And that is very true, hopefully the market corrects itself like the U.S.market has this week, and just gets the backing from CEPI and UK Goverment to get this over the line.
Take care crumbs, good sport, I think that 3 points for Chelsea was far more important that what it was for City despite the prize at the end of the day. I am beaming from cheek to cheek, Hope that will still ne the case after the F.A.CUP Final and the Champions League Final, and don"t forget our ladies team, going for 4 trophies this year, League Champions if we win with City breathing down our necks. Both clubs are a credit to the sport.
And I can't ever see Lindy and the Sally and the gang getting on a plane to Delhi to show an Indian company that has got a zillion $ US grant more than scancell has ever had in its existence how to knock out a Covidity,... just ain't going to happen :)
Though .... at least we would soon have a trial then lol!
Well, the thing with manufacturing is you don't need to do a partnership deal with a pharma there if you look at what Sanofi is doing with modern and Pfizer etc... you basically do a manufacturing deal with a capable company such as Sanofi etc...
Its always good to look at what the other side of the argument are saying and I read about the patent waiver in the Indian Times which is obviously very pro waiver... They make it sound like they could just knock out a pfizer/moderna vax themselves for peanuts which is just not real world true ... its ok having the ingredients which are not all easy to come by and its ok to have a recipe but to put that all together and use the right cooking tools and even more importantly have the capable cooks is not like building a honda motorcycle out of coke cans.... moderna has already given up its vax IP .... no one has took it on... because no one can make it apart from modern and probably a few others who already have their own mRNA vaxs... Covidity falls into the same sphere of complexity as those vaxs ... they just cant copy it ... at least not in the time needed
Easy to identity the markets where a vaccine such as COVIDITY could be so vital and other 2nd gen vaccines too, but it would be good to know what we have in store for our manufacturing capabilities as we go into Phase 1 trials.
I have read some great articles on this subject the last few days and that one also cites the manufacturing capabilities we have, which means nothing whatever Bidens plans might be or reason to go so public on the issue. I think to a certain extent he is voicing Trumps biggest vote winner which was America for Americans and is looking to other countries to maximise their capabilities in adding to the amount of vaccines they can export.
However, regardless of the volume that can be freed up, history tells us that distributing it to the people who need it the most is a real problem, do the people of countries that receive enormous amounts of aid ever truly benefit from it. That to me is a real issue and I just look at how quickly the American market came back from the original news, once again leaving our market and Europes seriously lagging behind.
I can"t imagine anybody not wanting to see a solution to this problem, I just cannot see how we can beat this COVID crisis without every country being vaccinised until herd immunity exists everywhere, but I just can"t see tht happening in the short to mid term.
Street politics aside I am very pleased to see a vote of thanks to the Tory Government for their successes in handling this, and didn"t Strarmer get hammered for what I would call a pitiful response, even trying to cause mistrust in a Government we really neede to trust to see the results we have seen of today. Just IMHO.
His whole blog is brilliant .... would be great to see scancell tech covered on it one day... A day when we have actual data from 3 trials! ...

"...This is why many comments on this decision have called it as much of a public relations move as anything else. I can see the point. It is indeed a big step for a US administration to call for something like this, because the US (with a large proportion of the R&D-driven industry in the world) has traditionally been very hard-line on patent protection. But calling for it is not the same as delivering it (for various definitions of “it” and various values assigned to them!) For now, the US government has agreed to start to think about how to negotiate the issue, with details to follow at an undetermined later point."
Great article IMO, definitely worth a read.
