Our neoliberal governments want to treat #covid19 as a business (that's how they view everything; like a blacksmith with his/her toolset), not as a public #health crisis. They want us to think the profit motive will solve everything. #patent #patents #monopolies

As long as #covid19 #vaccines are #patent pools or, in effect, #monopolies ... there is a LACK OF FINANCIAL incentive to solve the #pandemic and improve the vaccines. #patents should be canceled for this.

You want to end the #pandemic ? OK, me too, so start by taking away ALL the #patents from #covid19 #vaccine makers if those #patent #monopolies are part of the COVID patent pools. ALL OF THEM. DISCARD.

The rest of my day will be spent analysing a week's worth of #trademark and #patent news. I'm not ranting; I just give my frank interpretation of what #corruptMedia is saying, having been paid by #monopolies and #litigation firms.
