    I feel people have been completely housebroken into respecting IP laws as a word of god. This guy who made his billions by abusing IP laws and forming monopolies is one of the few people shaping international vaccine policy and everyone seems to be okay with it.

      The vast majority of countries in the global south are advocating for an IP waiver. It’s everybody against the empire.

        Yeah you’re correct. I wasn’t precise at all when I said “people” so that’s my bad.

          Yea there’s no way the western press would report on this. It’s crazy to think that the countries who voted “yes” represent the majority of people on earth, and yet nothing is happening.

      The money from his foundation has corrupted so many public health organizations… it’s really sad.
