I got the People s Vaccine, Montreal
Laura Holzman has occasionally found herself at the intersection of art and medicine in her career as an academic and public scholar. In her book Contested Image, she highlighted the fight to keep the painting âThe Gross Clinicâ by Thomas Eakins â depicting 19th century surgeon Samuel Gross â in Philadelphia. Last year she created an exhibit, together with Meredith Brickell, that was part of
Fix, Heartbreak and Hope inside our Opioid Crisis at the Indiana State Museum.Â

Thousands of activists across the world demanded a People’s Vaccine as part of the global day of action on the first anniversary of the World Health Organization declaring coronavirus a pandemic.
Together with the People’s Vaccine Alliance, we helped to mobilise and co-ordinate organisations, networks and activists across to the world to demand end to vaccine apartheid. While vaccines are being rolled out in rich countries, the global south could be waiting up to 2023 for widespread vaccination.
We are calling for equitable access to Covid-19 vaccinations for everyone, everywhere, but pharmaceutical companies and rich countries’ governments are defending corporate profits by blocking a proposal to suspend patent rules that would help the ramp up production so there are enough vaccines doses to meet global demand.
Reports and statistics indicate racial disparity
An NBC article spoke of these issues that can create concerns among the Black and Latino community as the government tries to make sure all of its citizens are vaccinated. These specific communities have struggled with trusting the health care system as they ve experienced unequal access to care. The publication revealed that health advocates say that these communities that have high Covid-19 rates among them are least likely to get vaccinated. This comes from systemic racism and collective trauma, it says as Sernah Essien of Universities Allied for Essential Medicines said, The people who need it the most are the same who don t trust it. Without considering racial equity, we deepen the cracks that systemic racism has already created in our health care system.
