China And US Snub Global Talks On Vaccine
The title of this post is the same as that of this article in The Times.
Judging by the list of those that turned up to the talks, the United States and China care less about the health of their people and the wider world than Saudi Arabia.
There are multiple US companies that are furiously working on vaccines but particularly Johnson&Johnson, Moderna, and Pfizer. Bill Gates is spending billions to build out production capacity even before be is sure it will work. There’s a lot more to the US than the federal govt.

Interesting that the absence of China and the United States has given the EU an opportunity to play a world-leading role.
