The EU, UK & a few other governments are determined to continue blocking wider vaccine production globally by obstructing the #TRIPSwaiver at the World Trade Organization.
This means global vaccine shortages will continue.
They will prolong the pandemic.

This week saw a dramatic change in US policy, when Biden shifted away from Trump’s profits-first approach to the pandemic.
Australia & New Zealand followed suit.
But the EU - led by Germany - is digging in its heels to back profits over human lives.

Yes, Trump is gone, but Merkel wants to continue his inhumane legacy.
The US decision has set off a hurricane of media attention, and pharma companies are spending shedloads to spread all sorts of lies and misdirections about the #TRIPSwaiver.
The EU is sadly joining them in this.
Let& #39;s take some of their whinging points, one by one...

Let& #39;s take some of their whinging points, one by one...
First, pharma shills (also pandemic profiteers) whine that a temporary patent waiver will disincentivize them in developing future vaccines.
This borders on extortion, and it& #39;s also ahistorical.
What incentivized them last time was our governments throwing billions at pharma.

Billions in public money went into the development of these vaccines:

And public money has been essential to the development of the underlying technology for ages:

And "public money", by the way, means our money. Our taxes.

The pharma companies are making obscene amounts of money.
Millions of us are dying.
In a global pandemic, I have no time for people who are basically moaning that they might have to wait a few days to buy their third yacht.

Second, those paid by the pharma companies say the #TRIPSwaiver wouldn& #39;t instantly bring new production online, because manufacturing is complicated.
To which I say: no duh.
This is, in fact, the best argument for backing the waiver immediately & not delaying further.

When the #TRIPSwaiver was first proposed in October, some 1 million people had already died of COVID.
Today, 7 months later, the death toll is 3.2 million.
How much longer should we wait? https://twitter.com/astroehlein/status/1382301491789246464">https://twitter.com/astroehle...

As for the complexities, let& #39;s listen to the experts...
Suhaib Siddiqi, former director of chemistry at Moderna, says that with the blueprint & technical advice, a modern factory should be able to get vaccine production going in at most, 3 to 4 months. https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-releases/rich-nations-vaccinating-one-person-every-second-while-majority-poorest-nations-are">https://www.oxfam.org/en/press-...

3 to 4 months to bring new vaccine production online to address the current shortage…
Countries have been blocking the #TRIPwaiver for 7 months…
So, don& #39;t give me that nonsense about, "it& #39;s not an instant solution".
We know. That& #39;s why your delaying tactics are appalling

The third slice of the nonsense pie that is opposition to the #TRIPSwaiver - and now a top EU talking point - is that exporting vaccines from current producing countries is the answer.
But if this were enough, why is only 3.6% of the world vaccinated after 4 months of rollout?
But if this were enough, why is only 3.6% of the world vaccinated after 4 months of rollout?
The EU - in the form of fresh statements re exports from @vonderleyen & @CharlesMichel - is attempting misdirection.
Exporting, not exporting - that& #39;s just arguing about who gets scarce supplies. It will not increase global production of vaccines.
The #TRIPSwaiver will.
Exporting, not exporting - that& #39;s just arguing about who gets scarce supplies. It will not increase global production of vaccines.
The #TRIPSwaiver will.
And that is the core of the problem, as everyone knows: global vaccine scarcity.
We must produce more doses of vaccines, more quickly.
By obstructing the #TRIPSwaiver, the EU, UK and a few others, are blocking wider vaccine production globally.

Prolonging the pandemic by restricting production helps pharma profits, but for everyone else it means:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="⬛️" title="Schwarzes großes Quadrat" aria-label="Emoji: Schwarzes großes Quadrat"> More death;

Think about that last point in particular: even if you are one of the lucky few to have been vaccinated, the longer this global pandemic goes on, the greater the risk that this comes back to bite you & your loved ones, too.

The phama companies know this, by the way. They talk openly about third doses being needed and new vaccines likely being necessary to meet new variants resistant to current vaccines.

3rd doses and new vaccines to meet new variants - that means demand will continue in the "rich countries", while supply (due to limited production capacity thanks to blocking the #TRIPSwaiver) remains low.
Again, great for profits. But deadly for the rest of us.

If the future is annual shots…
…but there& #39;s no capacity to make enough shots, quickly enough globally.
Then billions of us will never get the latest jab and be a source of newer variants.
And we& #39;ll need newer shots for newer variants…
Forever?
Who benefits from that?
