Igniting political action to put lifesaving HIV prevention meds, and now COVID-19 medications, in the hands of the people who need it most. #blacklivesmatter

Totally disingenuous argument from the CEO of @moderna_tx. Tech transfer for mRNA vaccines works to rapidly scale up production, even when there is no available manufacturing capacity. How do we know? This is the exact approach Moderna *itself* used to scale their production🧵 Let's start from the beginning. On January 23, 2020, Moderna got $65 million from the non-profit @CEPIvaccines to produce a small amount of doses to test the COVID vaccine they developed with @NIH in phase 1 trials. investors.modernatx.com/news-releases/…

In Nov we learned that the 1st mRNA vaccine was 95% effective for COVID. Since then the # of people who’ve died has more than doubled. Yesterday's #TRIPS news is a start. Here are next steps @joebiden must take to end the pandemic: 🧵 We have developed a comprehensive plan on how we could rapidly scale mRNA vaccine production and have shared it with the administration since Feb. More than a 100 days into his admin, this president still has not developed a plan for global vaccination. prep4all.org/news/hit-hard-…

Since December, we have been warning everyone that would listen that the world's overreliance on adenoviral vectored vaccines for COVID-19 was dangerous. This news from 🇿🇦 shows why. Mini- 🧵: dailymaverick.co.za/article/2021-0… As the virus mutates, we will need to change the design of the vaccine to combat new variants. But adenovirus vaccines are particularly challenging to develop these new variant busting boosters for two reasons.

We w/@ICAP_ColumbiaU, published about our plan to for global vaccination for COVID by end of 2021. The plan relies on producing 16 billion doses of a highly effective mRNA vaccine at <$3 a jab, coupled w/ resources to ensure global distribution. 🧵1/24 nytimes.com/2021/01/12/opi… Right now, even if everything w/ production goes perfectly, and EVERY leading vaccine candidate proves to be equally effective, current vaccine production will be insufficient to ensure universal global vaccination for COVID-19. 2/24

The reason we need to talk about a #PeoplesVaccine has everything to do with access. If the #HIV epidemic has taught us anything, it’s that new medical tools are useless unless people can get them (1/?) We’ve had #PrEP and have known about #TasP since 2012, and yet 1.7 million people globally are newly infected with HIV every year because they cannot access the care they need (2/?)

(1/10) THREAD: After months of pressure, the federal government just sued @GileadSciences over their infringement of patents for two medications used to prevent HIV (PrEP). Have questions on how this happened and what it means? Follow along: #BreakThePatent @GileadSciences (2/10) PrEP is an extraordinarily effective treatment. Taking a pill once a day can reduce the risk of HIV transmission by more than 99%: a more effective treatment than many vaccines.
