Working closely w/ World Health Organization (WHO), I'm concerned negotiations are stalling

Rich nations are refusing to link pathogen access to benefit sharing
The UK won't agree to offer 20% of pandemic products to WHO

Honoured to be giving the Boehm 2024 Lecture in Canada in a few days.

For our X/twitter Toronto friends, see you there.🤲

In the absence of extensive changes to the text, I would argue that the pandemic treaty isn't worth the paper it's written on.

If we push on without change, Canada cannot claim to be working in the service of health equity. Shame on us.
