Spite!

Big Pharma and the Trump administration don't mind letting a few thousand Americans die if they can make a buck.

Tell Congress: "The more researchers and governments are able to cooperate and share data, the faster we can find treatments and cures for COVID-19. That's why you must require the Trump administration to share all COVID-19 research and data with scientists in other countries, and insist that pharmaceutical corporations who receive funding from taxpayers make their treatments and vaccines available to everyone." ADD YOUR VOICE The Trump administration is accusing Russia and China of trying to steal data from research into the novel coronavirus. In a functional world, every country would already be sharing data and working together to find treatments and cures for COVID-19. International cooperation and data sharing is the key to a faster vaccine. With 1,000 Americans dying every day, delays are deadly. So why is Donald Trump trying to hide American research data from the world? Because Big Pharma stands to gain billions of dollars if it can exclusively produce a vaccine. ADD YOUR NAME: The COVID-19 vaccine search must put people over profits! Big Pharma and the Trump administration don't mind letting a few thousand Americans die if they can make a buck. We need vaccines and treatments to be available worldwide, as soon as they're ready! There is no time to lose: this week, we passed 4 million coronavirus infections in America. All solutions should be on the table, whether they're discovered by researchers in Europe, China, America, or anywhere else. It makes no sense to let your neighbor's house burn down out of spite when the fire threatens the entire neighborhood. Even before the pandemic, Americans were dying because they can't afford their medications. Now, we can see what happens when we place Big Pharma's profits over the needs of people. SIGN NOW: The pandemic is a global crisis that demands global cooperation. American taxpayers are already on the hook for billions of dollars to Big Pharma, with no guarantee that any resulting treatment or vaccine will be affordable to everyone. This isn't about America versus China or Russia: it's about greedy pharmaceutical corporations versus all Americans, and against people's lives around the world. Big Pharma wants to make maximum profits, at any cost to human life, instead of making potential vaccines as affordable and accessible as possible to save lives. This is a grotesque example of the inefficiency and immorality of our current system of rigged monopolies for Big Pharma. This moment is an urgent one. Countless lives are at stake. The more researchers and governments can cooperate and share data, the faster we can find vaccines and cures for COVID-19. Instead, Big Pharma wants to build walls around data, so they can make as much profit as possible. This is no time to make an already tragic situation even worse. We demand that Congress require the Trump administration to share all COVID-19 research and data with scientists in other countries, and force pharmaceutical corporations who are receiving funding from taxpayers to make their treatments and vaccines accessible to everyone.
