Abstract

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO), the body charged with implementing global pandemic response, figured heavily in the Republican and Democratic campaigns of the 2020 US presidential election. The contrast was stark: Donald Trump drew on and ramped up dissatisfaction with the United Nations system in general and the WHO in particular, culminating in his decision to pull the US out of the WHO in the middle of the pandemic, while Joe Biden rescinded the decision to leave the WHO the day after assuming the presidency. Despite this difference, neither party heeded renewed calls during COVID to put health justice and primary healthcare at the heart of global health policy. Both parties continued to prefer private philanthropic sources of funding for global vaccine initiatives, and both sought economic returns on vaccine development, potentially missing a rare opportunity to incorporate global health justice into US global health diplomacy.

拜登听取世界卫生组织讲话

世界卫生组织(WHO)是负责实施全球流行病应对的机构，在2020年美国总统大选的共和党和民主党竞选活动中发挥了重要作用。对比鲜明:唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)利用并加剧了对整个联合国系统，尤其是世卫组织的不满，最终在疫情期间决定让美国退出世卫组织，而乔·拜登(Joe Biden)在担任总统的第二天就撤销了退出世卫组织的决定。尽管存在这种差异，但双方都没有在COVID期间再次呼吁将卫生正义和初级卫生保健置于全球卫生政策的核心。双方继续倾向于为全球疫苗倡议提供私人慈善资金来源，双方都寻求疫苗开发的经济回报，这可能会错过将全球卫生正义纳入美国全球卫生外交的难得机会。

期刊介绍： Public Culture is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of cultural studies, published three times a year—in January, May, and September. It is sponsored by the Department of Media, Culture, and Communication, NYU. A four-time CELJ award winner, Public Culture has been publishing field-defining ethnographies and analyses of the cultural politics of globalization for over thirty years. The journal provides a forum for the discussion of the places and occasions where cultural, social, and political differences emerge as public phenomena, manifested in everything from highly particular and localized events in popular or folk culture to global advertising, consumption, and information networks. Artists, activists, and scholars, both well-established and younger, from across the humanities and social sciences and around the world, present some of their most innovative and exciting work in the pages of Public Culture.
