Infectious diseases are
threats without borders. From the
1918 influenza pandemic to the
COVID-19 pandemic and the mpox
(monkeypox) outbreaks, it has been
abundantly clear that contagious
pathogens can travel far and fast,
often resulting in profound fatalities
across societies. As of June 16,
2024, official records suggest that
COVID-19 has already claimed
775.65 million infections and 7.05
million deaths,1 data that are widely
considered to be between half and
one-fourth of the actual toll of the
pandemic.2 Whereas infectious diseases are inevitable, pandemics are
not. A lack of unified global responses has been a key barrier that
hinders society’s ability to curb and
control disease outbreaks over
time.3 For instance, although vaccination can effectively reduce
COVID-19 infections, hospitalizations, and deaths, vaccine inequity
in low- and middle-income countries, paired with vaccine hoarding
in high-income countries and medical supply woes in the early days of
the pandemic,4,5 has severely undermined global response toward managing COVID-19. Similar inequality
is also present in the global response
to mpox outbreaks...
