*[Enwl-eng] Big Pharma: provide life-saving COVID vaccines at-cost to poorer countries!

[ENWL]

            While Big Pharma rakes in the profits, the poorest countries 
can't afford life-saving COVID-19 vaccines

                 We all know the drill. Pharmaceutical medicines cost an arm 
and a leg because Big Pharma companies claim it's necessary in order to 
compensate them for all the costs of research and experimentation required 
to come up with these treatments in the first place. Under this system, it's 
considered inevitable that some people can afford medications while others 
can't, and must face the consequences. But when it comes to poorer countries 
in the COVID-19 era, such profiteering arguments are morally untenable. A 
murderous pandemic should never be seen as another "ripe opportunity" to 
exort the world's most vulnerable, impoverished people. This is literally 
life or death.

                  COVID-19 is a pandemic that has taken more than 2.3 
million lives worldwide. In this environment, pharmaceutical remedies — 
specifically, vaccines manufactured by giant international conglomerates 
like Pfizer, Moderna, AstraZeneca, and Johnson & Johnson — are absolute 
must-haves. In some nations on earth, it's hard enough to come by clean 
drinking water, let alone clean personal protective equipment like masks and 
gloves. Now, giant multinational corporations are literally dangling a 
miracle inoculation over the heads of citizens in these countries. And 
they're saying "pay up... or else." This is beyond cruel and unethical. Tell 
Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Moderna, and AstraZeneca to do the right thing by 
providing poorer countries with vaccines at-cost — with no profit-gauging 
baked in.

                  Thank you,

                  P.S. Wealthy, industrialized nations are competing to 
accrue as many vaccines as possible, while poorer countries are left behind.
