Getting vaccinated is, "the best way to stay out of the hospital".

It's inhuman that the EU, UK & Switzerland are blocking wider production of vaccines globally, so BILLIONS of people have not been able to get even one dose yet.

It's inhuman that the EU, UK & Switzerland are blocking wider production of vaccines globally, so BILLIONS of people have not been able to get even one dose yet.
Welcome to Year 3 of the pandemic…
Exhausted yet?
Want it to be over?
I do.
If only our leaders in the EU, UK & Switzerland felt the same way.
Instead, they have prioritised pharma monopoly profits and are deliberately prolonging the pandemic.

For 15 months, 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.
LITERALLY preventing vaccine production during a pandemic.
Madness.

Madness.
The EU's policy prolongs the pandemic for us all, meaning:
☠️ more death;
☠️ more suffering;
☠️ more chances for new variants to emerge.
EU leaders know full well that these are the consequences of their policy.
This is their DELIBERATE POLICY CHOICE regardless.

What's worse, the EU has been outright lying about its deadly policy the entire time, all for the sake of boosting of pharma monopoly profits...

Perhaps the worst EU lie has been about "developing countries" not being able to make the new mRNA vaccines.
Experts have exposed that lie, most recently in a new report listing OVER 100 COMPANIES that could make mRNA vaccines if they were allowed to.

Here's the SECRET that the pharma monopolies & their EU protectors don't want you to know:
📢 Of all the vaccine technologies that are in use today, the oldest are in fact the hardest to make, and the newest – mRNA vaccines – the easiest.

And the result of the EU's POLICY of maintaining the global vaccine shortage?
➡️ About 72% of shots worldwide have been administered in high- and upper-middle-income countries.
➡️ LESS THAN 1% of doses have been administered in low-income countries.

If you think that doesn't affect you, because you've been vaccinated and got the booster...
...then think again.
...then think again.
EU leaders keep telling people to get vaccinated, but they undermine their own arguments about the importance & effectiveness of vaccines when they've been denying vaccines to billions from the beginning.

If EU leaders would stop blocking wider vaccine production globally...
If they supported the #TRIPSwaiver at the WTO...
They would send a consistent signal that:
1⃣ vaccines are an essential tool in fighting the virus;
2⃣ everyone, everywhere should be able to get one.

Until then, their message is an ugly muddle, saying:
We'll punish people at home for not getting the vaccine.
We'll punish people abroad by not allowing them access to the vaccine.
We'll punish people at home for not getting the vaccine.
We'll punish people abroad by not allowing them access to the vaccine.
🌍 The pandemic is global.
EU leaders can't honestly push vaccines at home while blocking vaccine production abroad.
