RE: Covid 19 and patents22 May 2021 22:36
Nol, you know the answer to that... you're not new here or stupid, why are you asking?
If the Vaccines arent covered by their patents, less developed countries can make the vaccine for themselves (providing they can afford the raw materials and to do the research to reverse engineer the product and mechanism to make it safely, which most undevelopedcountries probablycant do).
The upshot being no pharma would develop another vaccine. It's all in the article, try reading the article you posted.
Important to note it is only VACCINES that it would apply to, so it would be grest for SP of treatments.
