We now know that the Omicron variant was in Europe before South Africa, so please stop saying the travel ban is for “protection” when it’s lazy racism & a distraction from the fact we're still withholding vaccine patents & allowing this virus to further mutate worldwide.
Exciting news in the global fight against #malaria! The Gavi Board has just approved a new vaccination programme for Gavi-supported countries in sub-Saharan Africa which could save tens of thousands of lives every year! https://t.co/T4GyRx7uPh #VaccinesWork#StopMalaria
We call on all countries to take rational, proportional risk-reduction measures, in keeping with the International Health Regulations. Blanket travel bans will not prevent the international spread of Omicron, and they place a heavy burden on lives and livelihoods. #COVID19
A big thanks to the people of South Africa for their transparency and making their data publicly available.
Without your hard work and dedication, the entire world would be significantly further behind in the fight against Omicron.
Breaking News: The WHO approved the first ever malaria vaccine, which could save tens of thousands of children in sub-Saharan Africa. The quest for this vaccine has been underway for a hundred years, a WHO official said, and is a "historic event." https://t.co/i1hcYBhbvb
The myth that the public just needs to be more green to save Planet Earth allows these fossil fuel companies to deflect blame.
I can use as many reusable shopping bags as I like and it won’t change the fact that there’s a raging oil fire in the middle of the fucking ocean.
We're destabilizing the planet. Meanwhile our leaders continue to destroy present and future living conditions - opening new pipelines, oilfields and investing fantasy amounts into fossil fuel infrastructure, despite all the beautiful words.
