CARERS OF THE WORLD
VS COVID-19 CRIMINALS
45% OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION HAS NOT RECEIVED EVEN ONE DOSE OF THE COVID-19 VACCINE.
(*) We are 2.5 million nurses from around the world standing up to Big Pharma and the governments they have captured
(*) Right now, the World Trade Organization is considering a proposal that would help end the pandemic. This would temporarily waive patent protections on vaccine recipes.
(*) But the European Union, the United Kingdom, Switzerland,Norway, and Singapore are blocking it, endangering millions of lives around the world.
(*) We demand an urgent investigation into the obstruction of the waiver by these Covid-19 criminals.
