September 2017

Resolve to Save Lives is a five-year, $225 million global health initiative that seeks to address major health issues on a global scale. Former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Dr. Tom Frieden is president and CEO.  The effort is funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and housed at Vital Strategies in New York City.  These “global implementing partners” are listed at the bottom of the home page for Resolve to Save Lives: World Health Organization, The World Bank, Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Global Health Advocacy Incubator, and CDC Foundation.

Resolve to Save Lives is an initiative of the global public health organization Vital Strategies.

In 2017, my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Tom Frieden and I discussed an idea for a new global health initiative, “Resolve to Save Lives.” It was a name fit for its ambitious mission: to save more than 100 million lives by preventing heart attacks and strokes and to help countries close life-threatening gaps in epidemic preparedness and response.

— José Luis Castro, President and CEO of Vital Strategies

On whose authority do the mega-wealthy like Bloomberg, Gates, and Zuckerberg operate in the global health sphere? The kind of money that these people and their foundations bring to the table can change the global health agenda, but they are ultimately accountable only to themselves. My friend Sophie Harman of Queen Mary University London has done incredible work on the question of legitimacy and philanthropy in global health. She argues in a recent article in Global Governance that groups like the Gates Foundation essentially trade on their wealth to gain significant real-world political influence, but that they use this power to advance their own agendas. What good are these additional resources if they don’t give voice to the people who will live with the effects of these investments?

The title of the article is “After 2020, Pandemic Preparedness Budget Cuts Should Be Unthinkable.”  So, it really is all about the budget.

Tom Frieden is former director of the CDC, president and CEO of Resolve to Save Lives, and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

They may have just proved the scam with this article. It really isn’t necessary to go beyond the title to see the problem, especially in conjunction with Peter Daszak’s quote from 2015.
