Right now, billions of people in the Global South are not getting COVID or Monkeypox vaccines. Vaccine apartheid is an urgent racial justice issue that affects people everywhere. Allowing viruses to run rampant anywhere means millions more deaths and more deadly variants, at enormous cost to the global economy. We could have eradicated Monkeypox already, but the United States allowed millions of vaccine doses to expire, instead of sending where they were needed.

Vaccine development is funded by the public, but drug companies think they have a right to privatize the profits. Joe Biden, right now, already has the power to allow (and help!) countries manufacture the vaccines they need, instead of protecting drug company monopolies on the #PeoplesVaccines.
