| Tell Donald Trump: "This is a global pandemic. Denying American scientists the ability to share research with the WHO needlessly endangers American lives. Work with the WHO to find and distribute a COVID-19 vaccine!" | Donald Trump is looking for someone to blame, instead of looking for a vaccine. For months, he has misled Americans about the dangers of COVID-19. In a recorded phone call with author Bob Woodward, Trump admitted that COVID-19 was "deadly stuff," and much more dangerous than "strenuous flus."1 That was was back in February! Now, hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying. Since then, Trump has made a number of reckless decisions in response to the pandemic. He's promoted the quack treatment hydroxychloroquine, ignored and disparaged advice from public health officials, and refused to participate in a global vaccine effort led by the World Health Organization (WHO).2 ADD YOUR NAME: Tell Donald Trump: The US should be part of the solution to finding a COVID-19 vaccine! Even though Trump knew about the severity of COVID-19 in February, he minimized the disease and labeled it as a "hoax."3 In another recorded call with Woodward in March, Trump even admitted that he was "playing it down" with COVID-19.4 Now Donald Trump is compounding the damage his neglect and his misleading statements have caused. His decision to prevent the US from joining the WHO global effort runs the risk of isolating the US from access to a potential vaccine and limiting global access to a COVID-19 vaccine.
Trump needs to distract us from his failure to respond to COVID-19, so he is using the World Health Organization as a scapegoat. Trump's lackluster response to the pandemic is a public health emergency. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are dying. The stakes are too high to leave Americans out of the world's search for a vaccine. It's not too late for the US to rejoin the WHO initiative, but Donald Trump will need to put the health and well-being of the American people before his own ego. Tell Donald Trump: Stop misleading the American people on COVID-19 and join the WHO effort to develop a vaccine — before it's too late! Thanks, Alex Lawson
