*[Enwl-eng] Vaccines: WeMove Europe vs Merkel
ENWLine
|
Today we're on the ground in front of the German Chancellor to demand Germany stops blocking open access to COVID-19 vaccines. And with you, we can make it impossible for Merkel to ignore — by spreading our video to German embassies. Tweet this video and, together, we’ll put Merkel on the right side of history. |
Hi,
Over 2.7 million people, including you, are demanding something very simple — action to protect everyone, everywhere, from the COVID-19 pandemic.
And it’s working. Together we moved French President Emmanuel Macron and US President Joe Biden to support opening access to vaccines.
But Angela Merkel still won’t budge. As she returns to Berlin this week after her trip to the US, where she faced dozens of protests organised by our partners, she may think she will finally get a break. But we have something else in store before key global meetings start at the World Trade Organisation.
Today we're on the ground in front of the German Chancellor. We’ll be working to pull off a stunt that will grab the attention of the media. And together, we can make it impossible for Merkel to ignore by spreading the word online as well.
German embassies’ job is to inform their government of what's happening. If we all send messages to them from across Europe, they’ll have to forward our call to Merkel. Our message will be clear: continuing to block open access to vaccines could ruin Merkel’s reputation.
Will you help us by sharing the video online? It will show german ambassadors why Merkel is on the wrong side of history.

The pharmaceutical industry's egoism and Merkel's continued opposition creates a worldwide inequity between the rich and the poor — this is real vaccine apartheid. Almost two out of three Germans have received their first vaccine dose already, while 99% of the population in developing countries haven’t. [1]
This is unfair and puts all of us at risk. As a result, the Delta variant is ravaging unvaccinated populations around the globe and the emergence of a new vaccine-resistant variant is increasingly likely. [2]
That’s why today we come together to demand Merkel stops this. German ambassadors care about the reputations of Merkel and Germany. Now it's up to us to share it with them and spread it widely!

We are part of a global call for a real people’s vaccine. From Washington to Berlin, from New Delhi to Kampala, everywhere, millions of people are taking the streets to put an end to this murderous inequality. [3] With our people's power calling to keep everyone safe, there is no doubt: we will win against the selfishness of a few richest nations like Germany.
Thanks for being part of this,
David (London), Alexandre (Marseille),
Olga (Bologna) and the entire WeMove team
P.S. To pull this off, the WeMove Europe community is teaming up with Campact and Zero Covid Alliance. Together, we’ll get the attention of German ambassadors in showing the consequences of Merkel's opposition to a people’s vaccine. With a giant puppet preventing the whole world from accessing the vaccine! See it for yourself and share the video now.
