But rich countries are not willing to give up what they have. Ursula Von der Leyen, head of the European Commission, has used the phrase “global common good” to describe the vaccines. Even still, theon vaccines, giving countries the power to stop shots from leaving their borders in some cases.
Advocates of sharing vaccine blueprints argue that, unlike with most drugs, taxpayers paid billions to develop vaccines that are now “global public goods” and should be used to end the biggest public health emergency in living memory. “Rich countries, ourselves included, have a moral responsibility when you have a global outbreak like this,” Fauci said. “We’ve got to get the entire world vaccinated, not just our own country.”could be made worldwide if intellectual property restrictions were lifted, because the spare production capacity of factories has not been publicly shared.
“Doing more tech transfer right now could actually put the production and the increased output for the months to come at great risk,” he said. “We are very open to do it in the future once our current sites are running.”
damian_godden The whole world needs vaccines. It’s an international pandemic. Duh.
Health, safety, and freedom to raise one’s own family are fundamentally democratic principles. It is only fair that life technology and discoveries be shared to all humanity.
With 500 Millions Dollars from the United States, the WHO should already have this information. Nothing but a bunch of con-artists!
I think the best that can happen is that pharmaceuticals will sell third world nations the vaccines at a cheaper price but sharing technology might be out of the question
For the good of all... Africans... Asians...and those who must share to live in a world not controlled by a virus you can cram into a bread box.

Funny how we slam the US at every turn for our “awful” “greedy” healthcare practices, yet everyone wants our goods. I wonder why? Perhaps because socialized medicine is hot garbage?
