This argument that patent protections should be suspended has been made quite seriously in several newspapers here in Finland. I don't think these people are trolling.
I do share the reservations about retroactively revoking protections, although I'm not convinced governments could not co-operate on vaccine development.
- Ulrich2 6y agoIf the state (any state) would decide on this, we would have not any mRna vaccines because "obviously this new thing will not work and/or is too risky".. Remember that just a year ago the AZ vaccine was the clear front runner. That is also one of the reasons why the EU did not order enough/too late of Biontech.
- partingshots 6y agoNot true. Biontech and Moderna were always far ahead of everyone else even at the very start.
