Pfizer, in an announcement at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, said it will begin offering at cost to 45 low-income nations the full slate of products for which it has global rights.

In May, the drug giant had begun offering 23 of its patented drugs to poor countries on a not-for-profit basis.

"We launched the Accord to help reduce the glaring health equity gap that exists in our world," Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement. "The Accord portfolio offering now includes both patented and off-patent medicines and vaccines that treat or prevent many of the greatest infectious and non-communicable disease threats faced today in lower-income countries," Pfizer said.

So basically there is a war in Europe now..Allies v Russia ( China/India/Iran/Iraq/Afghanistan ) Can't believe you're pressuring Germany into involvement in a war Absolutely shameful. That'd be literally declaring war to Russia instead of finding a compromise. Any compromise that would allow to stop the war should be considered as a good compromise, no question asked. Now you're looking at pushing Russia to press a red button. Not good!
