No matter how much we all wish it were so, the coronavirus pandemic is NOT over:
- The much more contagious Delta variant is now the dominant strain of COVID-19 in the U.S.
- Cases, hospitalizations, and deaths are spiking in many parts of the country.
- Far too many people have refused to get vaccinated (in large part because of irresponsible and unconscionable propaganda being spread by countless Republican politicians and right-wing media degenerates like Fox News’ sadistic Tucker Carlson — who are sacrificing their own followers to advance a Trumpist, neo-fascist agenda).
- Yet state and local officials all across America are lifting commonsense restrictions and ending relief efforts as if the pandemic is all but over, despite the plain evidence staring us right in our faces.
- And it’s all even worse throughout much of the world.
There is, to state the obvious, A LOT of work still to do.
One thing we need to do — and fast — is put pressure on Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson to share their vaccine technology with the world. This will help save millions of lives around the globe and minimize the risk of even worse variants making their way to America.
Tell the CEOs of Moderna, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson:
Share your vaccine recipes and know-how with the world — to save millions of lives around the globe and to reduce the risk of even worse variants making their way to America.
Add your name.
Thanks for taking action.
For progress,
- Robert Weissman, President of Public Citizen
P.S. For half a century, Public Citizen has been advancing policies that put the needs of everyday Americans before the greed of billionaires and Big Business. That legacy of progress and that ongoing work could not matter more right now, as our nation transitions to a Joe Biden presidency that will be as progressive as we — you and Public Citizen, together — make it. We’re also busy undoing all the damage Trump did. And, like so many nonprofits and small businesses, we continue to experience financial strain related to the coronavirus pandemic. If you can, please make an emergency donation today to support the critical work we’re doing together or even join our popular Monthly Giving program. Thank you.
