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

For one thing, whether they want it more or less likely to have people around next time who can do this kind of work

The US also has more vaccines on order than we need for everyone last one of us. We need it to go to other countries. What is there to contemplate? We do not live on a hermetically sealed island although we often act as if we do.

They don’t want people to know the ingredients are deadly.

Just like the polio vaccine, no one should own or profit from any lifesaving drug.

They shouldn't have a patent on this. We paid for the drug. They didn't have to risk any of their own money to make this drug. If they want a patent then they need to give back all the money we already paid them.

The hit their donor base could potentially take, and whether or not they'd have any big money donors left after they do it

They need to consider how this will effect campaign donations from Big Pharma. Protect “The Party” at all costs.

Yeah they definitely aren't going to do that. They are just stalling from having to say, "Yep, it's all a grift and about money."
