COPENHAGEN - The WHO s European director warned Friday that the COVID-19 pandemic won t end until at least 70 percent of people are vaccinated, and criticized Europe s vaccine rollout as too slow .
The World Health Organization warned Friday that efforts to uncover the Covid-19 pandemic's origins were being hampered by politics, insisting scientists needed space to work on solving the mystery.
India’s statement was clearly aligning with the US, which has been pushing to have a greater influence on the second phase of studies by the UN’s global health body into the source of the coronavirus.
The United States called on Tuesday for international experts to be allowed to evaluate the source of the coronavirus and the "early days of the outbreak" in a second phase of an investigation into the origins of the coronavirus.
