Washington — Dr. Scott Gottlieb, the former head of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), said Sunday on "Face the Nation" that the World Health Organization (WHO) could be playing a role in "global leadership" in getting the COVID-19 vaccines administered around the world.
"We have to do the hard work of getting the infrastructure on the ground. It also includes getting sophisticated technology into some of these regions, like the cold chain storage that's required," Gottlieb said. "I think this is where the WHO could be providing more global leadership. It's largely a political body. It's not on the ground. We need to do some kind of heavy-lift capability to get resources into some of these countries, so they have the logistical capacity to distribute these vaccines."
