• You want to end the #pandemic ? OK, me too, so start by taking away ALL the #patents from #covid19 #vaccine makers if those #patent #monopolies are part of the COVID patent pools. ALL OF THEM. DISCARD.    

posted Sunday, December 12, 2021 at 15:37:28

• Two main reasons #covid19 #patents kill millions of people (there are more reasons, but the main pair is this): 1) the #vaccine companies lack a financial incentive to end the pandemic. 2) the patents increase the price of doses to 20-50 times the cost of production. This limits the reach or #AccessToMedicine (by design). Their "donations" are fake; costs them PENNIES.
