U.S. says will not take part in WHO global drugs, vaccine initiative launch

The United States should be an active participant. American exceptionalism seems to have been proven by US governmental actions; current American politicians are exceptionally stupid and exceptionally incapable of rational thought.

Can we PLEASE do something about this. I am sick and tired of being asked to explain a US Govenment action by colleagues and friends in Europe or the Far East. The POTUUS should not be a laughing stock. And science and medicine in the US used to be pretty good.

By April 13th, there are already 3 vaccine trials are already in progress, 67 other are in potential evaluation [1]

>"... Three of the COVID-19 vaccine developers have already entered the stage of human trials. These are CanSino, Inovio Pharmaceuticals, and Moderna. Other 67 potential COVID-19 vaccines are still in preclinical evaluation. ..."

From my reading these trials are already global (Eg IVI, INOVIO, and KNIH to Partner with CEPI in Phase 1/2 Clinical Trial of INOVIO's COVID-19 DNA Vaccine in South Korea )

CanSino is Chinese (HK) company, that already received approval from CN regulator in march to begin human trials [2]

What are 'WHO global drug, vaccine initiative' has that the trials that are already going on, are overlooking?
