Biden administration wants to waive the intellectual property rights of Pfizer, Moderna, etc. It is not clear this would have any impact on production of vaccines in the near/medium term.
Does anyone think this is a good idea? Should the US government be able to strip these property rights? Might this have an impact on research in the next pandemic?
IMO, if the USA wants to get vaccines to the 3rd world, it should purchase said vaccines and ship them there. Biden’s stance is completely hare-brained.
