To: Alex Azar, Secretary of Health and Human Services

Alex Azar must resign

Alex Azar is refusing to guarantee that any future coronavirus vaccine will be affordable. At a time when the world is facing a major public health crisis, putting drug company profits ahead of human lives is outrageous. Azar must resign.

Why is this important?

The coronavirus is threatening to become a major global pandemic, with the number of confirmed cases growing inside the United States. So who are Donald Trump and his administration’s top officials most concerned about right now?

Giant corporations.

When asked by Congress if a future vaccine will be guaranteed to be affordable for all Americans, Trump’s head of Health and Human Services, Alex Azar--a former drug company lobbyist--refused to commit. Instead, he suggested that private pharmaceutical companies’ ability to profit would come before the health needs of the people.

This is outrageous and he must resign.
