Fauci: COVID-19 vaccine patent waiver should not be 'off the table'

Anthony Fauci said Wednesday that a waiver for COVID-19 patent protections should not be off the table, while also pointing to other possible options to increase access to vaccines in lower-income countries.

"I think it's certainly an option that we should not take off the table," Fauci, the government's top infectious diseases expert, told The Hill's Steve Clemons.

"I believe we have a moral obligation, Steve, to make sure that the rest of the world does not suffer and die, as it were, from something that we can help them with and help to prevent," he added.

Fauci: give away private property to somebody else and throw away the patent. Yeah, that's the Marxist ticket.

ERmmmm....Fauci and 6 others at the NIH own a portion of the Moderna patent...

If you look at the CDC Foundations' website you can see Bill Gates, George Soros, PFizer etc. contribute funds. Guess who's driving the 'plandemic'?

Bill Gates, George Soros and others are driving the CDC's medical Tyranny with Private Donations to CDC Foundation. We have to reject the CDC to free ourselves.

Question: How much taxpayer money was thrown at Phizer, Astra Zeneca, and J&J to develope the vaccine? They literally have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

It cracks me up how you always manage to misstate and and overstate basic information.

NIH owns the the patent to the “stabilized spike protein” and has adopted a non-exclusive licensing approach.

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6956323-NIH-Statement-to-Axios.html

This is not the same as Moderna’s vaccine platform patent and Bill Gates is not a major shareholder in Moderna.

And this is exactly what the government should be doing with government owned patents.

That’s not a waiver. A waiver is an exemption from an obligation. This is a usurpation of a company’s right to the fruits of its labor.

Words have meanings, not whatever meaning someone gives them.

It should be off of the table. Stop the socialism. Stop the global control freak NGOs. Stop pushing the mass migrations.

MUST READ and spread the word.

Pfizer told the FDA that eight (of approximately 22,000) volunteers in its vaccine group developed a PCR-confirmed case of COVID-19, versus 162 of 22,000 volunteers in the placebo group. Moderna reported a similar spread — five out of 15,000 in the vaccine group versus 90 out of 15,000 in the placebo group.

When one does the math, the Pfizer clinical trial numbers showed: “The risk reduction in absolute terms [was] only 0.7%, from an already very low risk of 0.74%.

The difference is .04% increase in covid risk ... with NO RISK from vaccine.

The only people who would surrender patent rights are communists and Marxists.

No, they would lose big.
It’s not just this particular vaccine. It’s the process to make many more vaccines for other diseases in a similar way. That’s their future that would be taken away.

Perhaps I said it wrong or incompletely. Big pharma has nothing to lose and everything to gain by keeping the patents that our tax dollars paid them to develope while getting immunity from the harm they might cause.

It’s good to have corporate welfare.

I saw an interview with GatesofHell in the last week or so where he bragged over getting a 20-to-1 return on his billion or so invested in COVID-related stuff; and that no, we wouldn't give patent waivers to help the Third World.

Which is odd cause most Microsoft employees seem to be from India anymore ("have you tried shutting down and rebooting your immune system?")

Jeopardy host: “A great way to guarantee no new vaccine will ever be developed here again.”

Contestant: “What is a vaccine patent waiver?”

“have you tried shutting down and rebooting your immune system?”

Yes I have — it’s not recommended.
