From the start, the EU has been BLOCKING wider vaccine production globally by obstructing the #TRIPSwaiver, a proposal to temporarily waive some intellectual property rules on vaccines & other health products. This:
⚕️ goes against expert advice, and
☠️ prolongs the pandemic

"Scientists know that this cycle will prolong the pandemic — but world leaders are still failing to choose the fastest path out."
We need the #TRIPSwaiver for a #PeoplesVaccine.

Only 46% of the world is fully vaccinated.
In many countries, it's less than 10%.
BILLIONS of people have not even had one dose yet.
👉 The top reason is the vaccine shortage caused by the EU, UK & others blocking wider vaccine production globally.

EU leaders say they will keep blocking wider vaccine production globally as long as they can.
Over 5 million dead.
BILLIONS unable to get even one jab.
Yet enforcing a vaccine shortage during a global pandemic remains the policy.
Deadly madness.

Humanity: Hey, we’re dying here.
EU: Yes, it’s a global pandemic, but there's a vaccine for it.
Humanity: Great! So, you’re making sure everyone gets the vaccine globally, right?
EU: No, we’re supporting pharma monopolies so they get maximum profit from it.

EU: And we're going to tell the world that prolonging the pandemic by restricting the production of vaccines & other meds is good for you! It's human-rights-based & everything!
Humanity: But that's simply not true.
EU: Sure, but... PROFITS!

The EU has been lying about its role in the global pandemic from the start.
Here's the truth: the EU has been DELIBERATELY BLOCKING wider vaccine production during a global pandemic to help boost the profits of the pharma monopolies.

The EU's policy of blocking wider vaccine production during a global pandemic is EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE of a human rights-based approach.
It is absolutely sickening that they tried to use #HumanRightsDay to further spread their deceitful propaganda.

The EU policy of BLOCKING wider vaccine production globally is prolonging the pandemic, meaning:
☠️ more death;
☠️ more suffering; and
☠️ more chances for new variants to emerge.
This is not by chance or accident.
This is by a DELIBERATE POLICY decision.

EU leaders knew that the consequences of their profits-over-humanity policy would be a longer pandemic and more death & suffering.
They're not idiots.
They knew this would happen.
They did it anyway.

EU leaders spat on the science to the detriment of us all.
It really is that simple.
