We aren’t handling the current pandemics in the world very well at all so its no surprise there is poor preparation for the next one. But having heard the WHO once again with its transmission mechanism as “close contact” rather than the actual known transmission vector of airborne it isn’t a wonder agreements aren’t being made. Every party involved is twisting reality and wants to be able to keep doing that into the future and the drug companies want to make sure they can maximise their profits when they do develop something.
