1/ Appalled by vaccine apartheid?

Tomorrow as the WTO meets to discuss the #TRIPSWaiver, we will be taking it to the pharmaceutical industry with a series of protests throughout the US.

@PplsAction @HealthGAP @uaem @CPDAction @actupny
2/ We will shine a light on pharma greed.

We will show that the vaccine scarcity is false.

We will demand vaccine equity and that Biden #FreeTheVaccine.

Because no one is safe until everyone – globally – is safe.
3/ In NYC, we'll be at Pfizer.

I just keep coming back to this tweet so going to transcribe its image
"The EU, US and UK make up only 10.8% of the global population but have given 50% of all vaccinations.

In contrast, Africa makes up 17.2% of the world in population but only 1.5% of vaccinations"
"COVAX is on track to achieve only about a quarter of its aimed vaccinations this year, which would amount to vaccinating a maximum of 5% in any one country."

Here's early data suggesting the B.1.351 variant is a vaccine escape mutant.

To prevent more strains that the vaccines don't protect from, we need a paid shutdown now. #PaidShutdownNow

statnews.com/2021/02/07/sou…
There are high levels of uncontrolled transmission in the US, UK, EU, Brazil, and elsewhere that are increasingly exposed to people who are vaccinated.
If we vaccinated 5 billion or so people instantly, like flicking a switch, the pandemic would likely end in a flash.

1/ Here's four things I hope everyone will connect with to better understand MLK:
– His concerns about white moderates
– Not just his dream but his nightmare
– Not just anti-racism but interconnectedness and anti-oppression
– Not just persuasion but organizing disruptive action
2/ Here is King on white moderates: africa.upenn.edu/Articles_Gen/L…
3/ Here is King talking about realism and not just his dream but his nightmare: theroot.com/dr-martin-luth…

16 quarts of mushroom barley soup for us and friends.

(Not pictured: quart 17, already eaten)
We used this recipe with some modifications.

– added the barley at the end, not separately
– used Better Than Bouillon vegetable broth
– 1.5x carrots/celery/onion
– 2x dried shiitakes
– added garlic powder

Cost $30 for 17 quarts.

Key sourcing:
– Baldor for pearl barley (we got 10lbs)
– Chinatown markets for white button mushrooms (we got 4lbs), shiitake
– Costco for carrots, Better Than Bouillon

RT if you think that we shouldn't be throwing out usable doses of the vaccine.
In the face of mass death and mass suffering, every wasted dose is a policy failure, a leadership failure, a moral failure.
Institutions are throwing out doses because they're rigidly sticking to their current eligibility recommendations, because they're failing to maintain the cold chain.

There should be mandatory, transparent reporting of every single wasted dose.

The pandemic is at its worst and still worsening.

The number of new cases each day keeps surpassing prior all-time highs.

The number of deaths each day keeps surpassing prior all-time highs.

There's a new super-infectious strain of the virus.
People are exhausted.

People are without paychecks.

People are facing evictions.
There is a dream of quickly vaccinating our way out of this but we're failing to produce and distribute the vaccine fast enough.

Like, we're really, really far behind the pace that's needed.
