1- Adv CP- LockdownTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: McNeil AR | Judge: Andres Rosero The member nations of the WTO shouldCreate harsher laws on Phrama for patenting all medicines and check if they are indigenous. Allow indigenous people to patent their medicines and inventions later or not have them patent. Criminal proceedings that WTO would enforceimpose a mandatory lockdown until there is no more than one new case per day per 100,000 people after which local officials will modulate lockdown levels based on local case numbers. Governments should compensate both individual workers and small businesses that suffer substantial or irreparable economic loss as a result of lockdowns.Only the lockdown solves- it curbs COVID spread until the vaccineOsterholm, 20 — Regents Professor and Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota AND determined by how Americans decide to craft the rest of this current act. | 9/25/21 |
1- DA- PhramaTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: McNeil AR | Judge: Andres Rosero Pharmaceutical innovation is accelerating now – new medicines are substantially better than existing treatments.Wills, MBA, and Lipkus, PhD, 20 – Todd J.

1- T- NebelTournament: Greenhill | Round: 4 | Opponent: McNeil AR | Judge: Andres Rosero OFFInterpretation: medicines is a generic bare plural. The aff may not defend that member nations of the World Trade Organization reduce intellectual property protections for a subset of medicines.Nebel 19 Jake Nebel ~Jake Nebel is an assistant professor of philosophy at the University of Southern California and executive director of Victory Briefs.~ , 8-12-2019, "Genericity on the Standardized Tests Resolution," Briefly, https://www.vbriefly.com/2019/08/12/genericity-on-the-standardized-tests-resolution/ SM AND -value meaning and standard expectations about what LD resolutions tend to mean. It applies to medicines:Upward entailment test – spec fails the upward entailment test because saying that nations ought to reduce IPP for one medicine does not entail that those nations ought to reduce IPP for all medicinesAdverb test – adding "usually" to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because a reduction is universal and permanentViolation: the aff only defends biological elements used outside of their country of originVote neg:Semantics outweigh:T is a constitutive rule of the activity and a basic aff burden – they agreed to debate the topic when they came hereIt’s the only stasis point we know before the round so it controls the internal link to engagement – there’s no way to use ground if debaters aren’t prepared to defend itLimits – there are countless affs accounting for thousands of medicines – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – potential abuse doesn’t justify foregoing the topic and 1AR theory checks PICsThere are over 20,000 affsFDA 11/18 ~(U.S. Food and Drug Administration, federal agency of the Department of Health and Human Service) "Fact Sheet: FDA at a Glance," 11/18/2020~ JL AND drug products. Ground – spec guts core generics like innovation that rely on reducing IP for all medicines because individual medicines don’t affect the pharmaceutical industry broadly – also means there is no universal DA to spec affsTVA solves – read as an advantage to whole rezParadigm issues:Drop the debater:Their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the start – 1NC construction was premised onDeters abuse – debaters won’t read args they can’t win on – their interp means reading extra T affs has zero riskComes before 1AR theory – NC abuse is responsive to them not being topicalCompeting interps – reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentationFairness is a voter ¬– necessary to determine the better debaterEducation is a voter – why schools fund debate | 9/25/21 |
Neolib KTournament: Greenhill | Round: 1 | Opponent: Westwood ST | Judge: Adam Torson KThe aff’s positioning of competition as intrinsic good acts to maintain the stability of capital accumulation.Mata 19- only innovate to protect neoliberalism and because it’s efficent AND the law as the primary, necessarily mutable, instrument of such maintenance. The WTO is neoliberialMartin Hart-Landsberg, 4-1-2006, "Monthly Review," Monthly Review, https://monthlyreview.org/2006/04/01/neoliberalism-myths-and-reality/ (LHS IB) AND trade. In fact, this is an easier task than generally assumed. The Neoliberalism approach the aff takes in by restricting IP’s for competition, the invisible hand, and by restricting IP’s is a myth- further entrenches us in neoliberalism and causes meaningless death and drives less innovation and distribution.At- sach 14- that only neolib solves AND Russia’s Gamaleya Institute and China’s Sinopharm, were successful in developing effective vaccines. Neolib capitalism is the greatest impact—root cause of Covid— it’s the greatest existential threat and the biggest affront to human rights and causes catastrophic healthcare crises, climate change, structural racism, and value to life deprivation. Litany of recent studies prove that transition is possible and would save humanity, but requires urgent divestment from current modes of politicsAhmed 20 (Nafeez Ahmed — Visiting Research Fellow at the Global Sustainability Institute at Anglia Ruskin University's Faculty of Science and Technology + M.A. in contemporary war and peace studies + DPhil (April 2009) in international relations from the School of Global Studies @ Sussex University, "Capitalism is Destroying ‘Safe Operating Space’ for Humanity, Warn Scientists", https://www.resilience.org/stories/2020-06-24/capitalism-is-destroying-safe-operating-space-for-humanity-warn-scientists/, 24 June 2020, EmmieeM) AND quite literally, destroying the foundations for human survival over the coming decades. Neolib is the root cause of Covid and all pandemics- multiple warrants- the aff is a hopeless attempt and an example of disaster neolib to solve through restricting IP’s- when in reality they can’t since they’re dependent on free markets sacrifices which proliferates the virusMiloš ŠUmonja, 21- June"Neoliberalism is not dead – On political implications of Covid-19," PubMed Central (PMC), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7770495/ (LHS IB) AND disproportionately women and minority workers facing permanent job loss (Data Speaks 2020). The alt is to decentralize global chains, the free markets and neoliberalism- we support Democratisation of capitalism through the Keynesian stateMiloš ŠUmonja, 21- June"Neoliberalism is not dead – On political implications of Covid-19," PubMed Central (PMC), https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7770495/ (LHS IB)) AND of who is paying for the crisis is already being answered in practice. FWInterp – the aff has to win the social institution through which the plan is enacted is better than the status quo or competiting option proposed by the negative – solves all their offenseInstitutions are a critical part of implementation, solvency, and ideology – the aff should be forced to think about that before writing a planIt’s predictable – institutions are obvious if we win a link we win their institutional bias is real, we can’t shift the goalposts on which institution we think is good – also, it’s the cap K – it’s been around for decadesCritical debate good – it’s most educational by opening our minds to different viewpoints – taking institutions for granted perpetuates all the harms of the status quoFiat is illusory – analyzing competing political strategies is the core of any social change.Giroux 12 6/19/12 ~Henry, Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department, "Beyond the Politics of the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism" June 6, 2012 http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism~~ AND making education central to organized politics and the quest for a radical democracy. | 9/18/21 |
