Tedros argues that “equitable vaccine exchange is the fastest way to reach high-risk communities, stabilize fitness systems, and drive a real global economic recovery. “

In his recorded statements from Beijing to the United Nations General Assembly last month, Chinese President Xi Jinping said that any attempt to politicize the pandemic is rejected and that WHO plays a leading role in the foreign reaction to coronavirus.
Tedros said that as the virus spreads in Europe and other parts of the world, “by sharing important fitness products around the world, adding non-public protective equipment, oxygen supplies, dexamethasone and vaccines when proven to be effective, we can save lives. “and go through this pandemic. “
