e-3790 (Health)
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the Minister of Health
- Global vaccination is the foundation for overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic;
- The development of the COVID-19 vaccine was publicly funded and the result of collaboration by researchers worldwide;
- This collective discovery was handed over to private pharmaceutical companies that are currently refusing to lift their patents, even temporarily, so that generic vaccines could be produced for developing countries; and
- This refusal, while legal, is immoral, and impedes the achievement of our objective: to eliminate a virus that is a threat to us and is disrupting our lives.
