What do they have to “consider?”
The White House is considering whether to lift intellectual property protections on Covid-19 vaccines, sources say, which would allow other countries to replicate existing vaccines. @kaylatausche reports. cnb.cx/2P2KzLf

So much of the research data for the development of vaccine is public...the replication probably is simpler, however the public buy in would be higher with Pfizer / Moderna brands.

It is at a time such as this that I wish a Williamson administration was paving a path forward. Moral leadership matters. It’s time to do the right thing.

That's stupid. How do you know the producers are not pocketing the extra profit?
Replying to @marwilliamson
Here so many are denouncing capitalism for its money motivation. But they cannot see that those countries without a functioning capitalism cannot develop a vaccine. & the more capitalist US has vaccinated almost 15% of its population. The socialist EU has vaccinated only 4%!

Whether it will harm profits, which in our current socio-economic system, are of paramount importance. We need a new system. #TheVenusProject #ResourceBasedEconomy

Financial losses. How much will it cost.

The WH is considering how large a bribe they can get enforcing intellectual laws vs ignoring them.

The COVID-19 vaccine technology should be made free to the planet. It should be free for anyone who wants to take it.
