The world is watching in horror as India collapses under a gigantic wave
of Coronavirus.

Only 0.2% of vaccines have been given to low income countries, while rich
countries hoard vaccines and pharma companies refuse to suspend their
profit-pumping patents.

But the US and other governments are changing their tune, and we have a
real shot to win -- can you chip in for an urgent campaign to make
vaccines available for all?

John,

Patients gasp for air, but there’s no oxygen to give them. Desperate
families watch their loved ones die in front of them, unable to help.

The world has failed India and the rest of the Global South. Vaccine
deliveries have slowed to a trickle, while pharma companies cash in big on
the Coronavirus, selling to the highest bidder.

But as India’s death toll skyrockets, the US government finally agreed to
force Big Pharma to share their vaccine secrets -- and others are
following. This is our chance.

World leaders have a critical meeting in just days, and there’s just one
government standing in the way: Germany. If we convince them... we win. If
you chip in now, we can pay for stunts, opinion polls, and other
high-impact media tactics to put Angela Merkel and her advisors in the
global crosshairs -- and demand they make the vaccine available to all.
Are you with us?

This is a global pandemic. And the only way that we can fight it is with a
global response. A global response that ensures that vaccines are spread
equally around the world. If we don’t, more deadly variants of the
Coronavirus will inevitably emerge and undermine our current vaccination
efforts.

The only way we can avoid more images like the ones coming from India, is
scaling up production of vaccines and making them available to everyone in
the world. But pharma companies are fighting back hard -- worried about
their bottom line.

An army of pharma lobbyists was dispatched to Europe and the US to make
sure governments were kept in line -- and patents in place. But as the
world sees the consequences, this is changing fast.

Now only Germany is holding the line -- and together we can move them.
Will you chip in to vaccinate the world against Coronavirus?
