Vaccine Apartheid with Sarah Lazare & Mateen Stewart (EP 115)

Ten months after the vaccine rollout and just 11 percent of Africans are fully vaccinated as compared with 72% of North Americans. Why? Big Pharma’s intellectual property rights (ie) money is running the show. And no wealthy nation, certainly none in the EU nor the one led by Joe Biden, is willing to stand up to the pharmaceutical industry’s power. Journalist Sarah Lazare joins to discuss the need for real internationalism. Plus, did Trump try and kill Biden at a presidential debate? He tested positive for Covid three days before! And, Rep. lhan Omar has the last word on Rep. Boebert's Islamophobia and Rep. McCarthy’s cowardice. Finally, if America had a Spotify account, what would our “Spotify Wrapped” statistics be like? 525,600 minutes listening to Rogan?
