LIVE: Media briefing on global health issues with @DrTedros twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
"Last night I returned from the #WHS2022 in Berlin, 🇩🇪, which this year WHO co-hosted. I was very encouraged to see the level of commitment from leaders from government, civil society, academia & the private sector for addressing the most pressing health challenges"-@DrTedros
@DrTedros "There was strong support for the international #PandemicAccord, which countries are now negotiating.

And yesterday, governments and philanthropic donors collectively committed 2.6 billion U.S. dollars to work toward ending polio"-@DrTedros #WHS2022

So I managed to keep myself from live-tweeting my own session at #WHS2022 this morning, but wanted to collect a few points/quotes from it here.
The session was on "Global Health Communications". Full recording is online:
His father, a policemam in Ireland, taught him one thing, says @DrMikeRyan: ‘Always answer the question you’re asked’
“I’ve kept that in my mind the whole way through this.” (I have to say that really shows!)
Hardest part were personal attacks (for instance on FoxNews), says @DrMikeRyan:
“When you're being attacked yourself, you have some sense that you have agency in that. It's when you see others around you being attacked, that you really feel resentment, your blood really boils.”

COVAX did not fail because it was badly designed says @DrMikeRyan at #WHS2022:
"We failed because of the greed of the north. We failed because of the greed of the pharmaceutical industry. We failed because of self-interest in certain member states, who were not prepared to share"
@DrMikeRyan "The view of the independent panel was not that @WHO failed the world. No, member states failed the WHO. This is clear. The WHO does need more powers to deal with pandemics", says @HelenClarkNZ at #WHS2022.
@DrMikeRyan @WHO @HelenClarkNZ "Isn't there something ridiculous about the fact that @iaeaorg can go into a war zone and inspect what's happening in a nuclear power plant and @WHO doesn't have an absolute right to get visas to go to the site of any outbreak anywhere in the world?", asks @HelenClarkNZ. #WHS2022

Als Gruppierung haben wir uns entschieden, zivilen Ungehorsam und Blockaden nicht als Aktionsform der #Scientists4Future zu nutzen. #KlimaUndSolcheSachen
Gleichzeitig sind Kommentare wie der des Bundeskanzlers beim #WHS2022 zur Protesten von @ScientistRebel1 und @SciReb_Germany für die politisch notwendige Lösung der #Klimakrise nicht hilfreich.
@Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz sagte gestern: "Sie machen Proteste zu Klima und solchen Sachen und denken, das würde unsere Diskussionen verbessern. Und ich denke, der beste Weg, die Diskussionen zu verbessern, ist nicht hinzuhören und weiterzumachen." Quelle: zeit.de/news/2022-10/1…

Yesterday, myself and ~30 scientists were detained by police after ringing the alarm at #WHS2022 where politicians kept lying to the public, claiming everything is fine. It isn't. The climate crisis is a health crisis. We need to #UniteAgainstClimateFailure and act NOW. 🧵
Everyone knows the science. Climate change is tightly linked with death by heat, zoonotic diseases like covid, malnutrition, etc. And it's only going to get worse. Unless we act. Unless scientists rise up and scream until we're heard. Because they haven't listened. Not really.
Joining civil disobedience action is scary. I never thought I'd be doing this. I'd be much more comfortable at the lab. But I can't ignore the evidence. I can't lie to myself that politicians will do the right thing. They haven't. Climate inaction is their goal.

1/x 🧵Worried to be thrown into a big Berlin protest #whs2022. I am here for #immunocompromised patients and learn about better covid prevention. Now there’s protester glued to the buildings, shouting 😡 at the 3500 conferences attendees about climate change. Police have arrived.
2/x This all is not good. Global collective approaches are essential. People must talk. Leaders must talk. Then there should be action. When people don’t feel there is transparency and have to protest, something has gone DEEPLY wrong.
3/x There must be DEEP trust and transparency in leaders. We must bring the public with us and explain the pros and cons. There should not be closed doors. These are key messages that the @IAPartnership are pushing and trained us to deliver. Protests=failure

Scientist Rebellion unterbricht die Eröffnung des World Health Summit (#WHS2022) in Berlin.

Über 50 Wissenschaftler*innen fordern sofortiges nationales & internationales Handeln, um die eskalierende Klimakrise zu begrenzen.

#UniteAgainstClimateFailure
Livestream via Facebook hier:
fb.watch/gbWvIfu4SA/

Die Regierungen haben die sichere Klimazone nicht verteidigt.

Es gibt keinen realistischen Weg mehr, die globale Erhitzung unter 1,5°C zu halten.

#WHS2022
#ScientistRebellion
#UniteAgainstClimateFailure
Das Klimaversagen der Regierungen bedroht akut das Leben, die Sicherheit und die Gesundheit der Menschen.

Die Klimakrise ist damit auch die größte Gesundheitskrise der Menschheit.
