Nothing is more urgent than all of us working together to defeat Covid-19, and that world is going to be much better prepared for future pandemics — we have to do both. This summit is about supercharging our efforts in three key areas: vaccinating the world by dramatically ramping up vaccine production, donations, delivery and administering the vaccine, which is a logistical — it’s a logistical challenge. Addressing the oxygen crisis at many hospitals in the world and making other treatments more available, as well as increasing the availability and accessibility of public health tools such as masks, tests and tests, and building back better to ensure that our global health security infrastructure can withstand future challenges. We’ve all suffered. The United States has lost more than 670,000 of our fellow Americans, worldwide, the death toll is above 4.5 million people — 4.5 million people. And this is a global tragedy, and we’re not going to solve this crisis with half measures or middle of the road ambitions. We must do more and all parties need to play their part. This includes governments, the private sector as well as civil society leaders and philanthropists. This is a crisis that requires all hands. And the good news is we know how to beat this pandemic — Vaccines, public health measures and collective action.
