      The WTO adopted the proposed partial waiver of vaccines in 2022. Several nations adopted a complete patent waiver for all vaccines. The Gates Foundation endorsed it after Bill’s initial objections.

        Reversing opinions after the damage has been done is nothing but a PR stunt. My question again.

        Which other companies produced the Oxford Vaccine?

          I just explained to you that the patent waivers were a thing after the Gates Foundation endorsed them. WTF do you mean “after damage was done”?

            patent waivers were a thing after the Gates Foundation endorsed them.

            Too late to damage the share price of their Pharma holdings.

            Gates flew to Oxford and forced (as a provder of funding) the University into an exclusive deal with AstraZeneca.

            There has been no Oxford vaccine production by any other company.

            Late patent wavers are shutting the door after the horse has bolted. The mRNA technology already had its population scale field test.
