Within days, the World Health Organization will receive a torrent of pledges to provide support for its plan to provide "Covid-19" vaccines for everyone, but it has already become forced to reduce its ambitions and return its accounts with the determination of governments to follow their own plans.
This comes as the data showed 5.24 million cases of infection, and 831,827 deaths from Corona in the world, including more than 180,000 cases in the United States.
In detail, the United States, Japan, Britain and the European Union concluded their own deals to secure millions of doses of "Covid-19" vaccines for their citizens, ignoring a warning from the United Nations Health Organization that a national approach with regard to the vaccine will cause a scarcity of supplies.
Experts warn that other countries capable of adopting the same approach will result in the failure to apply the WHO strategy to combat the emerging "Corona" virus emerging globally, in a fair manner.
"If that happens, it is very clear that there will not be sufficient quantities of the vaccine available for any other country, especially during the six or nine months," said Alex Harris, head of global policy at the health charity Wellcome Trust.
Countries wishing to participate in the WHO (Kovacs) initiative must submit evidence of their desire to do so by Monday.
More than 170 countries, including Canada, Norway, South Korea and Britain, provided evidence of their desire to participate, but not binding, in the initiative that the organization describes as the only one in the world that guarantees the availability of "Covid-19" vaccines to rich and poor countries alike. .
The organization registered nine potential vaccines to prevent the disease, and developed plans to obtain two billion doses, and to distribute them by the end of 2021 to all participating countries.
However, the organization is facing problems in persuading the rich countries to participate fully, and to commit to beyond the limits of making promises of funding and sweet talk about donating more vaccines than they need.
Last week, the Director-General of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, criticized countries trying to monopolize the vaccine, warning that this strategy would exacerbate the pandemic. In a final call to rally support before the deadline on Monday, he wrote letters to member states urging them to participate.
A European Commission spokeswoman told «Reuters» that the Commission is «fully committed» to the success of «Kovacs», despite entering into parallel talks with vaccine manufacturers to provide agglomeration with doses.
Britain said it supports Kovacs to ensure fair access to vaccines in the world, including funding, at a time when it concludes its own bilateral agreements to supply them with vaccines.
The White House has not yet commented on the situation. The United States did not participate in the launch of the program in April, nor in an event to raise funds in May.
A senior European government official explained the dilemma facing the rich countries, asking: How can we support the provision of vaccines to developing countries at a time when there may not be enough for your people? He added that diverting resources abroad is something "difficult to convince people at home."

Study: Blood thinners increase the chances of survival from "Covid-19"
A recent study revealed that blood thinners can clearly reduce the risk of death from infection with the emerging coronavirus.
The study, conducted by American doctors and published in the "Journal of the American College of Cardiology", showed that treatment with blood transfusions - taking into account the patient's condition - is associated with a 50% lower death rate, and the risk of artificial respiration decreases by about 30%.
The research team, led by Valentin Foster of Mount Sinai Hospital in New York, conducted the study on about 4,400 patients.
"As a doctor who has treated (Covid-19) patients on the front lines, I know how important it is to get answers about the best treatment for these patients," Anuradha Lala, a participant in the preparation of the study, said in a statement to the hospital. New York ■ DBA
