TWITTER ACTION! For a #PeoplesVaccine
We need your help with the campaign this week!
Can you take 10 seconds to encourage your TDs to urge the Irish government to meet with Members of the People’s Vaccine Alliance to discuss the TRIPS waiver and CTAP?
Negotiations for a real solution are ongoing. So now is the time for the Irish government to show support and work to address the global Covid-19 vaccine inequity crisis.
So far our government has towed the line of the pharmaceutical industry and the EU, even though 73 percent of the world haven’t received any vaccine doses yet - leaving them vulnerable and at risk. We need a #Peoplesvaccine to address this global injustice.
Help us amplify our call for a People’s Vaccine and for the Irish government to meet with Alliance Members in three easy steps:
- Visit our website
- Select your province and constituency
- Click to tweet.
We need public pressure to ensure the Irish government does the right thing!
Solidarity, in an inter-dependent world, must mean . . . standing shoulder to shoulder with those in other countries, especially poorer nations with fewer financial resources, so that, for example, vaccines are made available, accessible and affordable for all.— President of Ireland, Michael D. Higgins
Global access to vaccines will only be possible if many more vaccine manufacturers are permitted to produce vaccines and if pharmaceutical companies agree to share their recipes and know-how.
