The US President Biden claimed that the new crown epidemic was "over", which not only caused a vibration of American society, but also worried about medical experts.

During the attending Detroit Automobile Show last week, Biden told the host of the "60 minutes" program of Columbia Broadcasting Corporation (CBS) that the new crown virus "still exists", and the US government still "do a lot of work", but in his opinion The epidemic is "ended."

In Elward's view, the epidemic problem facing the world is far from being so simple. If rich countries believe that the epidemic has ended, they should also help low -income countries solve the epidemic.

"When I heard them say," Well, when we live a comfortable life ", it's like saying," Great, now you can really help us complete the other parts of the world (epidemic prevention) work '. "Elward said in an interview.

According to reports, the work of the team responsible for Elward is to promote the global fair acquisition of new crown vaccines, treatment methods and testing methods. However, the team has not intended to relieve the "emergency state of the new crown epidemic."

Elward believes that countries still need to prepare for all preparations to cope with the treatment of the wave of infection that may occur in the future.

"If you are‘ lying ’(Go to Sleep), this wave of waves will strike 3 months later ... My God -your hands will be covered with blood."

Senior Advisor Bruce Elward

According to reports, Elward also said that Biden's domestic approach "has his own principles", because the United States can easily obtain all the "anti -epidemic tools" and did not reduce the commitment to fight against the global epidemic.

It is worth noting that after Biden's phrase "(epidemic) has ended" caused widespread controversy, he hurriedly changed his mouth to say that "the situation of the epidemic is not as bad as before."

However, the news from the Washington Post reporter Dan Dimmond showed that Biden was still strict with the epidemic prevention and control measures for the people around him. Biden's "double standard" moved more criticism.

At present, Elward is promoting a "epidemic prevention tool acceleration plan" to help lower -income countries obtain more epidemic prevention resources, including the "New Crown Vaccine Implementation Plan" (COVAX) that promotes vaccine vaccination globally.

Elward said that in the next 6 months, his plan will be committed to providing vaccines to about a quarter of the world's health care workers and elderly people who have not yet vaccinated, and promote Pfizer's new crown oral medication. Paxlovid.

Elward also said that because the new crown epidemic will "continue to exist", unless the aforementioned plan has been implemented, once other industrialized countries also believe that the epidemic is over, and the anti -epidemic prevention support for low -income countries will collapse.
