IS RACISM SHAPING THE GLOBAL VACCINE RESPONSE? – With Priti Krishtel, Tahir Amin and Asia Russell

We’re asking: is racism silently shaping the global vaccine
response? And what could President Biden’s recent huge decision
to take on vaccine monopolies mean for people around the world?
We also do a special round of “big pharma bingo”, examining the
key arguments that pharmaceutical corporations have been making
that is stifling the mass production of Covid-19 vaccines.


 


Max and Nabil are joined by three giants from the access to
medicines and public health movement: Priti Krishtel and Tahir
Amin (the Co-Executive Directors of IMAK, which challenges
systemic injustice and advocates for health equity in drug
development and access), and Asia Russell (the CEO of HealthGAP,
which is dedicated to ensuring that all people living with HIV
have access to life-saving medicines).


 


Come to learn, to find inspiration, and to get the inside track
on the vaccine issue.
