If we can speak about recovery for some, we must acknowledge that #COVID has been a thriving time for others, particularly #BigPharma. #Pfizer's vaccine is one of the most lucrative products in history, amassing nearly $37 bn Dr Lesley Ann Foster at #ECOSOC #Fem4PeoplesVaccine
This is what #COVID caused in low-income countries: 🔸Debt increase 📈 🔸Untold hardship 🔸Millions of jobs lost 🔸Food insecurity 🔸High levels of GBV 🔸Decrease in investments in social programs 📉 Dr Lesley Ann Foster at #ECOSOC Partnership Forum #Fem4PeoplesVaccine
"When we talk about accountability to partnerships, there have to be parameters, inexcusable promotion and protection of #HumanRights & scrutiny of how partnerships work, & how benefits are shared. Dr Lesley Ann Foster at #ECOSOC Partnership Forum #Fem4PeoplesVaccine
"The absurd & unconscionable profits raked in by #BigPharma during #COVID are paid in human lives, particularly in the global South". Dr Lesley Ann Foster, Executive-Director of @masimanyane at #ECOSOC Partnership Forum #Fem4PeoplesVaccine
