Genocidal patents__Intellectual property against human lives


Still following the post above about the shortcomings of the current patent system and the fact that the corporate sector is making gargantuan profits on research paid by taxpayers, it's about time that the same European Union that helped funding with billions of euros the research that led to the development of Covid-19 vaccine should enforce a bypass on its (genocidal) patents rights in order that any lab in the world can produce those vaccines:

"Ideally, the companies should agree to share the blueprint of their vaccines. So far, however, no corporation has released the rights. It is not about expropriating intellectual property. Of course, the owners of the patents should be paid compensation — minus, however, the huge sums that governments invested in the development of these vaccines"
