The U.N. Secretary-General warned Wednesday the coronavirus pandemic is “out of control,” and he called for global solidarity in making a future vaccine affordable and available to all.

“The virus is the No. 1 global security threat in our world today,” António Guterres told reporters.

There have been nearly 30 million confirmed cases worldwide of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, and more than 936,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University, which tracks global data on the virus. […]

As scientists around the globe race to find an effective COVID-19 vaccine, Guterres cautioned that “there is no panacea” for the pandemic.

“A vaccine alone cannot solve this crisis, certainly not in the near term,” he said. “We need to massively expand new and existing tools that can respond to new cases and provide vital treatment to suppress transmission and save lives, especially over the next 12 months.”

He emphasized that a vaccine must be affordable and available to all, saying it must be seen as a “global public good.” He expressed concern that conspiracy theories and misinformation are spreading about a future vaccine, which could deter vast numbers of people from being inoculated. …

Isn’t it interesting that those most concerned about the over population of the planet, as they continually proclaim, want an affordable vaccine available for every one. What’s wrong with that picture?

Doublethink. Says a lot about what they want out of the vaccine too, when the Party stays Malthusian.

When these NWO globalists start throwing around terms like “global public good”, it’s beyond time to kick them off continental soil.......I swear, these bastards just can’t take a hint and let it go. It’s like global governance is encoded into their DNA.

Especially manspreading, also mansplaining, and of course the ever-despicable patriarchy, not to mention imperialism.

Someone got the languages mixed up. Wouldn’t a Portuguese person say “Obrigado” instead of “Gracias”? Never mind spelling his last name as if it were Spanish.

I must've gotten confused, I thought Climate Change was the # 1 Global Security Threat, OR was it President D.J.T. that they believe is #1 G.S.T.? Because IMO, this Virus is seriously overrated, 2,000,000 Americans dead huh? Fauci NOR Birx have ever apologized for their public pronouncements that were purposefully constructed to create FEAR amongst the citizens of the USA. I'm really sick of those 2 people appearing to give a 'Blank' about anybody.

Never mind that the CDC is still fudging the figures by adding in those that died with/from “co-morbidities”, citing the actual death figures from “the COVID” at around 10K for the USA.

Now I remember where that misspelling of “Guterres” came from—that miscreant former rep from IL, Luis Gutiérrez.
