7th parallel #VaccineRolloutSA

@SAHPRA1 please explain how this is taking place, with what vaccine stock, from where? Why?
And @DIRCO_ZA @PresidencyZA

The French blocked TRIPS WAIVER & greater access in global south, but vaccinates its own, here, first?
@peoplesvaccine @OTMeds Using JandJ: How was this authorised @SAHPRA1 ?

So we have different stock for different nationals from MNC that refuses full licenses/ cannot meet our domestic supply needs/cost us 2 mill. doses??
Where did stock come *from* ?

Science is not winning.

'Mass' vaccination sites require enough vaccines🧪

Vaccine supplies & deliveries require transparent contracts📚

1% of a 32 mill vaccine promise is not a good or sustainable way forward.⏳

We need a #PeoplesVaccine - share tech, trf know-how, pass the #TRIPSwaiver -urgently🔊 We need the 2 million immediately, overdue.
30 million after.

If not, then demand cannot be met, which means, next steps v. J&J.

*And, 300k is 1%. 1%!

#1Country1Plan Aim for 67% of population. First HCWs, then elderly and those with co-morbidities.

Can the media rather also interview and question the front runner vaccine companies please, about pricing, access, advance orders and tech transfer or pooling- we dont need to really know again how the alcohol industry feels...

#CompulsoryLicenses Will they share their vaccine know-how? Why not?

If *you* want the economy to *open*, travel to resume, businesses to flourish, health care systems to not collapse, education to continue, then how do you defend patent monopolies in a pandemic? Direct causal link to reduced access, higher pricing & rationing.

#NoCovidMonopolies And IF TRIPS waiver proposal does not work because rich countries wish to remain barriers to potential life saving interventions, then in THIS pandemic we expect our @GovernmentZA to issue compulsory licenses.
Benevolence & hope are not enforceable, rights are.

COVAX limitations aside, @SolidarityRSA is now involved in vaccine$ matters? It is not a public body, not @COVID_19_ZA and has no real oversight. They briefed @ParliamentofRSA but not sure if @AuditorGen_SA is overseeing public funds/ purpose/spend/procurement.

#1Country1Plan Please, #COVAX IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE WORLDS VACCINE ACCESS & EQUITY PROBLEM, IN MANY CASES, IT IS WORSENING IT. A POKER GAME. WITH $ CHIPS.

IT *LEAVES* POWER WITH PHRMA AND BUSINESS.

Where is the power...? Where the people are not.

Actually, *we* should be *angry* because we don't have a functioning health system- insufficient ambulances, beds, oxygen, test kits, PPE, treatment. Poor social relief, ltd IP & price controls, inadequate state capacity, minimal transparency & procurement hijacking.
#Covid19SA We have not even commenced a proper and comprehensive legislative reform programme, given the impact of #Covid19SA
