SeptOct - Covid v2Tournament: Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: ModernBrain AK | Judge: Derek Hilligoss The only way to solve the pandemic is global vaccination, but current production is woefully short. Changing IP laws is key to combatting structural violence and vaccine apartheid. Rich countries hoard vaccine supply, which means donor models never solve and reinforce colonialism. Harman et al 6/21 Compulsory licensing is not sufficient – drug company resistance, IP thickets, and devolved decision-making. Vaccine shortfall causes widespread death and poverty. Poverty and disease are mutually reinforcing, causing staggering suffering and injustice. II. Solvency Legal certainty unlocks global production. Manufacturing capacity is widespread around the world. III. Capitalism The aff is uniquely anticapitalistic by taking away monopolies from vaccine producers. The aff’s focus on material conditions is key to generate practical and ideological resistance to capitalism. Purdy 20 Capitalism’s drive to accumulate compels environmental catastrophe and nuclear warfare --- we should mobilize accordingly IV. Framing | 9/4/21 |
SeptOct - Covid v3Tournament: Presentation | Round: 6 | Opponent: Harker AAn | Judge: Harker NA The only way to solve the pandemic is global vaccination, but current production is woefully short. Changing IP laws is key to combatting global health inequality and vaccine apartheid. Rich countries hoard vaccine supply, which means donor models never solve and reinforce colonialism. Harman et al 6/21 Compulsory licensing is not sufficient – drug company resistance, IP thickets, and devolved decision-making. Vaccine shortfall causes widespread death and poverty. Poverty and disease are mutually reinforcing, causing staggering suffering and injustice. II. Solvency A waiver would increase leverage over pharma and provide legal certainty needed to spur critical production. Legal certainty unlocks global production. Manufacturing capacity is widespread around the world. Underview (B) Compound Probability - Multiplied probabilities of long link chains have negligible net probabilities. This is the slippery slope fallacy. (C) Causal Direction - They will say the fractional probability of a huge impact still has a large expected value, but it’s impossible to determine the direction of low-probability links. Does the butterfly flapping its wings cause the hurricane or prevent it? Disregard tiny-probability links because they don’t guide decision-making. (D) Complexity – the DA presents a simplistic and deterministic narrative that fails to account for the myriad confounding factors that can disrupt or reverse the link chain of the DA. The most important of these is the probability that people will recognize the dangerous path they’re on and change course, e.g. leaders backing down during the Cuban Missile Crisis. (E) Decision Gridlock – Every course of action or inaction has a negligible possibility of causing extinction. This makes it impossible to prioritize averting existential risk over all else because such risk is unavoidable. We have no choice but to prioritize REALISTIC probabilities. (F) Apocalyptic rhetoric is an independent voter – justifies violence, trades off with addressing real risks, and causes nihilism. (G) Distrust low-probability predictions of catastrophe – subjectivity, cognitive bias, and history of failed predictions. | 10/11/21 |
SeptOct - MSF ACTournament: Presentation | Round: 4 | Opponent: Harker AAn | Judge: Samantha McLoughlin Millions die from pneumonia and HPV, but low-income countries and families can’t afford the vaccines to prevent them. Poverty and disease are mutually reinforcing, causing staggering suffering and injustice.

New York: Verso (2006; First Published 2004). pp. 30-35 AT Apocalyptic rhetoric is an independent voter – justifies violence, trades off with addressing real risks, and causes nihilism. | 10/9/21 |
