Protesters Demand Pfizer End Pandemic Profiteering and Share Vaccine Technologies
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In London, advocates for a "people's vaccine" rallied outside Pfizer's
U.K. headquarters Thursday, demanding the drugmaker end pandemic
profiteering and share its vaccine technology with the Global South.
Activists carried signs reading "Pharma greed kills" and "Pfizer has
blood on its hands," as they delivered wheelbarrows full of fake cash to
the entrance of the building. Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine is one of the
most lucrative pharmaceutical products in history, earning the company
some $37 billion last year alone - or over $1,000 a second. In a
statement, the group Global Justice Now responded, "This is scandalous
when more than 8 in 10 people in low-income countries still haven't had
a Covid-19 vaccine."
