anyways, japanese imperialism is not a thing of the past and still exists today. japanese propaganda is in the little things, and to end it you have to recognize them. stop glorifying the rising sun flag. pay attention to how japanese media treats its korean characters as opposed to the white ones. be on your guard when anyone or anything implies that japan is in any way superior to other asian countries. above all, listen to and support any poc who has been affected by japanese imperialism.
To all my followers who are citizens of the EU and of voting age, please consider signing and sharing this EU citizens’ initiative requesting that the European Commission stop upholding intellectual property rights regarding COVID vaccines and treatments and make them a public good instead.
In order for the European Commission to read these proposals this initiative needs a lot more people signing that it has now, so every person counts.
For such an initiative to be considered by the EU-comission, it needs to reach at least 1 Million signatures + a certain threshold in at least 7 different member states. So far, only Belgium has met this second criterium. (As of 26th of April 2021)
There are still 839.639 signatures needed in total and the countries closest to reaching the threshold next are:
[(percentage of total achieved) - how many still necessary]
As of 18/06/2021, we still have only ~205.000 signatures; only a little over a fifth of the required 1.000.000.
Please continue to share this petition to signal to the European Commission to reconsider their stance on upholding IP rights for life saving vaccines. The end date for collecting signatures has been moved to 01/08/2022, so let’s keep going!
If you’re not an EU citizen, please still reblog this. Some of your followers might be! We must reach a required number of signatures from at least 7 countries in the EU. Only Belgium has met this goal! The next 10 countries closest to reaching it are:
Italy (99.4%) - 321 signatures needed
Ireland (80.4%) - 1.796 signatures needed
France (69.48%) - 16.996 signatures needed
Spain (65.31%) - 14.429 signatures needed
The Netherlands (62.12%) - 7.742 signatures needed
Cyprus (45.63%) - 2.300 signatures needed
Finland (37%) - 6.218 signatures needed
Greece (28.28%) - 10.618 signatures needed
Germany (17.85%) - 55.602 signatures needed
Sweden (15.28%) - 12.543 signatures required
If you aren’t a citizen in any of these (who are closest to reaching that goal/have reached it), please share anyway. Sending a signal to the EC that we find their stance on vaccine IPs deeply unethical is important. The EU cares about its image! Let’s take advantage of that.
A survey taken at Aomori Prefectural Central Hospital (青森県立中央病院) shows the reported side effects among the medical staff that received two doses of the Corona vaccine Pfizer-Biontech.
