10 years after the horrific West African Ebola epidemic, we have life-saving treatments

Yet they remain under the control of just two US pharma corporations

And they're almost exclusively kept in a US stockpile for national security purposes

In the last 5 Ebola outbreaks, only ONE-THIRD of patients received one of these treatments!

These medications do NO good sitting on shelfs in stockpiles of wealthy countries!

COVID was just the latest in a long history of profoundly inequitable access to life-saving tools.
