Vaccine funding drive hits $8bn target, US fails to contribute
World leaders, groups and celebrities such as Madonna participate in fundraiser, but Washington refuses to join effort.
World leaders and organisations have pledged $8bn to research, manufacture and distribute a possible vaccine and treatments for COVID-19, but the United States has refused to contribute to the global effort.
Organisers included the European Union and non-EU countries the United Kingdom, Norway and Saudi Arabia.
Sad that trumps USA wants to sit this out. Still there arent many cases in the States so maybe its no big deal..
