From the very beginning, the World Socialist Web Site provided clear, scientifically grounded warnings. We were among the first to identify the dangers and to call for a coordinated global response to eliminate the virus.
Today, as governments worldwide have embraced the "forever COVID" policy, the WSWS' record stands as a powerful indictment of capitalism's criminal response to the pandemic. Had a socialist public health program been pursued from the beginning, the vast majority of death and debilitation from COVID-19 could have been prevented and tens of millions of lives saved.
As we enter the sixth year of the pandemic, with new threats such as H5N1 bird flu on the horizon, the ICFI's fight for a scientific approach to public health based on the principles of global elimination remains as urgent as ever. This fight is inseparable from the broader struggle against capitalism and for the socialist transformation of society.
The coming shocks of the Trump administration in the domain of public health will further destabilize American society and accelerate the radicalization of the working class. The ICFI will continue to fight for the independent mobilization of workers internationally to end the pandemic and build a society that prioritizes human life over profit.
We urge you to read and share our detailed statement on the pandemic, highlighting the critical lessons and outlining the fight for a socialist public health strategy.
Additionally, explore our comprehensive timeline, which chronicles all the key events of the pandemic and our response over the past five years:
