Politico Europe, 2022: MonkeyPox deals a fatal blow to global health security
Robbie Lawlor contributed to a Politico article written by Ashleigh Furlong on the scarcity of MPOX vaccines.
“Until we get a handle on our global systems. Until we stop fighting for just incrementalism within policy … we’re not going to get a handle on any of the big pandemics or epidemics that are happening around the world,” said Robbie Lawlor, co-founder of Access to Medicines Ireland. “Unfortunately, the systems that we have now are not fit for purpose.”
At Access to Medicines Ireland, we continually fight for for systemic change; otherwise, we are doomed to constantly relive mistakes of AIDS, COVID-19 and MPOX.
