John,

It’s been nearly two years since the US went into COVID lockdown, and due to new variants like Delta and Omicron, current infection rates are orders of magnitude higher than they were in 2020. To stop the rise of new COVID variants and finally put an end to the pandemic, pharmaceutical monopolies must no longer be allowed to artificially restrict the availability of vaccines and treatments around the world. Tell your representatives in DC to stand up to Big Pharma by cosponsoring the "End the Pandemic Now" Resolution.

Public health experts have been warning since the start of the pandemic that the US will not be safe from new COVID variants until vaccines, diagnostic tools, and treatments are readily available throughout the world. Yet, roughly two years into the crisis, less than 8% of people in low-income nations have had at least one shot.

During this September’s United Nations General Assembly, President Biden led other heads of state in committing to vaccinate 70% of the world’s population by the fall of 2022. The End the Pandemic Now resolution provides a concrete plan for meeting that goal and lays out a three-part program of:

Unlocking intellectual property barriers via a temporary waiver of the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules now standing in the way of production increases.
Require sharing of vaccine formulas and know-how with qualified producers around the world to speed up more production.
Providing financial support for regional vaccine manufacturing hubs.

Only decisive leadership on the part of the government can prevent the United States and the world from facing an endless cycle of new COVID variants. We must eliminate the ongoing health, economic, and social suffering that the lingering pandemic is causing. Tell your lawmakers to endorse the End the Pandemic Now resolution.

For a COVID-free future,
