SINGAPORE - The experience, networks and lessons learnt from Covid-19 will help Singapore tackle future pandemics as well as challenges such as climate change, said Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan on Saturday.
"Therefore, everything that we do now, in terms of building a network, mobilising resources and volunteers and working with each other is absolutely essential. We cannot afford to take our eyes off the ball." This year's theme, Humanitarian Responses to Covid-19: Anxiety and Hope, shaped discussions that focused on immediate consequences as well as the long-term implications of how organisations and people gave help during the pandemic.
"The world is in a more dangerous and a more volatile place. This combination of geopolitics, economic problems, environmental problems is existential. All these factors… are interacting in a vicious spiral and one crisis makes the next even worse," said Dr Balakrishnan, emphasising that the experience, networks and resources the delegates have made are essential to tackling these future challenges.
Big Pharma has literally been holding everyone by the nostrils this pandemic. Many long established scientific safety processes has been tossed out using EUA as an excuse to do so; latest Omicron boosters are tested only on 8 mice (not humans) & is still approved for EUA usage.
We said the same thing for SARS too, remember ?
