Tedros Ghebreyesus, the head of the World Health Organization (WHO), is urging world leaders to adopt and sign a new WHO Pandemic Treaty to crackdown on disinformation and increase vaccine uptake. He claims that disinformation has eroded trust between people, governments, and institutions. The treaty aims to accelerate the deprivation of countries' sovereignty in matters of health. Meanwhile, African countries are battling growing reservations towards the vaccine, with other major powers spreading a narrative that the United States has little regard for African lives. Additionally, there is relatively little international focus on the crisis in northern Mozambique.
