Yeah because adults stick within the realm of academics not mass-media tabloid-styled crap. And its about time your country grew up like the rest of us around the world..who ALL fared better..obviously. We're not conspiracy-minded bots.

Even if what you’re intimating were true (and there is no conclusive evidence one way or the other to date) wtf would that have to do with the topic of this episode (i.e., how to manage the NEXT pandemic in a more effective, equitable way) 🤔?

I had no idea the world was this bad. Capitalism and social hierarchies ruin everything.

TLDR: Capitalism is why the negotiations have failed

[@vinista256]

Specifically, *greed* is why they have failed 😕.

​@@vinista256 They have not failed since the Agreement was adopted at the WHA and now has to be voted on in the next 18 months including adjusting laws which could hinder a full implemation of the agreement.
