We are in the 5th year of a global pandemic that won’t go away & the current wave was more significant than the 4th so we can't assume COVID will get less severe over time. Everyone is tired of mitigations so why are public authorities not rolling out #CleanAir, ventilation & mandating checks on air quality/ There's a lot to do re global vaccine equity. And until these are place, big gatherings should still mandate testing/some masking?

RT by @EU_Partnerships: Today, we welcome the President of @EU_Commission @vonderleyen who is visiting 🇷🇼Rwanda for the launch of the @BioNTech_Group manufacturing site – a testament to 🇪🇺EU’s strong backing to #VaccineEquity in the continent. #UVdLinRwanda

Critically, there are safe and effective vaccines for preventing carcinogenic HPV infection.
Thus, cervical cancer is essentially preventable.
But #VaccineEquity remains a huge issue for low-income countries. 6/8

‘Profiteering’ of Covid pandemic must never be repeated, world figures warn https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/mar/11/profiteering-of-covid-pandemic-must-never-be-repeated-world-figures-warn #COVID19 #access2meds #vaccineequity #nationalism #profiteering The Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz, former first lady of South Africa and Mozambique Graça Machel and former UN secretary general Ban Ki-moon are among nearly 200 signatories to a letter calling on governments to “never again” allow “profiteering and nationalism” to come before the needs of humanity, in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.

Pfizer made a record $100 billion in 2022, almost $57 billion of which was from its #COVID-19 vaccine and Paxlovid.
Yet they still want to charge people $130 per dose, and refuse to share vaccines and treatments with the world.

You could have made $49 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Pfizer did last year.

J&J and Novavax playing hard with @gavi and #Covax
"Drug companies have so far declined to refund $US1.4 billion in advance payments ... confidential documents obtained by @nytimes"

Watching how this has played out with secret commercial-in-confidence deals and big profits at every turn..

FDA COVID Booster strategy public comments due today 1/25! The evidence is clear - we need boosters at least every 6 months, as long as we allow high levels of COVID spread in the US. COVID is not seasonal, and a yearly approach won't cut it. Let the FDA know we need biannual boosters. https://peoplescdc.substack.com/p/tell-the-fda-we-need-boosters-authorized #CovidIsNotOver #VaccineEquity #ScienceOverPolitics

Personally I'd welcome more testing and tracing and some consistent thoughtful policies on international travel combined with #VaccineEquity internationally. But I'd say public health has long shown that inconsistently applied measures based on group membership is not how you fight infectious disease.

#VaccineEquity fails again. As history repeats itself.
#Pfizer and #GSK are racing to get approval in the US for first-ever vaccines against the respiratory syncytial virus (#RSV), reports Rachel Fairbank in @Nature
RSV causes a substantial burden of infant disease in low-income and middle-income countries.

During 2020-22 I connected with four colleagues to make the case for a waiver of intellectual property rights #TRIPSwaiver so more vaccines could be produced in times of catastrophic need. #VaccineEquity
I met two co-authors online. Intense outreach through seminars, hearings and debate followed. Work done by us and countless others might still transform #AccesstoMedicines
That was a gift of #Twitter.
Now I never see tweets from my collaborators. The damage to links unmade is incalculable.

I have just boosted a call from Health Justice Initiative in South Africa calling for donations on #givingtuesday

Introducing myself using hashtags. I teach and research on #intellectualproperty rights, mostly #patents. I am interested in use and circulation of #geneticresources and have worked on the #BBNJ Agreement #NagoyaProtocol and #ABS mechanisms. #VaccineEquity and #pharmapatents remain a preoccupation as is #IP across the #lawanddevelopment divide. I enjoy #teaching on the #LLB and #LLM.
