Libertarian thinking on vaccines has to be challenged. It is a widely accepted constitutional principle that autonomy ends where it brings harm to others. Together with #VaccineAccess, #VaccineResistance is a key problem for global public policy. 1/3
Rights are not absolute, they can collide. Public health is important. So are freedom and autonomy. Canada’s Charter specifically allows governments and institutions to take reasonable measures to protect public health. The same is true in other countries. 2/3
As we enter a new age of pandemics, the global community, governments, institutions and individuals need to embrace solidarity as a key social value. #VaccineNationalism and #VaccineResistance are both dead ends. Literally.
#G7 "Leaders have pledged over 1 billion doses, either through #Covax or directly."
PM Johnson starts #G7 press conference with "The world was looking forward to us to reject nationalism."
Something's not adding up....

👏 that @GPforEducation has reached 1/2 of 5-year funding target.
But absolutely incredible how #G7 during largest #pandemic in a century fails to do something similar with #Covid19. They could have. They didn't.

"Vaccinating the world - we can do that together" PM Johnson states at #G7.
He didn't add: "But we decided not to."

I was involved in getting the #oxfordvaccine @JennerInstitute manufacturing process and consortium up and running. Here is a thread of why there is an issue with doses, with some science and #sciencepolicy. The EU looks in the wrong to me.
To make the vaccine, you need to grow up a huge volume of cells, they make the vaccine, then the vaccine is purified. The manufacturing process is new. It relies on elements used before, but each new process has its own parameters.
That means each manufacturing site has to on board the exact process and get it running. Usually this takes many months, but is being done urgently for COVID.

Why?
COVAX limitations aside, @SolidarityRSA is now involved in vaccine$ matters? It is not a public body, not @COVID_19_ZA and has no real oversight. They briefed @ParliamentofRSA but not sure if @AuditorGen_SA is overseeing public funds/ purpose/spend/procurement.

Please, #COVAX IS NOT THE SOLUTION TO THE WORLDS VACCINE ACCESS & EQUITY PROBLEM, IN MANY CASES, IT IS WORSENING IT. A POKER GAME. WITH $ CHIPS.
IT *LEAVES* POWER WITH PHRMA AND BUSINESS.
Where is the power...? Where the people are not.

Critical issue for the public to appreciate is that #COVAX is not an elected global institution, it is voluntary- a voluntary pooling mechanism that lets you in if you have money & willing to accept patent rights claims, & gives some charity dosages for those deemed very poor.
