5 million people have already died from Covid -- and Germany is still in
lock-step with patent-owners refusing to share vaccines and treatments.

Tell Germany's new government to put people before profits, and stop
blocking the pandemic patent waiver.

John,

More than 5 million people have died because of Covid, many of those
needless deaths because of Big Pharma’s deadly patent monopoly on vaccines
and treatments.

Germany is a big blocker of the TRIPS waiver – a proposal that would allow
Covid vaccine patents to be shared which would help speed up the
manufacturing of life-saving treatments. But with a newly formed
government in Germany, there's an opportunity for you to help change the
course of this pandemic for good.

An internal battle is playing out in the new German Government right now
between politicians in the pockets of Big Pharma and politicians who
support the life-saving waiver. Now’s our chance to back the pro-waiver
politicians and give them the strength and confidence to act!

[ [link removed] ]Tell the German Government to end the vaccine deadlock and support the
life-saving Covid TRIPS waiver.

The European and African Union Summit is happening right now. Both
continents want to discuss how to work together to increase access to
Covid vaccines and treatments.

Whilst some countries are up to giving people their 4th Covid vaccination,
only 12% of Africa’s population has been able to get two vaccinations. And
until everyone everywhere is vaccinated, there will always be a risk of
new and more dangerous variants of Covid emerging.

The new German Government is driven by their image as the leader of Europe
and the helping hand to all countries. That’s why this is our chance to
really shine the spotlight on Germany and pressure the government to
prioritise people’s health and help end this pandemic by lifting the
vaccine patents.

Pharma’s deadly patent monopoly.

Our community has already come together and convinced the Australian
Government to backflip and support the Covid TRIPS waiver. And over 100
other countries already support the waiver including the US, France, Italy
and Spain. In order for the waiver to become a reality the European Union
must support the waiver too, and Germany is in an influential position to
make that a reality.

Let’s make sure the newly formed German Government puts people’s health
before the profits of Big Pharma too.
