Un Vaccin des peuples juste et sans inégalités face à la pandémie de Covid-19 !

Friends of the Earth International calls for the removal of pharmaceutical monopolies and the implementation of a TRIPS waiver to address the 'vaccine apartheid' between high-income and low-income nations. The statement highlights severe disparities in vaccination rates, noting that high-income countries vaccinate 25 times faster than low-income ones, and criticizes wealthy nations and pharmaceutical companies for prioritizing profits over human lives during a global health crisis.

• There is a severe disparity in vaccine distribution, with high-income countries vaccinating 25 times faster than low-income countries. In the Philippines, less than 1% of the population has been vaccinated, and only 2% of all globally administered vaccine doses have reached the African continent.
• A temporary waiver of intellectual property rights, technology, and manufacturing licenses under the WTO TRIPS Agreement would allow more countries and companies to produce vaccines locally at a lower cost, making them more affordable and available, particularly for the Global South.
• Pharmaceutical companies are generating high profits from vaccines developed with public funding; for example, Pfizer sells its COVID-19 vaccine candidate for approximately $39 for two doses, representing an 80% profit margin.
• Several wealthy nations, including the United Kingdom, the European Union, Australia, Japan, Norway, and Switzerland, are identified as blocking the TRIPS waiver to prioritize pharmaceutical profits.
