EXCLUSIVE: 'Our lives depend on bipartisan cooperation!' Liberal firebrand Alyssa Milano says the coronavirus vaccine should be FREE to all nations and slams 'very white male' Republicans in an interview with Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen
Alyssa Milano says the coronavirus vaccine should be free to all nations and claims 'lives depend on bipartisan cooperation' in an interview with Trump's former lawyer Michael Cohen on his new podcast.
The liberal firebrand actress, who was a leading figure in the Me Too movement, praised Joe Biden for offering the vaccine free to all Americans but said drug companies should go further – allowing free access internationally.
'I want it to be free for everyone. I don't think that people or countries who are wealthy enough to buy stockpiles of this vaccine should be the ones who have access to it,' Milano, who has been a Unicef ambassador for decades, told Cohen in audio exclusively obtained by DailyMail.com.
'If we don't get this vaccine to people who live in the most remote areas of the world, and don't make this affordable… we're not going to be safe from this thing.'

The 47-year-old My Name is Earl and Charmed actress also slammed Republicans, claiming they wanted a 'very white male-dominated society.'
Cohen, 54, started his podcast in September on the heels of his book 'Disloyal: A Memoir'
'The GOP, the extreme right does not want progress, they want regress. They want to go back to this very white male-dominated society which doesn't exist any more. It just doesn't,' she said on the podcast episode, published Friday.
'There is a changing demographic in this country and white men are having a real hard time looking at that. I think that's what the political divide is about.'
But despite her criticism, Milano called for cooperation between the parties, telling Cohen that it was now a matter of life and death.
'I really feel that lives depend on bipartisan cooperation at this point,' she said.
Milano has clashed with activists on her own side of the political spectrum in the past, refusing to participate in the 2019 Women's March after its leaders failed to condemn alleged homophobia, antisemitism and transphobia of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Milano has also advocated for a celibate sex strike in May 2019 in retaliation to a Georgia state abortion law.
The president's former lawyer began the new podcast in September this year while under house arrest, after his early release from a three-year prison sentence for tax fraud and lying to Congress.
Cohen has hosted on his show several prominent critics of his former boss.

Earlier this month DailyMail.com revealed celebrity magician Penn Jillette had given an interview to Cohen roasting Donald Trump – who Jillette starred alongside in two seasons of Celebrity Apprentice.
Jillette said Trump was 'probably responsible for around 100,000 deaths from Covid' and was a 'clear villain'.
Staunch Trump critics Rosie O'Donnell, former White House Director of Communications, Anthony Scaramucci and more have appeared on Cohen's podcast
The prominent atheist magician added 'God damn him to hell'.
Jillette was thrust into a divisive debate around the president in 2018 when his fellow former contestant and Trump's White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed to have tapes of the commander-in-chief using the N-word on the NBC show set.
At the time Jillette agreed he heard Trump make many 'racially insensitive' remarks, though stopped short of accusing him of using the racial slur.
But in this podcast interview the Vegas-based magician told Cohen that the president's legacy is so abysmal no further evidence was necessary to damn him
Cohen, 54, started his podcast, Mea Culpa, in September on the heels of his book 'Disloyal: A Memoir'.
Staunch Trump critics Rosie O'Donnell, former White House Director of Communications, Anthony Scaramucci and Trump's fired aide Omarosa Manigault Newman, among others, have appeared on his show which is run in a partnership between Audio Up Media and MeidasTouch.
