The @EU_Commission has been keeping its dealings with pharma monopolies secret to try to hide the fact that they are prioritising pharma profits over the needs of humanity: literally blocking wider vaccine production globally to restrict supply during a global pandemic.

The arrogance of the @EU_commission in trying to hide what it's doing is bad.
What it's trying to hide is even worse...

For nearly 16 months, the EU has been blocking & delaying wider vaccine production globally by obstructing the #TRIPSwaiver, a proposal to temporarily lift some intellectual property rules on vaccines & other health products.
Over 100 countries: reliefweb.int/report/world/o…
The European Parliament: theparliamentmagazine.eu/news/article/m…
The head of the WHO: theguardian.com/world/2021/mar…
Medical experts: thelancet.com/journals/lance…
And the scientific community: nature.com/articles/d4158…
have called for the #TRIPSwaiver.

But the European Commission has ignored all of them, preferring arrogance & secrecy in pursuing its sole aim of delivering higher profits to pharma monopolies.
People talk about "anti-vaxers" rejecting the science...
But the @EU_Commission's rejection of science on vaccines has been far worse.
Nothing can be more anti-science than blocking the production of vaccines & leaving billions without even one jab during a global pandemic.

The science says that we should be vaccinating as many people as possible, as quickly as possible.
The European Commission says we should be boosting pharma monopoly profits as much as possible, even to the point of letting millions more people die in a prolonged pandemic.

The @EU_Commission has not only been trying to hide its secret dealings with the pharma monopolies, it has also been lying and pushing misinformation about its anti-science policies on vaccines for 16 months.

The EU pushes out lies about how it's helping:
When it's not:
EU Commissioners lie outright about the facts (or, if you want to be generous, are woefully ignorant of the facts):

Understand that the European Commission negotiates on behalf of the EU at the WTO, where it is working solely for pharma monopolies by blocking the #TRIPSwaiver.
Any EU member state could try to change the EU's deadly policy via the EU Council. But they're silent. Complicit.

Silence.
Secrecy.
And the single goal of boosting profits for pharma monopolies.
That's been the EU's approach to the global pandemic.

Now, the people at the European Commission are not stupid.
They know that blocking wider vaccine production means a longer pandemic, so:
💀 more death;
💀 more suffering;
💀 more time for new variants to emerge.
They simply don't care. Because pharma profits come first.

The EU's policy of blocking wider vaccine production during a global pandemic is DELIBERATE. It is a conscious choice, a decision taken with full knowledge of the deadly consequences.
You can see why the @EU_Commission wants to keep its policy of deliberately throttling global vaccine production a secret...
News on scientific consensus that the arrogant @EU_commission is trying to ignore...

The European Ombudsman, whose job is to hold EU institutions to account, said the @eu_Commission’s failure amounted to “maladministration” & “falls short of reasonable expectations of transparency and administrative standards…”
At least that.
