NEW: Moderna is charging poor nations $29 per vaccine dose—far more than rich nations pay—while blocking African scientists from using its technology.
It is making billions overcharging for a vaccine that U.S. taxpayers helped create.
@POTUS must end this obscene profiteering.

'The global vaccine rollout isn't so different to how one of Britain’s imperial govts would have handled the crisis 200 yrs ago: a heavy dose of racism, and 'let the market decide' who lives & who dies.' Me in @tribunemagazine#TRIPSWaiver#PeoplesVaccine https://t.co/bZzkUAyBzV
#HST440 Well done presentation!it highlighted how gender inequalities exist not only in access to healthcare but rather in medical research ,and how most drugs in use were approved based on clinical trial conducted on men
Today my group & I presented on race & gender inequalities in healthcare for our #HST440 seminar. As a woman of color, reading the research on these disparities is enraging. This report by @GovCanHealth thoroughly describes such issues & recommendations https://t.co/aOv0wUZri6
#HST440 ���prevented low and middle-income countries from having equitable access to Covid-19 vaccines. We have created the conditions for Nu variant to emerge’ # TRIPS Waiver
@CL_HST440 @katnguyenHST440 @KTsiandoulas @joycegc13 @JessicaBuzzie #HST440 Yes, there should be a universal protection for Whistleblowers to empower them to speak up as they are important to safeguard public health.
