I started my comments by saying that we were not going to recommend a solution, and I'm certain that, if I were to canvass the membership of IPIC, there would be a diversity of views.
What I can say is that a pragmatic solution is needed. We're trying to get vaccines to as many people as possible, and talking about intellectual property rules is just one means for consideration. It may be a tool that's useful. It may be that a TRIPS waiver is an option. It may be that there's something short of that which makes sense, depending on whether other capacity can be marshalled.
We heard from Mr. Yadav about four barriers: manufacturing equipment, skilled workers, regulatory agencies and the free flow of supply lines. If there is a solution that somebody puts forward where a TRIPS waiver will couple with those and lead to better outcomes than any other solution that's on the table, then we shouldn't ignore it.
At the same time, there are a lot of good people trying to do good things, and we need to make sure we look at everything. This is one where some might say the more the merrier, but others might say there are too many cooks in the kitchen. Some smart people need to figure out which one we're dealing with here.
