This includes reducing the timeline of safe and effective vaccines, treatments and tests from 300 to 100 days, dubbed the “100 Day Mission”. But what is needed to make this mission possible?
To kick-start our campaigning in 2023 and in line with our January action, our first conference call of the year was focused on taking a step back to reflect on the bigger picture of campaigning and being part of RESULTS.
