Paired with the U.S. withdrawal from the WHO, the Administration's decision to opt out of the Covax Facility will extend the life of #COVID19 globally, increase the death count and cost the world more money.
Our full statement: one.org/us/press/covax/
News: The Trump administration will not join a global effort to develop, manufacture and equitably distribute a coronavirus vaccine, in part because the World Health Organization is involved. Details on the Covax decision from @yabutaleb7 and me.

❤️ to Gordon from our DC team for today's quote:
"When we study the biographies of our heroes, we learn that they spent years in preparation doing tiny, decent things before one historical moment propelled them to center stage." -Danusha Veronica Goska

In the words of one Kentucky pastor: “Our collective fates against this ugly and unprecedented virus are woven tightly together.” That’s why we need Senate leaders like @senatemajldr to prioritize a robust global response to defeat #COVID19. apnews.com/0f60860597df0e689…

THIS IS HUGE:
Today, global health leaders rallied together to announce a massive global health play — the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-Accelerator) — to help defeat this pandemic. Here's a quick #thread on why it matters.
The Access to #COVID19 Tools Accelerator (ACT-Accelerator) brings together governments, health organizations, scientists, businesses, civil society & philanthropists who have joined forces to speed up an end to the pandemic bit.ly/3i6tzx2

The US-UK “special relationship” often extends to development with @USAID & @DFID_UK working together to combat big problems that plague the world’s poorest. Today’s decision to scrap DFID, which appears to be rooted in politics, not prudence, is a step in the wrong direction.
For decades, the UK – through @DFID_UK – has provided critical global leadership & has saved millions of lives. Scrapping this world class institution now – during a global pandemic that demands a global response - is perplexing at best and at worst a dangerous step backwards.
In order to defeat #COVID19, we must have an equitable response & vaccine says @ONECampaign CEO @GayleSmith. “To succeed you can’t have the virus running rampant in other countries. A fragmented approach will take us longer to come out of this pandemic.” ft.com/content/6d542894-6483…

Have you ever played #Catan? 🎲We found it super useful to explain why a Covid-19 vaccine needs to be accessible to everyone, everywhere. #WorldImmunizationWeek

Some good news this week → the #G20 has agreed to suspend debt payments for the world’s poorest countries. This is a major step in fighting COVID-19 worldwide.
But as we head into #WorldImmunizationWeek, here is what you need to know from a few familiar ONE faces. #ONEWorld

BREAKING: The #G20 have agreed to suspend debt repayments for the 76 poorest countries for the rest of 2020. We joined many other orgs in calling for this suspension. Our ED for Global Policy @David_McNair explains why this is so important.
