ShareDr. , the United States' leading expert on infectious disease, has told Newsweek that America is "re-establishing our place" in the global fight against COVID.The day after was sworn in as president, Dr. Fauci has announced the country would be rejoining the —reversing a decision by the 's previous administration to leave the UN body.Biden's administration has also pledged billions of dollars for the COVAX campaign, a global vaccine alliance aimed at helping poorer counties inoculate their populations."As you know he's [Biden] pledged $2 billion now, and 2 billion more for a total of $4 billion to contribute to the COVAX effort, which I think is very good news," said Fauci. "So we are re-establishing our place in the international global health community."Whereas before, there was the pulling out from and I'm very pleased to see that we're back in."Fauci Says Vaccine Rollout Isn't Failing Black Community Despite ChallengesRead moreDespite the investment into COVAX, the U.S. has not officially committed to giving away any surplus vaccines to other countries.
