Thank you.
I wanted to point out that BioNTech developed the vaccine, and Pfizer went on to manufacture it. The University of Oxford developed the AstraZeneca vaccine. Initially, AstraZeneca was supposed to have a non-exclusive licence, but in the end, it became an exclusive licence. Moderna's vaccine was wholly funded by the public sector.
Now, it's being argued that the vaccines were developed thanks to the protection of intellectual property, but that is not true. There is a difference. Some big companies are raking in huge profits under the guise of intellectual property. It is in their financial interest to ensure that as little knowledge as possible is shared about the manufacturing of the vaccines. As long as they control the technology and expertise, they keep their profit margins, and that's unacceptable.
