After a two-year investigation of the pandemic, the Lancet COVID-19 Commission released their final report on September 14th. Today, I present key findings and recommendations from that report. The take home message is that the world’s pandemic response failed miserably. Some key findings of the Commission: we still don’t know where COVID-19 came from and the investigation into a possible lab origin has been obstructed by the US, China, and “others”; gain-of-function research may have caused the COVID-19 pandemic and presents a clear and present danger of starting another one; the WHO acted too slowly and too cautiously in several key areas; global cooperation and coordination in responding to COVID-19 was dismal; western countries did far worse than Asia Pacific countries in mitigating the effects of the virus on their populations; the vaccine rollout was guided more by economics and market factors than equity and medical need....and that’s only scratching the surface. I have included a link to the webinar and their final report The Lancet Commission on lessons for the future from the COVID-19 pandemic on the Straighttalkmd.com website.
