Second batch of Covid-19 vaccine doses

jeudi 10 décembre 2020 à 01:00

"Centrists" are criticizing the wrecker for not putting the US ahead of other countries in the queue for a second batch of doses of Covid-19 vaccine.

Meanwhile, the wealthy countries generally are buying up the vaccine production for next year, leaving the poor countries to wait till 2022.

Instead of letting the Pharma companies (and their servants, the patent offices) set us against each other to squabble about which country will get vaccines first, let's turn our criticism on the system of monopolies that is limiting production and helping some companies to gouge.

Why there should not be patents on drugs or anything in medicine.
