Our call for a People's Vaccine is again on
fire! We're nearly 1 million -- Nobel Laureates, scientists, and now artists
like George Clooney, Sharon Stone, Forest Whitaker are joining hands with
citizens from around the world to demand Covid vaccines and treatments
become accessible to all, not just the richest countries.
More than 100 governments already endorse an
emergency proposal that would allow production to be massively scaled up,
and experts say that public pressure can help persuade persuade the US and
other key countries to join and tip the balance!
Now share this global call with your
friends, family, and groups on WhatsApp -- Avaaz will work with this
incredible platform of global voices to ensure we are heard all over the
media - and in the corridors of power, ahead of a crucial meeting later this
month.

To world leaders, pharmaceutical companies,
and member countries of the World Trade Organization:
We call on you to urgently ensure access to
lifesaving Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and equipment for everyone in the
world. Patents should be lifted, technological knowledge shared freely and
openly, and no profiteering allowed during this pandemic. Governments,
scientists and pharmaceutical companies must cooperate and combine resources
to ensure no one is left behind. The pandemic will not be over, until it’s
over everywhere.

More about the campaign:
Covid vaccines could save millions of
lives -- but there's a catch.
The vaccines are owned by Big Pharma giants
and they can’t produce enough for everyone fast -- the world's richest
countries have already bought most of the doses, leaving developing nations
facing a massive shortfall.
But it doesn't have to be like this.
Governments could agree this month on a global plan to suspend all patents
for Covid-19 vaccines, allowing production to be massively scaled up.
Let's make it happen -- share this urgent
appeal on WhatsApp and Facebook, to join Nobel Laureate Dr. Muhammad Yunus,
George Clooney, Annie Lennox, Forest Whitaker, Sharon Stone... and 1 million
people from around the world, to demand vaccines for all:

Patents must be lifted -- and it's happened
before. In 2001, after years of public pressure, the countries of the world
agreed to free HIV/Aids treatments from patents, allowing affordable,
generic versions to be made, saving millions of lives. Now they must do it
again.
India and South Africa, supported by more
than 100 nations, have tabled an emergency proposal at the World Trade
Organisation to temporarily suspend the patents for Covid-related vaccines
and treatments, until the pandemic is over.
Governments are meeting again soon - so let’s
create a huge wave of public support to help pass this emergency proposal,
and make Covid treatments available to everyone!
With hope and determination,
