    At this point stealing all the vaccine technology/formulas like the DPRK did is the only moral choice. Vaccine researchers should just upload their vaccine IP to the internet, Pharma executives losing out on a bit of profit is the kind option.

        Unironically yes. All vaccine research should have been public and shared, fuck all this nonsense about companies and shit, give me the magnet link to "Phizer_COVID-19_Vaccine.pdf"

          Especially because the research was at least partly publicly funded.

          For the development of the vaccine, Biontec received 375 million, Curevac 252 million - all government funds. And BEFORE approval, the big companies join as partners. Pfizer for Biontec, Bayer for Curevac, AstraZeneca for Moderna and buy ready-made government innovations.

          For which the corporations get about three billion Euros from the German state AGAIN in sales.

          The states buy something for a lot of money that they've created themselves. This is the stupidest phase of capitalism
