Determined not to die in jail. And how the pandemic is forcing muslims around the world to change the way they celebrate the holy month of ramadan. Now its being hailed as a landmark collaboration weld leaders have pledged to speed up development of a Coronavirus Vaccine and ensure that everyone will have access to it as part of a wild Health Organization initiative but the United States with the death toll now over 50000 says it will not take part in that diplomatic had said james bays reports. Its just the place you would have expected in previous times to have seen u. S. Leadership in a Global Crisis and World Leaders coming together with a response not the idea of this event to coordinate the search for a vaccine testing and treatments for covert 19 and to make sure all the widely available the world needs distorts and it needs them fast. But experiences has stored as that even when tool is out a veil a bill they had been not been equally available to all we cannot allow that to happen and what feedback we may deem require is the most message public us efforts in history data must be shared Production Capacity prepared resources mobilize communities in gauged and politics separate sites. I know we can do is i dont we can put people 1st and leaders spoke from all regions of the world technically bringing them all together was a bit of a challenge you know excellence you have can you hear me now yes yes we can hear you back in germany one of the members of the g 7 a group of countries that were represented. Were now going to continue to mobilize all countries of the g 7 and the g 20 for them to back this initiative i hope that we will be able to reconcile the sinister with china and the us because the fight against covert 19 as a common good for humanity this shouldnt be any divisions between countries we need to join forces to win this battle the fact that the world Health Organization was the host of the event explains why the u. S. Didnt take part in President Trump cut all new funding to the w. H. O. Because he claimed the Global Health body had not been tough enough on china the w. H. O. Failed in this basic duty and must be held accountable is a Spokes Person for the u. S. Mission to the u. N. In geneva where the w. H. O. Is based told al jazeera theyll be no u. S. Official participation we were informed of this event last week and we look forward to learning more about this initiative as soon as possible following this event the next phase will be led by the European Union in 10 days time theyll be trying to raise 8000000000 dollars to make sure that vaccines testing and treatment are available to everyone james 0 at the United Nations lets go to dr bob arnot hes a medical doctor and also the former chief medical correspondent at n. B. C. News he joins us now on skype from vermont dr arnot let me start with a question that everyone is speculating about when are we likely to have a vaccine and enough of it produced to end this pandemic its quite the process. It really is you know right now they are already scam leading up the production of some back scenes that they believe are promising so that should these phase one phase 2 trials work there be a real opportunity to to have a back seat they said from the outset its 12 to 18 months right now and has to be im putting most of my hopes on current drugs for instance in i. C. U. Snow theyre using these i l 6 are receptor blockers so its a mouthful there but this cytokine storm seems to kill so many people they have a variety of different drugs theyre looking theyre reducing here is another an antiviral drug so i think unfortunately these vaccines really are a year to a year and a half way unless theres some kind of great miracle lots of scale of lots of only produce that but you have to show it safe and you have to show its effective well let me ask you then about safety as the Oxford University is starting to human trials of their vaccine this week and i know theres been speculation in the Scientific Community about possible ways to try to speed up testing that so many there are ethical implications that. Well you know we always say medicine 1st do no harm and there have been vaccines in the past that have done far harm that have caused infections you have 2 different kinds you have recall a live attenuated vaccine which means its actually the virus but it is not supposed to cause a lot of illness that caused a lot of concern back in the polio era and then theres a matter of taking you know particular energy you know parts of the dangerous parts of the virus and creating an antibody to it now right now we have this technique we take the end of bodies from people who were ill and transfused those into people who are currently l. So that thats working almost like an active vaccine but its a ways off i would say just as you know its very interesting with this w. H. O. Meeting today because you know they fell on their face during the a ball epidemic that we cover with you on it al jazeera in west africa it was a catastrophe and theres a lot of blame more than enough to go around certainly china has blamed for not having a phone in the world early enough the world Health Organization are saying that it wasnt transmitted person to person for not encouraging flight bands earlier and the United States you know we had months to prepare for this and you know were still short of the right kinds of tests and whatnot so i think unfortunately some politics involved here in the the president doesnt seem to like the world who are going to say should and theyre taking a fall for this but it would be a great tragedy of the United States didnt contribute money to the w. H. O. Because the african el system is so fragile and the w. H. O. Support so much so that i would hate to see that we really you know dont pay up over time but now let me assure you this though that you know Deborah Burkes part of the White House Team here is on the phone daily with people all around the world both in terms of helping countries in africa nations example and it trying to coordinate this effort are f. D. A. Here and of course attorney are again on a daily phone call. Pharmaceutical companies around the world so i would just to assure you that there really is active coordination between the National Institutes of health the f. D. A. And the White House Task force drug and backseat developers all over the world as you saw in those story tonight but of course some bad blood here unfortunately just the wrong time between the Us Administration of the world Health Organization well we are seeing this unprecedented cooperation within the Scientific Community in the hunt for a vaccine but surely theres also a bit of competition as to who might find one 1st and i imagine that would have implications for who actually gets access to it before others so how can poor countries be sure that theyll get the access they need when they need it. Well in this study thats the great tragedy here is i mean like poor countries the 1st thing theyre going to need are ventilators some countries like kenya might have 4 or 5 ventilators i mean you need ventilators you protective gear all of the things the United States has been scrambling to get in the china begin to scramble to get in early january you know unfortunately going to be tragically short and so much of africa once these medications and vaccines are produced in mass quantities you know usually the pharmaceutical companies are pretty good about getting them to those various countries but as you point out theres a mad world wide competition now companies and governments are sharing much more than they than they used to ordinarily would but clearly Certain Companies would want to be the winner in their story ambling hard to get a vaccine when i was little we had polio and you know one morning youd wake up and there be somebody playing ball within a football field and then afternoon or evening theyd be in an iron lung. And we were it would bated breath we really quite fearful for our lives of for a vaccine then there were he came with with a generous of him with with save and of course was like the greatest relief the guru to us miracle of all time so i have great hopes but i really think that the therapeutics will pay off 1st in the vaccines probably are a whole year away and still very limited resources there on both counts dr bob arnot is a medical doctor and former chief medical correspondent and b c news thanks for joining us on out of there. A day after President Trump raised the possibility of injecting disinfectant into patients to fight the coronavirus he held what was the shortest Daily Press Briefing since the pandemic began he walked out after 22 minutes without taking any questions from reporters after trying to walk back the remarks that hed made on thursday and jordan reports.
