Pfizer has signed a deal with a UN-backed group to allow other manufacturers to make its experimental COVID-19 pill, a move that could make the treatment available to more than half of the world's population.It could also become a important tool in countries and areas with limited access to vaccinesPfizer said it would grant a licence for the antiviral pill to the Geneva-based Medicines Patent Pool.
In a clinical trial, it cut the chance of hospitalisation or death for adults at risk of severe disease by 89 per cent. "It's quite significant that we will be able to provide access to a drug that appears to be effective and has just been developed, to more than 4 billion people," Esteban Burrone, head of policy at the Medicines Patent Pool, said.
On the proviso they charge how much for for it? It seems when other co's make generic out of patent medicines, BigPharmaCo's sponsored media outlets decide to push negative narratives on these meds, which is strange... A horse dewormer winning 2015 Nobel Prize for Medicine? odd
Statistics say 'the Pfizer vaccine is NOT 100% effective'. I refer to Dr Campbell, Nobel Prize Winner of 1995...
It should do the same for their COVID vaccine. They’ve limited their manufacturing & haven’t expanded capacity for 6 months.
What about vaccines. Surely it is best to to get every citizen in the world vaccinated as opposed to having a 'cure' for the rich nations?
Politicians are involved in a heinous form of risk-taking through knowledge of likely death, grievous bodily harm, psychological harm, murderous intent. These are actual crimes, serious offences involving prison sentences. Politicians know 💉 causes death yet pursue 💉 mandates.
Isn't there already a pill that's cheap as chips and won a Nobel?
