As your constituent I’m writing to ask you to cosponsor Rep. Jan Schakowsky’s End the Pandemic Now Resolution (H. Con Res. 60).
As we approach the second anniversary of the start of the global pandemic, it is essential that we recognize what scientific evidence from around the world teaches us; and call for measures, based on that evidence, that will end the pandemic. All evidence points to only one conclusion: vaccinating everyone around the world is the only way to end the pandemic.
The End the Pandemic Now resolution lays out a clear roadmap to increase global production of COVID vaccines, treatments and diagnostic tests via a three-part program of (1) unlocking intellectual property barriers via a temporary waiver of WTO rules now standing in the way of production increases, (2) sharing vaccine formulas and know-how with qualified producers around the world to speed up more production, and (3) financial support for regional vaccine manufacturing hubs.
To sign on to the resolution, please contact Syd Terry in Rep. Schakowsky’s office. Thanks.
