'The world cannot wait so long': Why coronavirus vaccine makers are refusing to share their recipes

Like many developing countries, Bangladesh has only been able to make a small dent in its COVID-19 vaccination ambitions. But the country's drug makers say they hold the key to ending the pandemic in a matter of months, rather than years.

Incepta Pharmaceuticals lies on the outskirts of the Bangladesh capital Dhaka, in an industrial neighbourhood. "If we get the ready-to-fill material or antigen, instead of waiting until 2023, we can make this vaccine available to our entire nation population within two to three months' time," he said.

Harsh Pant, the director of strategic studies at the Observer Research Foundation in Delhi, said pharmaceutical companies want to ensure they can secure a profit, after spending large sums of money and resources into developing the vaccine."You pour a huge amount of money and research and you reap the benefits," Mr Pant said.

He also criticised wealthy nations for using their purchasing power to buy up most of the vaccines, forcing developing nations to scramble for a limited supply."It has been about vaccine nationalism, hoarding a vaccine. You'd expect them to be a bit more generous."The so-called 'Quad nations' of India, Australia, Japan and the United States

"It will boil down to which segment of the population a country will prioritise to protect," he said.India is aiming to inoculate 300 million people by August. Its program is aimed at supporting those most at risk — like the elderly or healthcare workers — and not about achieving herd immunity.

OK. That's done it - I'm not getting it!

Why is this govt playing geopolitics with our lives?

you think the image is appropriate don't you

because the profits of corporations is more valued than the lives and wellbeing of humans.

is increasingly a tabloid (in the worst sense) outlet. Choose the trashiest image to go with the story, whatever the story is.

Control the supply is one reason obviously, the other would be they don't want anyone to know exactly what is in the vaccine.

What a stupid and irresponsible image to choose for this story.

Money makes them 'crazy'. In reality, money is not a life. If you live out of jungles & villages, you need some money for your life. Otherwise don't need 'money' 😜 auspol money

That seems like an extreme response to a jab. (Pic)
