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

A statement by Friends of the Earth International calling for a temporary waiver of intellectual property rights on COVID-19 vaccines and medical supplies to ensure global equity and a "just recovery."

• Friends of the Earth International advocates for a temporary waiver of intellectual property rights under the WTO's TRIPS Agreement to allow more countries and companies to produce vaccines locally and at a lower cost, which would make them more affordable and available, particularly for the Global South where some may wait until 2023 for vaccination.
• The document highlights severe global vaccine inequality, noting that high-income countries are vaccinating 25 times faster than low-income countries. Specific examples include the Philippines, where less than 1% of the population had been vaccinated, and Africa, which received only 2% of all globally administered vaccine doses.
• The statement criticizes the role of pharmaceutical companies and wealthy nations in prioritizing profits over public health. It notes that while much R&D was publicly funded, companies like Pfizer maintain high profit margins, such as approximately 80% for its vaccine sold at about $39 for two doses.
• The document identifies a divide in international support for the TRIPS waiver: the United States and New Zealand have announced support, joining over 100 other countries, while the United Kingdom, European Union, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Norway, and Switzerland continue to block the proposal.
