Every country, and nobody wants to take them,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe issue in many countries is that people don\u2019t want vaccines,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n[embedded content]\n<p>Bancel\u2019s announcement comes just after the World Health Organization (WHO) issued a stern warning: the COVID-19 pandemic is \u201cmost certainly not over,\u201d warned WHO head Tedros Ghebreyesus.<\/p>\n<p>Although deaths from a current variant of SARS-CoV-2 , known as Omicron, have dropped precipitously, the WHO head said \u201cwe lower our guard at our peril,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/news.un.org\/en\/story\/2022\/05\/1118752\">according<\/a> to the United Nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, is COVID-19 over? No, it\u2019s most certainly not over. I know that\u2019s not the message you want to hear, and it\u2019s definitely not the message I want to deliver,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Ghebreyesus on Sunday told officials gathered in Geneva for the opening of the World Health Assembly\u2019s annual meeting that declining testing and sequencing means \u201cwe are blinding ourselves to the evolution of the virus.\u201d In addition, he said that while billions are vaccinated against the virus, nearly one billion people in lower-income countries still are not.<\/p>\n<p>While some 60% of the world\u2019s population is vaccinated, he said, \u201cit\u2019s not over anywhere until it\u2019s over everywhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghebreyesus mentioned that \u201creported cases are increasing in almost 70 countries in all regions,\u201d the U.N. reported.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that the virus is spreading rapidly in Africa, where the vaccination rate is the lowest worldwide. And he said while there appears to be ample supply of the vaccine, there is \u201cinsufficient political commitment to roll out vaccines\u201d in some countries according to the U.N., while there remain gaps in \u201coperational or financial capacity\u201d in other nations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn all, we see vaccine hesitancy driven by misinformation and disinformation,\u201d Ghebreyesus said. \u201cThe pandemic will not magically disappear. But we can end it. We have the knowledge. We have the tools. Science has given us the upper hand,\u201d he said, calling on countries to work together to reach 70% of vaccination coverage.<\/p>\n<p>Ghebreyesus also said the virus is staying ahead of vaccines. \u201cThis virus has surprised us at every turn \u2013 a storm that has torn through communities again and again, and we still can\u2019t predict its path, or its intensity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe WHO chief also warned that increasing transmission means more deaths and more risk of a new variant emerging, and the current decline of testing and sequencing means \u2018we are blinding ourselves to the evolution of the virus,&#8217;\u201d the UN said in its statement.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
