Protesters gather outside AstraZeneca's HQ in Cambridge to demand that AstraZeneca shares blueprints for its Covid-19 vaccine
SOCIAL JUSTICE campaigners blockaded AstraZeneca’s Cambridge headquarters today to demand that the pharma giant waives patents on its Covid-19 vaccine.
Two protesters clambered on top of the building’s entrance and held up a sign reading: “People’s vaccine, not profit vaccine,” while another two chained themselves to the doors to prevent people attending the company’s annual meeting.
The action came ahead of rallies by Global Justice Now outside the Cambridge building, at Oxford University and at AstraZeneca’s Macclesfield site.
