Preparation of anti-corona vaccine, world leaders pledge several trillion dollars

BRUSSELS (NNI) - World leaders, celebrities and philanthropists have pledged € 7.4 billion (€ 8.1 billion) to investigate the vaccine, treatment and testing for the coronavirus, according to foreign news agencies. The commitment was made during a video conference organized by the European Union, which was not attended by the United States. Conference host and European Commission co-chair Urslavon der Leyen said the best way to beat Code 19 was with a vaccine. At the same time, the major European powers made great promises, but in the absence of representation from the United States, vaccines were invented and developed. However, some wealthy Americans attended the conference, where European officials will be able to get $ 10 billion from pop star Madonna. The objective of the conference was 7,500 million euros. However, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned that more funds would be needed and that the amount could be up to € 38 billion. That these funds are a kind of leverage for the manufacture of new equipment, but we need 5 times that amount to reach everyone everywhere. On the other hand, the head of the World Health Organization, Edhanom Gabriess, praised the fundraising as a "demonstration of global solidarity". However, the plan was thwarted by the absence of the United States, while United States President Donald Trump harshly criticized the World Health Organization for the epidemic, with which European officials expressed frustration in private. In addition, a senior United States official welcomed the telethon, but declined to comment. He noted that many of the organizations that have pledged funds have already received significant support from the United States. When asked why the United States did not participate, he replied that the East EU event is one of many of those efforts, and Washington is at the forefront of these international efforts.
