Unfortunately yet *another* accident at this dangerous intersection which the @NYC_DOT won’t address. A school & library each one block away so many children crossing the street & *still* the DOT does nothing. @ydanis: the community has asked for years for a safety intervention.

[kateelder @kateelder]

@NYCParks @nyc311: what does the community need to do to get you to *remove* bee🐝 hives from under kids slides at McCarren Park Vincent Abate Playground? KIDS WERE STUNG MULTIPLE TIMES TODAY. Calls to 311 over past weeks have done nada. Are you waiting for a kid who’s allergic?!

@nschwalbe @nyc311 @Rit_Aggarwala @NYCMayorsOffice @MarkLevineNYC Thanks, Nina!

Where is the NYC DEP? For the past 3 days unsafe asbestos abatement has been happening next door (tearing uncontained asbestos off a townhouse roof) and no response despite calls to @nyc311. @Rit_Aggarwala @NYCMayorsOffice Where are your inspectors?

[kateelder @kateelder]

@nyc311 @Rit_Aggarwala @NYCMayorsOffice I have DM the service request #. Thank you for your action.

From being instrumental in Nigeria’s midwives services scheme to now the CEO of @gavi, this is an *excellent* choice! Congratulations @muhammadpate!

As if industry hadn’t already reaped enough💰on the back of this devastating pandemic. Reports that $1.4 *billion* was kept from @gavi’s publicly-funded #COVAX that tried to help to world’s poorest countries. Brilliant 🔦reporting by @snolen & @RebeccaDRobbins. #Transparency

[kateelder @kateelder]

@natashaloder @JeremyFarrar “…. suited the NGOs”? That sounds disparaging (& omits recognition of the critical work done *only* by NGOs - @peoplesvaccine #FreeTheVaccine - to call out pharma’s responsibility in hoarding tech). Also don’t recall seeing Gavi/BMGF/CEPI or other COVAX leaders criticizing Modi.

Con't "...occasionally “ordered doses” and “delivered doses,” but all too rarely “administrated doses.” This led Politico to conclude that “a dose is not a dose” in the context of Covax’s vaccine rollout." END.

[kateelder @kateelder]

Quick worthwhile read! Points on @gavi's #covax: "Misrepresentation -...Covax initially promised to provide “access to at least 2 billion doses of safe and effective covid-19 vaccines to the most vulnerable [by end 2021]" but ended up delivering less than half that (832.5 mill).

Nonsense, hogwash, BS – whatever you call it, please join us in calling out #GHBS – the excessive use of misleading spin, hyperbole, buzzwords, and technocratic jargon in #globalhealth discourse. With @felixundstein & @AdeBengyP @bmj_latest https://t.co/9GrHprr4FO

[kateelder @kateelder]

Con't "Further, Covax and the countries that donated vaccines to it opted to highlight whatever metric best portrayed their impact. They sometimes emphasised “pledged doses” and sometimes “secured doses,”...

@JMDBarroso @gavi @mohgovgh It'll be great to have the Dec 2023 Board in Ghana! When will the Gavi Board decisions of 7-8 December 2022 be online?

[kateelder @kateelder]

@daktari1 @sarajerving @SojiAdeyi @CPHIA_AfricaCDC @devex And before the WB it was financial backing from Afreximbank but I don't think that's the crux of this point. The same HICs that you're rightly pointing out hoarded vaccines are those that are most influential on Gavi's Board. Gavi is charity. We need change, not just charity.
