Interesting new article on Canada's positions in negotiations of the #TRIPSwaiver & #PandemicAgreement: bmjpublichealth.bmj.com/content/2/2/...
But I want to highlight this bit on the shift in Canada's public framing around stakeholder engagement.
Totally agree there was a shift towards industry.
Screenshot from the linked statement highlighting the paragraph about Article 31bis.
Thinking back to December 2020, when Canada stated at the WTO that a #TRIPSwaiver was unnecessary, because its experience using #Article31bis showed the system worked...
www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/...
(Canada then did nothing at all to operationalize 31bis for any COVID-19 product)
Thinking about how Canada made #Oseltamivir
(Tamiflu) eligible for compulsory-license-for-export under TRIPS Art.31bis/Canada's Access to Medicines Regime (CAMR) for #H5N1... but, despite actively hyping 31bis/CAMR over the #TRIPSwaiver, never made any COVID-19 product eligible. 🤔
Millions of people all around the world remain unvaccinated and vulnerable. The threat of new strains of Covid continues. @Bundeskanzler @OlafScholz #EndCOVIDMonopolies and support the #TRIPSwaiver

6/ Nobody is safe until everybody is safe. #protectionparbrevet #TRIPSWaiver
5/ Neue Varianten können überall entstehen - und auch wieder zu einer ganz neuen globalen Herausforderung werden, wie Delta oder Omikron. No one is safe until everyone is safe. #TRIPSWaiver #GlobalSolidarityFirst
Due to #Omicron we have to cancel our workshop at St. Goar - https://indico.gsi.de/event/12734/ - sadly.
I am very frustrated about this, and just because we cannot get our act globally together to stop this pandemic #TRIPSwaiver
Back in office again!
Would have preferred under better circumstances - first act of the day will be to tell students we are back online🙃
It is about time we get ride of this pandemic #TRIPSwaiver
Got boostered🙂 Everyone should have the possibility #TRIPSwaiver
Very ad hoc, Styria suddenly changed their policies, and allowed to do so after 4 Months (seems medically a good decision, as far as I know), and without appointment. But far too little advertisement.
Got my flu shot today, and booked my booster shot at the earliest possible date.
This should be possible for everyone #TRIPSWaiver
Dear @NorwayMFA @NorwayAmbWTO
Everyone, everywhere should have access to lifesaving #COVID19 tests, treatments & vaccines.
More than 100 countries support the #TRIPSWaiver - why are you still blocking it?

I am asking @Browne4Dail @jackiecahillff @alankellylabour @mattiemcgrathtd to call on @MichealMartinTD to meet the #PeoplesVaccine Alliance 🇮🇪 to discuss the #TRIPSwaiver & #CTAP
As no one is safe until everyone is safe from #Covid19. https://peoplesvaccine.ie/
If one nation has #COVID19 and no access to vaccines, all countries are in danger! #AngelaMerkel @JPN_PMO @BorisJohnson #VOWnow to shine a spotlight on the immorality of vaccine rationing and support #TRIPSwaiver to #VaccinateOurWorld! #G7UK
Lives are being lost globally and Ireland within the EU can help save millions. @MichealMartinTD support the ramp up of distribution of #COVIDVaccine. Support the #TRIPSwaiver #NoCovidMonopolies #PeoplesVaccine @LeoVaradkar @simoncoveney
@JustinTrudeau, alors que tous les Canadien-ne-s seront vacciné-e-s d'ici septembre 2021, les travailleuses-eurs de première ligne des pays en développement 🌍 attendent leur 1er 💉. Ne bloquez pas #TRIPSWaiver et garantissez un meilleur accès à #PeoplesVaccine. #cdnpoli #COVID19
The #TRIPSwaiver, if adopted at the General Council, the WTO’s highest-level decision-making body, could help countries around the world overcome legal barriers preventing them from producing their own Covid vaccines and treatments....
No one is safe until we all are!
Of 700m #COVID19Vaccine doses worldwide, just 0.2% have gone to people in low-income nations & many will wait until 2024. @POTUS can use #TRIPSwaiver to temporarily waive the patent until the pandemic is over.
