<P>More than 5 million people have died because of Covid,
<STRONG>many of those needless deaths because of Big Pharma’s deadly
patent monopoly on vaccines and treatments.</STRONG></P>
<P>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
<STRONG>newly formed government in Germany, there's an opportunity
for you to help change the course of this pandemic for
good.</STRONG></P>
<P>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 <STRONG>our
chance to back the pro-waiver politicians</STRONG> and give them the
strength and confidence to act!</P>

the German Government to end the vaccine deadlock and support the
life-saving Covid TRIPS waiver.</A></P>
<P>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.</P>
<P>Whilst some countries are up to giving people their 4th Covid
vaccination, <STRONG>only 12% of Africa’s population has been able
to get two vaccinations.</STRONG> And until everyone everywhere is
vaccinated, there will always be a risk of new and more dangerous
variants of Covid emerging.</P>
<P>The <STRONG>new German Government is driven by their image as the
leader</STRONG> of Europe and the helping hand to all countries.
That’s why this is our chance to really shine the spotlight on
Germany and <STRONG>pressure the government to prioritise people’s
health and help end this pandemic by lifting the vaccine
patents.</STRONG></P>

your voice demanding the German Government stop supporting Big
Pharma’s deadly patent monopoly.</A></P>
<P>Our community has already come together and convinced the
Australian Government to backflip and support the Covid TRIPS
waiver. And <STRONG>over 100 other countries already support the
waiver</STRONG> 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 <STRONG>Germany is in an influential position to
make that a reality.</STRONG></P>
<P>Let’s make sure the newly formed German Government puts people’s
health before the profits of Big Pharma too.</P><IMG alt=""
