#waiver
as expected
massive #lobbying from the German pharma lobby to prevent the patent waiver on the #Covid vaccine in Germany
supported by all parties in #Germany from the old #Merkel government to the new one including the #Green-party #Grüne
one exception: gimme-chips-for-vaccines deal with Taiwan
no free vaccines despite public financing by the state due to the right of #intellectual-property - haha
anyone able to calculate the deaths worldwide by these reckless politics ?
translate with deepl
how #Pfizer #Biontech prevented the #waiver
