That biden has signaled that he supports “a” IP reform not “the” IP reform (full waiving of rights) that activists have been pushing for. And that if we all go home and call it a day it leaves the administration open to pull some kind of 1/4 measure bullshit with tons of caveats and exceptions
In short, Dems are saying yes to a waiver, but not the one proposed. Idea is that they will ride the publicity wave, and not end up doing anything that actually helps. Even waiving the patent doesn't help the Global South with the infrastructure and support they will need to start manufacturing.
