- In the first wave of COVID
Moderna brought to me
A safe and effective vaccine. - In the second wave of COVID
Moderna stole from me
NIH research
And a safe and effective vaccine. - In the third wave of COVID
Moderna stole from me
Billions from tax funding
NIH research
And a safe and effective vaccine. - In the fourth wave of COVID
Moderna brought to me
Refusal to share know-how
Billions from tax funding
NIH research
And a vaccine that still is not free. - In the fifth wave of COVID
Moderna brought to me
A medical monopolyyyyy
Refusal to share know-how
Billions from tax funding

A medical monopoly
Refusal to share know-how

Or this solo rant can be used as the 12th verse:
12. In the twelfth wave of COVID
Moderna brought to me
A soulless disregard for human suffering for a nauseating amount of profit that no one could ever spend, much less enjoy, at the expense of the most vulnerable in nations around the world while blatantly fixating on bids from the most wealthy nations in a way that is neither fair nor effective and in fighting a global pandemic according to an overwhelming number of brilliant people who sincerely care about human rights and equality who have been forced to look on in disgust while simultaneously working to right this wrong and raging harder than the pandemic itself to defeat your greed and governments fear of holding any pharma corporation truly accountable and shortsighted lack of imagination for real solutions that could be enacted today and save millions of lives.
And a vaccine that still is not free.
