The reason we need to talk about a #PeoplesVaccine has everything to do with access. If the #HIV epidemic has taught us anything, it’s that new medical tools are useless unless people can get them (1/?)
We’ve had #PrEP and have known about #TasP since 2012, and yet 1.7 million people globally are newly infected with HIV every year because they cannot access the care they need (2/?)
Even if we identify a safe and effective #COVID19 vaccine, which is a big if, it will not do anything unless it is accessible to EVERYONE, EVERYWHERE (3/?)
That’s why we need a #PeoplesVaccine. That’s why we need @HHSGov to make sure pharmaceutical companies can’t profit off of this pandemic like they’ve profited off of HIV, hepatitis C, diabetes, and countless other epidemics that have come before this one (4/4)
