REUTERS: The Biden administration is examining ways to ensure that a waiver of COVID-19 vaccine patents to aid poor countries will not hand sensitive US biopharmaceutical technology to China and Russia, responding to a chorus of concerns, US and industry officials say.
A senior Biden administration official said that while the priority is saving lives, the United States"would want to examine the effect of a waiver on China and Russia before it went into effect to ensure that it's fit for purpose." Enforcing limits on use of the technology could be very difficult, once handed over, some analysts say. Messenger RNA, used in COVID-19 vaccines by leaders Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna, is a newly developed biotechnology that holds promise for treatments far beyond vaccines."It took Pfizer and Moderna years and years of research to develop these vaccines," said Gary Locke a former US ambassador to China and US Commerce Secretary.
Who cares what a 4th world banana republic - US - has to say. Get Moderna directly or CanSino Biologics (COVIDICEA), Sinopharm (Sinovac), or Sputnik V. They’re excellent & they’re the ORIGINALS from which US pharmas made POOR COPIES. Get with the program. Know the FACTS not BRAND
China vaccines has reached out to almost all corners of the earth beneffitting most people
USA said yes to the waivers knowing that the EU would never agree to it........NICE MOVE.
News to Biden, Fosun is a shareholder of BioNTech and has already built a plant in China to start manufacturing mRNA vaccines later this year...🙄
