One wonders: Why is only 1 company in India making AZ vaccine? why are none making Moderna or Pfizer? Well, it's about monopolies you see... @Laurie_Garrett we can agree Modi govt failure is key and that it is ALSO about patents AND tech transfer all at once. #Complexity

The #vaccine shortage in #India is not about patents or WTO -- India is the world's #1 vaccine maker. It's about the incompetence of the Modi govt & failure to order #COVID19 vaccines, according to CEO of India's Serum Inst.

Slovakia’s drug regulator previously rejected a batch of Sputnik V for being substantively different than the batches reported in Lancet. The EMA has also said they have insufficient safety and QC data to authorize it in the EU.

The ruling from Brazil’s health agency cited a range of concerns including what it said was a lack of quality control and efficacy data.

I keep thinking about the inspiring AIDS activists who first challenged TRIPS; how research, films and books rightly recognize the activists as heroes & big pharma/WTO as villains. Wouldn't world and health leaders rather be heroes than villains?

Pfizer and Moderna are expected to make billions in revenue this year. It’s time all vaccine producers share their IP, data and know-how with the rest of the world.

Oh the paternalism and arrogance and dismissiveness of "there's only so many (safe) vaccine factories in the world" nonsense - breathtaking. Glad it's caught on tape. #VaccinEquity

But what the business class travellers fail to realize is that the plane will only take off after ALL passengers board and have their seat belts on. As long as there is vaccine INequity, this pandemic will not end, neither for the rich, nor for the poor.

Watching pictures of Americans, British, Canadians get vaccinated is like waiting in economy line & watching business class board. By the time economy class boards, business class has their seat belts on, drinking champagne, munching warm cashews, looking at the menu. #inequity

Before #COVID19, the thinking in global health was that travel measures carried harms for little benefit. Then the pandemic happened and turned that upside down. Why? I took a look at Vietnam, a country of 97 million with 2700 Covid cases & 35 deaths 🧵 https://t.co/wE8QNrrvGa

How the country has kept coronavirus deaths to just 35, and grew its economy in 2020.

"It's terrifying" - as Myanmar's health care system collapses post-coup, literally millions left without needed treatments and decades of progress with diseases like TB & HIV/AIDS quickly being undone (not to mention whatever Covid wave might come next)

Myanmar's medical workers are finding themselves torn between their patients and a military government.
