IP protections are the vital internal link to reduce vaccine inequality. Empirics disprove all pro patent argumentsKumar, PhD, 7-12-21 AND not expedient in a public health crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. Contention 2: Great Power WarFailure to contain COVID-19 causes extinctionGuy R. McPherson, PhD, 20 ~PhD Range Science, Professor Emeritus, University of Arizona School of Natural Resources and Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology~, "Will COVID-19 Trigger Extinction of All Life on Earth?" Eart and Envi Scie Res and Rev, Volume 3 Issue 2, 4-8-2020, https://opastonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/will-covid-19-trigger-extinction-of-all-life-on-earth-eesrr-20-.pdf AND that a microscopic virus could pull the trigger on our extinction ~15~. Continued COVID spread causes great power war and is the death knell of the LIO—diversion, nationalism, psychologyKitfield 20 AND dangerous period when cooler heads may not prevail among the great power leaders." Risk of U.S.-China nuclear escalation to total war is high – Chinese planners don’t believe nuclear weapons are usable and US decisionmakers are too confident in limited nuclear war.Fiona CUNNINGHAM Poli Sci @ GW AND Taylor FRAVEL Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science and Director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ’19 "Dangerous Confidence? Chinese Views on Nuclear Escalation" International Security 44 (2) p. EBSCO AND but it investigates only one of multiple pathways to nuclear escalation.~11~ Conention 3: WTO CollapseCOVID vaccine debate will kill the WTO- there are no alternate causes and solvency is reverse causalMeyer 6-18-21 AND all our ambassadors to the table to negotiate a text," she said. The WTO dampens US-China great power conflict which is crucial to solve a laundry list of existential threats. Cooperation on global vaccine distribution is a vital test caseShaffer, JD Stanford, 21 AND outcomes, such as to provide vaccines globally and to develop green technologies. The WTO reduces war through peace dividends, interdependence, and rule of lawBaldwin, PhD, and Nakotomi 15 AND only – example of a multilateral and nearuniversal framework of rules and law. The WTO is crucial to make global trade equitable and reduce povertyNarlikar, PhD, 18 AND lose for all, but particularly the poorest in developed and rising powers. Contention 4: SolvencyPlan: Member nations of the World Trade Organization ought to reduce intellectual property protections for medicines for COVID-19, as per the request by India and South Africa to the WTO.The plan creates a new goldilocks patent law that exempts pandemicsLindsey, JD Harvard, 21 AND up by blocking competitors and raising prices pushes in the completely wrong direction. Critics of the IP waiver are wrong- it’s the most effective way to combat covid inequality, alternatives failErfani et al, 21 AND other people’s" problem. It is not. It is our problem. Removing IP protections will increase production, diversify supply, and spur innovations that protect against future pandemicsHuman Rights Watch 6-3-21 https://www.hrw.org/news/2021/06/03/seven-reasons-eu-wrong-oppose-trips-waiver~~# AND and safety for vaccines, which have a very stringent process for approval. Waiving IPR is the vital internal link to equitable distribution- patents are a key deterrent to expanded manufacturing capabilitiesKang, PhD, et al., 7-14-21 AND fulfil this promise and, in so doing, to end the pandemic. FramingThe standard is preserving human life. Prefer –Reducing existential risks is the top priority in any coherent moral theoryPlummer, PhD, 15 AND be acting very wrongly." (From chapter 36 of On What Matters) Underview1. 1AR theory –A~ AFF gets it because otherwise the neg can engage in infinite abuse, making debate impossibleB~ Fairness and education are voters – debate’s a game that needs rules to evaluate it and it teaches portable skills that we use lifelongC~ Drop the debater – the short 1AR irreparably skewed from abuse on substance and time investment on theoryD~ 1AR theory first – it’s a bigger percentage of the 1AR than neg theory is of the 1NC which means the abuse was probably worse and only the 2NR has time to win multiple layers2. Apocalyptic images challenge dominant power structures by contesting the implausibility that inequitable structures can produce catastrophe – attempts to describe the world in its totality lock in the squo and close of revolutionary potentiality.Jessica Hurley 17, Assistant Professor in the Humanities at the University of Chicago, "Impossible Futures: Fictions of Risk in the Longue Durée", Duke University Press, https://read.dukeupress.edu/american-literature/article/89/4/761/132823/Impossible-Futures-Fictions-of-Risk-in-the-Longue AND of the Native nations who are most vulnerable to the site’s dangers.7 | 9/4/21 |
