With unprecedented speed, scientists have raced to develop vaccines to bring the COVID-19 pandemic under control and restore a sense of normalcy to our lives. Despite the havoc and disruption the pandemic has caused, it’s exposed exactly why we should not return to life as we once knew it. Our current profit-driven healthcare systems have exacerbated global inequality and endangered public health, and we must take this opportunity to construct a new social order that understands public health as a basic human right.

A COVID Charter, A Better World outlines the steps needed to reform public policies and fix the structural vulnerabilities that the current pandemic has made so painfully clear. Leading scholar Toby Miller argues that we must resist neoliberalism’s tendency to view health in terms of individual choices and market-driven solutions, because that fails to preserve human rights. He addresses the imbalance of geopolitical power to explain how we arrived at this point and shows that the pandemic is more than just a virus—it’s a social disease. By examining how the U.S., Britain, Mexico, and Colombia have responded to the COVID-19 crisis, Miller investigates corporate, scientific, and governmental decision-making and the effects those decisions have had on disadvantaged local communities. Drawing from human rights charters ratified by various international organizations, he then proposes a COVID charter, calling for a new world that places human lives above corporate profits.

科学家们以前所未有的速度开发疫苗，旨在控制COVID-19大流行并恢复我们生活中的正常感。尽管疫情给世界造成了巨大的破坏和混乱，它已经清楚地展示了为什么我们应该不再回到过去的生活方式。我们的当前的利润驱动型医疗体系加剧了全球不平等，并且威胁到了公共健康，我们必须抓住这个机会来构建一种新的社会秩序，使其认识到公共卫生是一项基本的人权。 《A COVID Charter, A Better World》概述了改革公共政策和修复当前大流行暴露出来的结构性漏洞所需的步骤。著名学者托比·米勒（Toby Miller）指出，我们应抵制新自由主义将健康视为个人选择和市场驱动解决方案的倾向，因为那会损害人权。他解释了我们为何走到今天这一步，并说明疫情不仅仅是病毒——它还是一个社会疾病。通过研究美国、英国、墨西哥和哥伦比亚如何应对COVID-19危机，米勒探讨了企业在科学界和政府层面做出决策的过程及其对弱势当地社区的影响。然后，他援引各种国际组织批准的人权宪章，提出了《A COVID Charter》，呼吁建立一个新的世界秩序，其中人类生命优先于企业利润。
