By Robin MILLARD Genève (AFP) - Faute de consensus, les pays qui tentent depuis plus de deux ans de boucler un accord sur la prévention et la lutte contre les pandémies ont décidé vendredi de poursuivre les négociations et sauvegarder les progrès accomplis. "Ils ont travaillé très dur pour aller aussi loin que possible et trouver un terrain d'entente mais nous n'y sommes pas encore. Nous allons donc poursuivre notre travail", a déclaré le co-président Roland Driece à quelques journalistes au siège de l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Genève. C'est l'Assemblée mondiale de la santé (AMS), l'...

By Robin MILLARD Genève (AFP) - Les négociations marathon pour tenter de trouver un consensus historique sur la prévention et la lutte contre les pandémies entrent dans leur dernière ligne droite vendredi à Genève, mais un accord reste incertain. Il ne reste a priori qu'une journée si le calendrier et la date butoir du 10 mai sont respectés, après deux ans de discussions et de marchandages acharnés. Le souvenir des millions de morts, de la souffrance, des injustices et des immenses dégâts économiques de la pandémie de Covid-19, qui avait incité les 194 pays membres de l'Organisation mondiale d...

By Robin MILLARD Genève (AFP) - Il s'agit de protéger efficacement et équitablement le monde de futures pandémies: les négociations de la dernière chance commencent lundi à l'OMS pour trouver un consensus autour d'un projet d'accord sur un texte déjà édulcoré de certains de ses aspects les plus disputés. Après deux années de travaux, les négociateurs ont dû se rendre à l'évidence le mois dernier: il leur faut plus de temps pour tenter de se mettre d'accord sur ce texte historique sur la prévention, la préparation et la réponse aux futures pandémies. Le temps presse, il doit être adopté lors de...

Washington (AFP) - An anti-vaccine group founded by US presidential contender Robert F. Kennedy Jr raised millions of dollars during the coronavirus pandemic, tax records show, boosting its coffers as it ramped up what experts call dangerous health misinformation. Children's Health Defense (CHD), repeatedly called out for promoting vaccine falsehoods, collected about $46 million between 2020 and 2022, roughly 10 times its revenue in the three years preceding the pandemic. CHD and four other non-profit organizations collectively raked in more than $100 million during that period, public tax rec...

Around 40 per cent of Europeans said they held a positive view of the EU’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an exclusive Euronews-Ipsos poll. But there were large differences across EU countries, ranging from 74 per cent in Portugal holding a positive view of the bloc’s impact on fighting the pandemic to a mere 24 per cent holding that view in the Czech Republic. Respondents with the most negative views of the EU’s role during the pandemic were in Romania, Slovakia, and Austria. Overall, around 32 per cent of Europeans polled said they had neither a positive nor negative view wh...

Don’t say ‘mocktail’ in front of Dan Shell. Despite being a UK brand ambassador for Lyre’s, one of the biggest mocktail (oops) companies in the world, the award-winning bartender still winces at the word: "It's juicy, kiddy, nasty." Instead, Shell prefers to call them "non-alcoholics". “The whole thing with non-alcoholic cocktails is, they're an adult, grown up, non-alcoholic beverage, and that's something that didn't exist before,” he tells Euronews Culture. Indeed, the new wave of alcohol-free cocktails have had a glow-up, exuding flair, flavour and clear-headed-class. From sweet n’ smoky ma...

A discoloured Snoopy plush. A little rubber piggy. A doodle by a stranger. Meaningless to most, these objects are the last remains of long languished love stories that now sit on display at the Museum of Broken Relationships in Zagreb, Croatia. Whether bought for an anniversary, part of an in-joke or just random accomplices to life’s most intimate moments; ‘things’ are often all we have left to hold onto when a relationship ends; host to fragments of memories like Harry Potter Horcruxes. The dilemma, then, is what do you do with such objects? Too painful to keep, too meaningful to chuck. In 20...

Washington (AFP) - The head of the main US public health agency, the Centers for Disease Control, announced on Friday that she will step down from her post at the end of June. Rochelle Walensky, who was a key figure in the Biden administration's response to Covid-19, did not give a direct reason for her departure, but suggested that the easing of the coronavirus pandemic had brought her tenure at the CDC to a natural endpoint. "The end of the Covid-19 public health emergency marks a tremendous transition for our country, for public health, and in my tenure as CDC Director," the 54-year-old sa...

New York (AFP) - Moderna's chief executive on Wednesday defended the US company's plan to quadruple the price of its lifesaving Covid vaccine to as much as $130 per dose as soon as government stockpiles run out. Democratic Senator Bernie Sanders lashed out at the price hike, denouncing the "unprecedented level of corporate greed" in the pharmaceutical industry. "And that is certainly true with Moderna," Sanders said. Moderna has so far charged between about $15 and $26 for doses of its vaccine, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation. The US government subsidized $1.7 billion of Moderna's re...
