LOS ANGELES–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF<\/a>) condemned today as criminal big pharma\u2019s meddling in the World Trade Organization\u2019s TRIPS waiver proposal negotiations<\/a>, which would have allowed more countries to produce COVID-19 vaccines.\n<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\nAccording to POLITICO<\/a>, \u201cBetween January 2020 and September 2022, 13 pharmaceutical lobby groups and companies held nearly 100 meetings with the most senior [European] Commission officials. In the U.K., there were more than 360 meetings between January 2020 and March 2022 \u2014 equivalent to nearly one every two days.\u201d Conversely, civil society groups advocating for vaccine equity only met with EC officials about 60 times and had only 20 U.K. meetings. From 2020 to 2021, big pharma and the largest lobbying groups spent over \u20ac30.7 million to lobby the EU during the pandemic.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe knew the pharmaceutical industry \u2013 namely the big three COVID-19 vaccine makers, Johnson & Johnson, Pfizer, and Moderna \u2013 had a stranglehold on politicians globally, but this investigation reveals just how far they\u2019ll go to put profits over people\u2019s lives. The only word to describe it is \u2018disgusting,\u2019\u201d said AHF President Michael Weinstein. \u201cWe, along with other vaccine equity advocates, condemn big pharma for their manipulative tactics to force countries to choose between lifesaving medicines or their economies taking a financial hit by drug companies threatening to withdraw investments. It\u2019s despicable behavior, and we urge governments to address this conduct immediately as a threat to national and global health security \u2013 particularly during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nAHF has advocated for vaccine equity since the start of the pandemic, including holding multiple protests at the headquarters of Pfizer<\/a>, Moderna<\/a>, and J&J<\/a>. Numerous AHF country teams also delivered letters to the embassies of rich countries in an effort to garner support for the WTO\u2019s TRIPS waiver proposal.\n<\/p>\n
