The constant outcry by Fauci and the NIH of, we need to get everyone worldwide vaccinated. Well, if your nation has the money, no problem.
Back in 2021, it was asked that all the great pharmaceutical laboratories release the patents they hold. Make a gesture of humanity and allow every country, every people, every human being, to have access to the vaccines. There are countries where only 3% or 4% of the inhabitants have been vaccinated. At the outset of the pandemic, wealthy nations raced to sign deals with vaccine makers and now account for 43% of the 16.6 billion doses locked up in purchase agreements, according to the Duke Global Health Innovation Center.
The pharmaceutical industry resisted pressure at the World Trade Organization to agree to a temporary waiver of intellectual property for Covid-19 medical products and there were objections from the European Union and some countries where several large drug makers are based.
Moderna has been criticized for shipping more of its vaccines to wealthy nations than other vaccine makers, according to Airfinity, a research firm that tracks vaccine shipments. At the same time, some middle-income countries have had to pay more for Moderna vaccines than such wealthy countries as the U.S., which provided financial and research backing for its shot.
Are Fauci, all at the NIH and pharmaceutical laboratories entitled to make a profit? Of course they are, this is still America. But save the idolization, as each are concerned with obtaining the greatest financial rewards they can. Can they save humanity from the ravages of Covid? Again, if you have money, no problem.
