Among the drugmakers expected to announce doses for poorer nations are vaccine partners Pfizer and BioNTech , the official said, adding that at least two other companies are expected to make announcements on Friday. EU nations and other vaccine-making countries have opposed the patent waiver and urged instead the removal of U.S. trade barriers that they consider the main bottleneck preventing a ramping up of global vaccine production.
Leaders are also set to recognize "the importance of addressing the ACT-A funding gap," the text says, referring to the ACT-Accelerator, a tool of the World Health Organization to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, drugs and tests across the world.
Ugh. The drug companies benefited hugely from taxpayer-funded research in developing these vaccines, but now they own the patents? Externalized costs, internalized profits... Socialism for me, but not for thee...

Canada's COVID-19 vaccination rate likely to surpass U.S. this weekMore than 46 per cent of Canadians have been vaccinated with at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine as of Tuesday afternoon, putting Canada on track to surpass the U.S. It’s good news, it’s also using selective data to paint a pretty picture for our fed gov. Any American wanting a vaccine is been able to get one and it’s been that way for a while. Canada is more willing, so over time of course we will pass them. Issue is we were way behind. Sure. But about four weeks behind them. Small detail your readers might find relevant. Had Trudeau and the feds had half a brain, we would have had sufficient vaccine for the population a long time ago. Most of the comments to this tweet are from some miserable people who are not happy regardless of how positive the news is. You babies make me sick. Before you miserable people reply, CHANGE YOUR DIAPERS, DRINK A WARM BOTTLE AND HAVE A NAP, YOU ALL NEED IT.
