To the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, and all governments, members of the World Trade Organisation:
As global citizens we call on you to urgently ensure access to lifesaving Covid-19 vaccines, treatments and equipment for everyone in the world. Patents should be lifted, technological knowledge shared freely and openly, and no profiteering allowed during this pandemic. Governments, scientists and pharmaceutical companies must cooperate and combine resources to ensure no one is left behind. The pandemic will not be over, until it’s over everywhere.
The richest countries just bought most of the Covid-19 vaccines for themselves! Sign the urgent petition to demand that affordable Covid vaccines become accessible for everyone in the world:

To the President of the European Commission Ursula Von der Leyen, Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis, and all governments, members of the World Trade Organisation:
Covid vaccines could save millions of lives -- but there's a catch.
The vaccines are owned by Big Pharma giants and they can’t produce enough for everyone fast -- the world's richest countries have already bought most of the doses, leaving poorer countries facing a massive shortfall.
But it doesn't have to be like this. In days, governments will vote on a global plan to suspend all patents for Covid-19 vaccines, allowing production to be massively scaled up. Even the poorest could have access!
Let's make it happen! Add your name to demand vaccines for all, starting by scrapping the patents, and then pass this on -- when we reach 1 million signatures, Avaaz will deliver our call to the crucial summit.
