The life-saving vaccine is politicized by American politicians (Observatory)
According to US media reports, the White House recently stated that "the United States will not cooperate with a global organization that develops and distributes vaccines" because it "is unwilling to be bound by multilateral organizations such as the WHO."
The unscrupulous attitude of the U.S. government by publicly denying international cooperation is astounding.
In fact, since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the United States has been making a big fuss about the vaccine issue.
Compete for priority and even exclusive rights for vaccine development and supply.
In March of this year, the US government tried to buy out the vaccine research and development technology of a German biotechnology company, but European countries resisted.
In July, the US Department of Health stated that it had ordered 100 million doses of vaccines from two global pharmaceutical giants for Americans to inject.
In August, US media broke the news that the US is trying to "poach" vaccine research experts from Russia.
Undermine international cooperation in vaccines.
In May of this year, the United States was absent from the Global Vaccine Summit and refused to contribute to the promotion of global vaccine development, production and fair distribution.
In July, the United States officially announced its withdrawal from the WHO.
Recently, the United States has refused to participate in the "New Crown Vaccine Global Supply Plan" by WHO and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization.
Discrimination of vaccine research and development in other countries.
US Secretary of State Pompeo disregarded the facts and accused China of "stealing" American vaccine research results.
Republican U.S. Senator Scott also claimed that China is trying to disrupt or delay the development of a new crown vaccine in Western countries.
Some foreign media argued that China leads the world in vaccine research and development, so there is no need for this.
For a period of time, some American politicians have intensified their efforts to politicize the vaccine issue, which has attracted widespread criticism from international public opinion.
The British "Guardian" stated that "America First" will slow down the global new crown vaccine development process.
The director of the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, John Kengsson, said that competition for vaccines in certain countries will greatly reduce the vaccine stocks available to vulnerable groups in poor countries.
To politicize vaccines, does the US government’s “vaccine egoism” really “benefits” the American people?
Let's look at another example.
According to the British "Financial Times" report, the U.S. government is planning to bypass the necessary procedures and launch the vaccine before the election through emergency authorization.
Polls show that most Americans believe that the approval of the new crown vaccine will be politicized.
Obviously, some American politicians, in order to pursue their own political interests, violate the laws of science, and do not hesitate to forget about the safety and health of the American people.
At present, human beings are racing against the new crown virus, and vaccines are the key to defeating the virus. As a developed country with the most advanced technology and medical level, the U.S. government should show responsibility in the process of vaccine development, production and distribution. However, the United States is blindly "pulling out vaccines to promote" domestically, exerting political pressure on normal vaccine research and development; internationally, it insists on "America first", digging out the walls of other countries, and tearing down international cooperation. These actions by the U.S. government not only do not benefit its domestic epidemic prevention, but also severely undermine the overall global anti-epidemic situation.
