Again Europe begs.
They need to get it together ...they criticized Trump, too
Trump with Operation Warp Speed got 3 vaccines developed in less than a year, Europe with more people to my knowledge does not have a single vaccine developed at this time..
Yet somehow we are getting demands placed on us to release the IP to everyone...I would say, pay your bills with respect to NATO and negotiate better trade deals and maybe we will release a vaccine to you....
I know all that is a pipe dream but the shear arrogance of the EU is off the charts..
"Europe" is taking the position that most freepers have taken, which is against Biden. Like the USA, European companies own intellectual property in some of the most successful vaccines, including Pfizer/Biontech, Astrazenica, J&J (Janssen) and others. These vaccines can be produced in in sufficient quantities in the USA and Europe, or be licenced to manufacturers in Canada, India and others. The manufacturers are just trying to stop the theft of their intellectual property by CHINA. Biden wants to give the technology to China that has taken US and European companies over a decade to develop.
