Look at what #Salk did with the polio vaccine He gave it out for free to save lives. Our govt gave billions to manufacturers to develop a vaccine and the govt must demand that the discoveries be shared with the world at cost at the very least!

I worked at the World Intellectual Property Organization in Genรจve (1997-2004) ~ if I weren't an Anti-IP dude, I might have stayed there 22y and earned a pension. IP rights (Imo) should only be assigned to humans(!); not the corporations employing them and coopting their ideas.

Speaking of greed, Robert Reich emailed that the GOP is poised to "gut" Social Security to pay for tax cuts and supporting corporations! What! We have to not allow that! Are all Social Security recipients to live on the street!

In addition there's the greed of nations, scrambling like monopolists to secure enough doses to vaccinate their population multiple times over and leaving poorer countries to wait it out. youtube.com/2ty2J0s2W0c
