Global leaders have called for a new treaty to help the world prepare for future pandemics, in a warning against rising vaccine nationalism.
More than 20 national leaders, including France’s Emmanuel Macron, Britain’s Boris Johnson and Germany’s Angela Merkel, wrote a piece published in several media outlets on Tuesday warning that it is a question of “not if, but when” the next health crisis strikes.
The piece calls for greater international co-operation and says countries should avoid isolationism and nationalism.
“There will be other pandemics and other major health emergencies. No single government or multilateral agency can address this threat alone. The question is not if, but when,” the article states.
The stark warning comes as countries and trade blocs continue to clash over vaccine supply. Some of those who signed the letter have been involved in recent sniping over vaccine shipments.
The European Union and the UK are in a long-running war of words over drugmaker AstraZeneca’s contracts to supply its shot, while some EU member states have repeatedly expressed their frustration with the bloc’s stuttering vaccine rollout.
But the group which signed Tuesday’s article struck a markedly different tone, stressing that unity and co-ordination was key for future pandemics.
Among its authors is World Health Organization (WHO) chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who has previously warned against vaccine nationalism and a “me first’ approach to inoculation.
The world leaders wrote that they are “committed to ensuring universal and equitable access to safe, efficacious and affordable vaccines, medicines and diagnostics for this and future pandemics.”
“We believe that nations should work together towards a new international treaty for pandemic preparedness and response,” they added.

US, China and Russia signatures are missing
There are some notable exceptions to the article’s list of signatories.
The leaders of the US, China and Russia did not put their names to the piece, but Tedros said all member states will still be included in discussions on an international treaty.
The WHO chief described the open letter as being signed on an “opt-in” basis, but emphasized that comments from states including the US and China were “actually positive.”
“When the discussion on the pandemic treaty starts, all member states will be represented,” he said.
Tedros was speaking to the press on Tuesday in Geneva, following a meeting with the President of the European Council, Charles Michel.
“There is quite significant support, not just through the op-ed but also through bilateral contact that we have with all of the nations across the world, including nations that did not sign this op-ed, but which are reacting quite positively to the idea,” Michel said.
To date, more than 127 million coronavirus cases have been officially recorded worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University’s tally. The virus has killed more than 2.7 million people and has brought parts of the world to a near standstill over the past year.
The joint article comes as Europe grapples with a third wave of the pandemic and cases surge in Brazil and India.
Official signatures from the U.S. and China were absent from a letter calling for future pandemic planning published in newspapers around the world. Meanwhile, worries deepen that the WHO’s report on the coronavirus’ source is inconclusive.

Reuters: Pandemic Treaty Could Be Advanced By May WHO Assembly: WHO’s Tedros
A proposed international treaty on pandemics could be advanced at the World Health Organization’s annual ministerial assembly in May, WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Tuesday. The WHO chief said the treaty would help to tackle gaps exposed by COVID-19, strengthen implementation of international health regulations and also provide a framework cooperation in areas such as pandemic prevention and response.

NPR: Where Did Pandemic Originate? WHO Report Out Tuesday Points To Wildlife Farms
The highly anticipated World Health Organization report on the origins of the coronavirus that sparked a global pandemic is due out Tuesday. NPR has obtained an early copy. According to the report, data suggests that the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was not the original source of the outbreak. In addition, the report noted that “introduction through a laboratory incident” — a leak from the lab in Wuhan — “was considered to be an extremely unlikely pathway.” (Doucleff and Lohmeyer, 3/29)

Axios: Long-Awaited WHO-China Report Inconclusive On Coronavirus Origins
A report from a team of scientists assembled by the World Health Organization and China leaves unresolved the question of where the coronavirus originated, but calls the possibility that it leaked from a laboratory “extremely unlikely,” according to a copy obtained by Axios. The process of investigating the origins of the virus has been fraught with geopolitical tensions, and the report set to be released on Tuesday will likely create more questions than it answers.

The Wall Street Journal: WHO Report Into Covid-19 Origins Leaves Key Questions Unanswered
A World Health Organization-led team investigating the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic said in a report that data examined during a recent mission to China was insufficient to answer the critical questions of when, where and how the virus began spreading. The long-awaited report, which has yet to be made public but was reviewed by The Wall Street Journal on Monday, calls for closer examination of Chinese hospital records and blood samples from before the first known cases in December 2019, as well as more extensive testing of farms that supplied wild animals to a market linked to many early cases.
