*[Enwl-eng] India’s covid collapse

[ENWL]

                        The world is watching in horror as India collapses 
under a gigantic wave of Coronavirus.

                        Only 0.2% of vaccines have been given to low income 
countries, while rich countries hoard vaccines and pharma companies refuse 
to suspend their profit-pumping patents.

                        But the US and other governments are changing their 
tune, and we have a real shot to win -- can you chip in for an urgent 
campaign to make vaccines available for all?

            Patients gasp for air, but there’s no oxygen to give them. 
Desperate families watch their loved one die in front of them, unable to 
help.

            The world has failed India and the rest of the Global South. 
Vaccine deliveries have slowed to a trickle, while pharma companies cash in 
big on the Coronavirus, selling to the highest bidder.

            But as India’s death toll skyrockets, the US government finally 
agreed to force Big Pharma to share their vaccine secrets -- and others are 
following. This is our chance.

            World leaders have a critical meeting in just days, and there’s 
just one government standing in the way: Germany. If we convince them...we 
win. If you chip in now, we can pay for stunts, opinion polls, and other 
high-impact media tactics to put Angela Merkel and her advisors in the 
global crosshairs -- and demand they make the vaccine available to all. Are 
you with us?

            This is a global pandemic. And the only way that we can fight it 
is with a global response. A global response that ensures that vaccines are 
spread equally around the world. If we don’t, more deadly variants of the 
Coronavirus will inevitably emerge and undermine our current vaccination 
efforts.

            The only way we can avoid more images like the ones coming from 
India, is scaling up production of vaccines and making them available to 
everyone in the world. But pharma companies are fighting back hard --  
worried about their bottom line.

            An army of pharma lobbyists was dispatched to Europe and the US 
to make sure governments were kept in line -- and patents in place. But as 
the world sees the consequences, this is changing fast.

            Now only Germany is holding the line -- and together we can move 
them. Will you chip in to vaccinate the world against Coronavirus?
