TRILLIONS in economic damage.
BILLIONS of people unable to get even one vaccine dose.
MILLIONS dead from Covid.
THOUSANDS of doctors & health experts demanding change.
ONE vile policy to block wider vaccine production during a global pandemic.
We need a #PeoplesVaccine.

For 15 months, the EU, UK & Switzerland have been blocking wider vaccine production globally by obstructing the #TRIPSwaiver, a proposal at the World Trade Organization to temporarily waive some intellectual property rules on vaccines & other health products.
They are LITERALLY preventing vaccine production during a pandemic.
I could give you 1000 blank pieces of paper and a full box of crayons, and you could not draw a dumber policy than that.
Dumb and deadly.
True madness.

The EU/UK/Swiss policy to block wider vaccine production during a pandemic is designed to boost the profits of pharmaceutical monopolies.
That's it.
That's their priority.
Not, "how do we end the suffering?"
But, "how do we help our rich friends make more money?"

For you and me - that is, for all the billions of us normal people who want an end to the global pandemic - this policy is insane.
Blocking wider vaccine production means a longer pandemic.
Who wants that?
Our leaders in the EU, UK & Switzerland. That's who.
Not us.

Prolonging the pandemic means:
☠️ more death;
☠️ more suffering;
☠️ more chances for new variants to emerge.
EU, UK & Swiss leaders are not ignorant. They know very well that these are the consequences of their policy.
This is their DELIBERATE POLICY CHOICE regardless.

The EU in particular has been lying shamelessly about its deadly policy the entire time - again, all for the sake of boosting of pharma monopoly profits...
And our health? Our suffering?
They. Do. Not. Give. A. Damn.

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

Here's the big SECRET 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.

This is a DELIBERATE POLICY of maintaining global vaccine shortage.
The result? Rich governments get the jabs.
➡️ 72% of shots worldwide have been administered in high- & upper-middle-income countries.
➡️ LESS THAN 1% in low-income countries.

If your attitude to this fact is, "oh, well, sucks to be poor, eh?", then - after you think about why basic morality doesn't matter to you - maybe think about how this policy of limiting vaccine production & the endless pandemic that goes with it also affect you.
If the monopolies would produce enough vaccine doses for everyone, they'd have done it by now.
But businesses do not aim to maximise production; they aim to maximise profits.
With 3rd & 4th booster shots, demand is only increasing.
Supply cannot continue to be throttled.

We need more producers around the world to get up to the numbers necessary to address the global pandemic globally.
We need the EU, UK & Switzerland to stop blocking wider production.

Indeed, we're all tired of it...
We're all exhausted by it...
We all want it to end...
All of us apart from our leaders in the EU, UK & Switzerland, whose policy is to prolong the pandemic.

People in Germany are exhausted by it...
How many of them know that Merkel's government, more than any other, drove the EU policy that prolongs the pandemic & extends their suffering?
Will Germany's new government reverse course?

"New daily infections are breaking records in several European countries as the more transmissible Omicron variant continues to spread"
Yet EU policy is still to block wider vaccine production, prolonging the pandemic & making new variants more likely.

It’s worth noting that some leaders in the EU see sense and want the EU to end its deadly policy of blocking wider vaccine production globally.
Please amplify their voices!

Sure, my Dutch friends, you can scream in frustration…
…but better to redirect your energy towards your government & through them the EU to pressure them to stop prolonging the pandemic, as they are currently doing by blocking wider vaccine production.
