restrictions including a ban on large gatherings, have been extended in the city and a boiler outbreak which started in se guinea in february has been declared over by the health ministry on the world health organization. 16 people were infected. 12 of them died during the outbreak in guinea, 2nd largest city, or the health ministry vaccinated 11000 people to contain the virus, which causes severe bleeding and organ failure. if we look back, could be about an outbreak from 2014 to 2016 that killed more than 11000 peo

now the world health organization has said that variant is highly contagious and more severe than somenow, world health organization is saying that the covid-19 delta variant accounts for 20% of all new cases in the u.s., twice as many as just last week. so in response to the prevalence of this new variant and fear of continued spread, both the world health organization as well as l.a. county are reiterating the original recommendation of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of the virus. this was for everyone regardless of vaccination status. just this morning, the "today" show savannah guthrie sat down with dr. rochelle walensky to discuss not only the delta variant but the centers for disease control stance on wearing a mask. take a listen. >> those masking policies are not to protect the naiptsds they're to protect the unvaccinated. >> bottom line in all that context is quite helpful but the bottom line the cdc still says if you are vaccinated, you don't have to wear a mask? >> that's exactly right. what i would say in that context fizz you're vaccinated you are safe from the varia

for joining us, the world health organization has warned most countries receiving over 900 vaccine through a global sharing scheme don't have enough doses to continue their vaccination programs. the w h o says of the 800 nations targeted under the kovak scheme. more than half are facing shortages, while some have completely run out to setting up a how been south africa to allow developing nations to make their own vaccine. the could be 19 funding because shown that relying on a few companies to supply global public goods is limiting and dangerous to boost manufacturing. w 2 has continued to call for the sharing of know how technology and licenses and the waving of intellectual property rights and cuba has released promising data on the 2nd 5 covey. 19 vaccines that it's working on its health. when is 3 says the job is 92 percent effective after 3 doses. now, one country making slow progress is the philippines and now it's president rodrigo to take a is threatening to jail, people who refused to be vaccinated. let's go live to our correspondent in manila jamila linda then, jeremy les, why a
