Yeah, the world will ignore the patent and do it's job.

  Many countries already have laws allowing them to ignore patents (issued by that country or by other countries) for essential medications. A COVID19 vaccine would definitely fall into that category. So unless there's something unique about the process of making the vaccine that is difficult to replicate, an "exclusive US patent" means nothing.

    Yes a patent is nothing but a license. If you abuse it you lose it.
