🇦🇹 A group of grandmas and grandpas started yesterday a 3 day vigil in Vienna to commemorate the Covid-19 deaths.
They continue the protest until Wednesday, when a crucial @wto meeting takes place.

📣 'Patents Kill' & 'Free the Patents, end the pandemic'

Schril contrast: terwijl PM @alexanderdecroo de farma industrie in 🇧🇪 bejubeld, protesteert men in Zuid-Afrika tegen Belgische blokkade van de #tripswaiver. Wereldwijd ontbreken #covid19 behandelingen, test en vaccins nog steeds massaal. #Stateoftheunion #vivaldi @BelgiumPretoria

Transparency, @EU_Commission style

[Andrew Goldstein @andrewmakebluesky.bsky.social @AndrewMakeTweet]

Groups worldwide called on @EU_Commission to act to #EndVaccineApartheid.

In this months overdue response from @IamPerHaugaard @vonderleyen, they say they share the goal of global vaccine equity but:
– Won't push patent waiver
– Are donating doses at a snail's pace

Unacceptable

'Commerc. healthcare systems are less effective in responding to crises ... and could put at risk the lives of the population they serve'. Sharing this report by @GIESCR on Italy’s experience during Cov.19 & the limits of privatisation in healthcare

"The level of colonial mindset to say 'we can't give you something because we're afraid you won't use it,' I mean, seriously? In the middle of a pandemic?"

@WHO's @DrMikeRyan blasts those worried about donated vaccines being "wasted" in poorer countries with delivery challenges.

🙌 Notre campagne fonctionne ! Le 9 juin, le Parlement européen a adopté une résolution en faveur de la levée temporaire des brevets sur les vaccins et traitements COVID-19.

😷 Cela est nécessaire pour disposer rapidement de vaccins plus nombreux et moins chers, et ainsi empêcher l'apparition de nouveaux variants du virus. Nous ne devrions pas payer pour les profits de Big Pharma.

😷 This is necessary to quickly have more, cheaper vaccines, and thus prevent new variants of the virus. We should not pay for Big Pharma's profits.

💉 Mais la Commission européenne continue de bloquer la suspension. Nous avons donc encore un long chemin à parcourir.
