U.S. NOT JOINING GLOBAL EFFORT TO CREATE VACCINE: Officials from the World Health Organization take questions from the public as part of their #AskWHO initiative. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…
The Trump administration has announced that the United States will not be joining a global effort to develop and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine, refusing to work with the WHO to ensure equitable vaccine doses for all countries.
Over 170 countries are in talks to participate in the initiative. ‘The United States will continue to engage our international partners to ensure we defeat this virus,’ a White House spokesperson said...
... ‘But we will not be constrained by multilateral organizations influenced by the corrupt World Health Organization and China.’
Pres. Trump has continuously criticized the WHO by blaming them for the pandemic, even though the WHO declared a health emergency six weeks before Trump did. Earlier this year, Trump announced that he would be pulling U.S. funding for the global health organization.

A former NBC marketing executive has issued an apology to Americans for creating a false narrative of who Donald Trump really is while filming ‘The Apprentice’ in the mid-aughts. Image
Trump was coming off several failed business ventures, bankruptcies, and controversies when the show launched on NBC in 2004; the reality program helped re-cement Trump’s reputation as a successful mogul in the public eye for years to come. Image
Image
‘To sell the show, we created the narrative that Trump was a super-successful businessman who lived like royalty,’ John D. Miller wrote. ‘That was the conceit of the show. At the very least, it was a substantial exaggeration; at worst, it created a false narrative by making him seem more successful than he was.’

He said that governments must remain committed to net-zero goals to avert climate disaster and that fossil fuel companies should start helping, instead of hindering, the energy transition.
‘Fossil fuel companies must also cease and desist influence peddling and legal threats designed to kneecap progress,’ Guteress said.
