7th parallel #VaccineRolloutSA

@SAHPRA1 please explain how this is taking place, with what vaccine stock, from where? Why?
And @DIRCO_ZA @PresidencyZA

The French blocked TRIPS WAIVER & greater access in global south, but vaccinates its own, here, first?
@peoplesvaccine @OTMeds
Using JandJ: How was this authorised @SAHPRA1 ?

So we have different stock for different nationals from MNC that refuses full licenses/ cannot meet our domestic supply needs/cost us 2 mill. doses??
Where did stock come *from* ?

Science is not winning.

za.ambafrance.org/Campagne-de-va…
Will @GCISMedia or @HealthZA ever answer please.

@BLSA_Official @SAHRCommission
Musn't these VIP vaccinations also be tracked on local vaccinated dashboard?
@WHO @AfricaCDC
@mediahackza @Bhekisisa_MG
@PeterASinger - this is not right. The world knows it. We have less than 2 mill people vaccinated here bec. of a supply crisis. June 2021.
But, now we have G7 vaccine apartheid right here locally.
Listen up global south: we are on our own. 🧪⏳🔊
The world is in bonkers mode. They will justify this.

We need a #PeoplesVaccine - if you gonna do your 'own' peeps first, have the DECENCY to not BLOCK EFFORTS SO THAT WE TOO CAN GET VACCINATED -

The EU is just shameful.

#TRIPSwaiver @AFP
Can we get the EU/G7 embassies AND @UN & its staff to come clean now please-what is going on?

Has there been a parallel VIP vaccine programme in SA for richer nations staff, officials & citizens- when, how, why?
@DIRCO_ZA @SAHPRA1

@AJEnglish
@democracynow
@WHO

@peoplesvaccine
Imports. Irony.
"...vaccination for French people in SA and staff from establishments in the French network aged 55 & over.
The vaccine used is the Janssen vaccine from Johnson & Johnson, which is reserved for people aged 55 and over by the French health authorities."

(Some) #PeoplesVaccine
Also, which injury and indemnity scheme does this then fall under, France or SA...?
@HealthZA @COVID_19_ZA @PresidencyZA @GCISMedia @DIRCO_ZA @SAHPRA1
Also, again, how?- when we not getting enough of our own @JNJNews stock and are in a massive supply crisis, slowing our rollout. Are these VIP vaccines coming in by chartered flights or what.... ?
Mercy.
Urge the @WHO to look into this...
@hrw
@_AfricanUnion
@amnesty
@Oxfam
Vaccine Apartheid.

'Mass' vaccination sites require enough vaccines🧪

Vaccine supplies & deliveries require transparent contracts📚

1% of a 32 mill vaccine promise is not a good or sustainable way forward.⏳

We need a #PeoplesVaccine - share tech, trf know-how, pass the #TRIPSwaiver -urgently🔊
We need the 2 million immediately, overdue.
30 million after.

If not, then demand cannot be met, which means, next steps v. J&J.

*And, 300k is 1%. 1%!

Minister @DrZweliMkhize committs to uploading MAC Vaccine ADVISORIES by end of briefing. Commits to urgency and expediting availability.

Aim for 67% of population. First HCWs, then elderly and those with co-morbidities.
Mainly COVAX. Balance of funds being secured from govt. when 'COVAX delivers'.

Can the media rather also interview and question the front runner vaccine companies please, about pricing, access, advance orders and tech transfer or pooling- we dont need to really know again how the alcohol industry feels...

#CompulsoryLicenses
Will they share their vaccine know-how? Why not?
Will they issue voluntary licenses to manufacturers to scale up production in the global south?

If *you* want the economy to *open*, travel to resume, businesses to flourish, health care systems to not collapse, education to continue, then how do you defend patent monopolies in a pandemic? Direct causal link to reduced access, higher pricing & rationing.

#NoCovidMonopolies
And IF TRIPS waiver proposal does not work because rich countries wish to remain barriers to potential life saving interventions, then in THIS pandemic we expect our @GovernmentZA to issue compulsory licenses.
Benevolence & hope are not enforceable, rights are.
#NoCovidMonopolies
Also, can @ParliamentofRSA pass the Patents Act amendment already.

COVAX limitations aside, @SolidarityRSA is now involved in vaccine$ matters? It is not a public body, not @COVID_19_ZA and has no real oversight. They briefed @ParliamentofRSA but not sure if @AuditorGen_SA is overseeing public funds/ purpose/spend/procurement.

#1Country1Plan
Please, #COVAX IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE WORLDS VACCINE ACCESS & EQUITY PROBLEM, IN MANY CASES, IT IS WORSENING IT. A POKER GAME. WITH $ CHIPS.

IT *LEAVES* POWER WITH PHRMA AND BUSINESS.

Where is the power...? Where the people are not.

#nopandemicprofiteering
#1Country1Plan
Critical issue for the public to appreciate is that #COVAX is not an elected global institution, it is voluntary- a voluntary pooling mechanism that lets you in if you have money & willing to accept patent rights claims, & gives some charity dosages for those deemed very poor.

Actually, *we* should be *angry* because we don't have a functioning health system- insufficient ambulances, beds, oxygen, test kits, PPE, treatment. Poor social relief, ltd IP & price controls, inadequate state capacity, minimal transparency & procurement hijacking.
#Covid19SA
We have not even commenced a proper and comprehensive legislative reform programme, given the impact of #Covid19SA
We have not been clear about the IP tipping point either.
