In London, advocates for a “people’s vaccine” rallied outside Pfizer’s U.K. headquarters Thursday, demanding the drugmaker end pandemic profiteering and share its vaccine technology with the Global South. Activists carried signs reading “Pharma greed kills” and “Pfizer has blood on its hands,” as they delivered wheelbarrows full of fake cash to the entrance of the building. Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is one of the most lucrative pharmaceutical products in history, earning the company some $37 billion last year alone — or over $1,000 a second. In a statement, the group Global Justice Now responded, “This is scandalous when more than 8 in 10 people in low-income countries still haven’t had a Covid-19 vaccine.”
