How can we save +1 million lives & add $9 trillion to the global economy? Build #mRNA manufacturing capacity in #Africa and around the world. To vaccinate everyone, everywhere. @PeoplesVaccine

It’s almost 1 year since we shared our open letter with Dr. @NOIweala reminding her that “only solidarity can yield positive results”. We align with this call asking the @wto to deliver a bold & impactful realization on the #TRIPSwaiver

More than 200 CSOs call on @NOIweala @_AnabelG.
Time @wto to deliver a bold and meaningful outcome on #TRIPSWaiver that will concretely contribute to enabling production in and expanding supply options towards realizing equitable access. #MC12 #COVID19

Moderna has filed patents which threaten to derail WHO plans to make more Covid-19 vaccines in Africa.
We've joined 60+ organisations demanding that @Moderna_tx drops these patents and instead supports the South Africa vaccine hub.

Govts risk trapping the 🌍 in an endless cycle of variants, boosters, restrictions & lockdowns if we continue this way.
Low & middle-income countries MUST be allowed to manufacture vaccines themselves.
Let's end #VaccineApartheid - for the sake of us all.

We reiterate our earlier position to @MOH_Kenya, it is paramount to educate the population on vaccines, not to coerce them. The measures announced yesterday lock out Kenyans from essential services and violate basic constitutional rights. Read our full statement below.
We reiterate our position on the recently imposed #VaccinationMandate, in a country that has not met a vaccination target of at least half it's population – only 9.2 million vaccinated - is a fallacious and irrational attempt to sustain the pandemic.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and engaged with us all week long as we explored the possibility of recovery, a people’s vaccine as a precedent for free and accessible healthcare system and movement building.
We collectively stand in solidarity.

As a commitment, building on all the important work that is being done by advocates for a #PeoplesVaccine globally, we will work on the insights and opinion shared during this roundtable to draft a #GlobalSouth policy recommendation,

So much excitement, we're decided to share our last session's schedule earlier than planned so you can all slot them in your calendars.
Tomorrow we'll be exploring and tracing just recoveries from #COVID and what people-centered systems can/should look like.

We are also excited to be discussing Ayah's groundbreaking article, published in @MadaMasr, discussing 'Palestine and the case for abolitionist medicine'. Have a read here and join us during the public Q&A session after the discussion.

Our final fireside chat of the #GlobalSouthCalls People's Vaccine Roundtable is here. Co-convened by @AlShabaka we are excited to learn the possibilities of a #PeoplesVaccine as a portal towards the attainment of liberation and freedom from colonial violence and oppression.
Tomorrow, we'll also be convening w/ @AlShabaka to explore the imperative intersections of health accessibility & freedom. As @vaccineke, we believe that the demand for freedom from occupation is a public health issue.
