The United States federal government should:
- substantially increase production and global distribution of the COVID-19 Vaccine, specifically providing all necessary vaccines to India, Latin America, and South Africa, and
- cooperate with allies to achieve increased production and global distribution of the COVID-19 Vaccine.
The US should take the lead – otherwise, China and Russia will use vaccine diplomacy to advance foreign policy goals. The counterplan alone solves and reinvigorates US leadership.

Interpretation: 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 Both distinctions are important. Generic resolutions can’t be affirmed by specifying particular instances.
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 medicines
Adverb test – adding "usually" to the res doesn’t substantially change its meaning because a reduction is permanent
Vote 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 here
Jurisdiction – you can’t vote aff if they haven’t affirmed the resolution
It’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 it
Limits – there are countless affs accounting for thousands of medicines – unlimited topics incentivize obscure affs that negs won’t have prep on – limits are key to reciprocal prep burden – potential abuse doesn’t justify foregoing the topic and 1AR theory checks PICs
There are over 20,000 affs
FDA 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 There are over 20,000 prescription drug products approved for marketing. FDA
AND
drug products. There are about 300 FDA-licensed biologics 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 affs
TVA solves – read as an advantage to whole rez
Paradigm issues:
Drop the debater – their abusive advocacy skewed the debate from the start
Comes before 1AR theory – NC abuse is responsive to them not being topical
Competing interps – reasonability invites arbitrary judge intervention and a race to the bottom of questionable argumentation
No RVIs – fairness and education are a priori burdens – and encourages baiting – outweighs because if T is frivolous, they can beat it quickly
Fairness is a voter ¬– necessary to determine the better debater
Education is a voter – why schools fund debate

Reynolds 59. Judge (In the Matter of Doris A. Montesani, Petitioner, v.

Violation – they don’t defend permancence
Negate –
Limits and topic lit – their model allows adding on infinite random suspensions to IP protections, anything from conditioning IP protections on human rights to monopolistic tendencies – the core of the debate is reducing IP protections, not temporarily suspending them
