ROME — Pope Francis called for universal access to coronavirus vaccines and “the temporary suspension of intellectual property rights” Saturday.
“God the Creator instills in our hearts a new and generous spirit to abandon our individualisms and promote the common good,” the pope told participants in the VAX LIVE concert, “a spirit of justice that mobilizes us to ensure universal access to the vaccine and the temporary suspension of intellectual property rights.”
Solidarity and fraternity are needed to overcome the pandemic, the pope insisted in a Spanish language video message for the event, but these virtues are suffocated by individualism, nationalism, and an over-emphasis on property rights.
“We need paths of healing and salvation,” Francis said. “And I mean a root healing, which heals the cause of evil and does not remain only in the symptoms.”
“In these diseased roots we find the virus of individualism, which does not make us freer or more equal or more siblings, rather it makes us indifferent to the suffering of others,” he said. “And a variant of this virus is closed nationalism, which prevents, for example, an internationalism of vaccines.”
“Another variant is when we put the laws of the market or intellectual property over the laws of love and the health of humanity,” he continued.
Billed as “the Concert to Reunite the World,” VAX LIVE premiered May 8, hosted by Selena Gomez and chaired by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The event features performances by Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Vedder, and the Foo Fighters, as well as appearances by Ben Affleck, Chrissy Teigen, David Letterman, and Sean Penn.
“Receive a cordial greeting from this old man, who does not dance or sing like you do, but who believes with you that injustice and evil are not invincible,” the pope told participants in the...

Pope Frank is one of the bad guys.
Dibs on the Vatican!
Man, this guy is an anti-Christ.
So next time there is a pandemic, or any health crisis, no company will waste their money to research and develop a vaccine or cure.
What an idiot.
Sure. Pfizer and the rest won’t mind.
But Pope Stupid the First, if you don’t mind, they will just suspend ever developing a vaccine at warp speed, incurring liability and galactic costs again.
So Pope Stupid the First, next pandemic (which China will undoubtedly release) you can shove Pfizer and rest coming to the rescue right up your holy arse.
“In these diseased roots we find the virus of individualism,”
@$#%^&* Commie.
Let’s start withe removing the property rights of Bill GatesofHell, Warren Buffoon, Jeff Bozo, George Sore-Ass, and Mark ZuckerBorg.
Sorry, vicar of anti-Christ — we believe in private property.
Suspension of property rights is illegal theft, and is never temporary. He wants the drug companies to give their products away free. This is understandable. The pope is a communist and wants private property seized and redistributed.
Then why doesn’t he sell the riches of the Vatican and give them to the “poor”?
How about that church sell enough of their priceless artwork to pay fir it imstead.
Will Francis also suspend the church’s ownership of the Vatican art works? I hope so, because they own a couple of paintings that would look great in my living room.

That is an excellent point, and one that no socialist or communist bothers to consider.
Property rights are how a free society breaths. So, how long can any body suspend breathing?
P2 calls for a long, “temporary” suspension of Pope Marx.
Everybody wants the public to have access to a safe and effective vaccine. And as far as I can tell, everyone involved is doing what they can to make this happen. So what the hell is Pope Francis even talking about???
This pope deliberately goes out of his way to be provactive, and radical, and well, socialist.
This is not intended to insult Catholics but I have to ask why are you all still putting up with this POC?
Is there no way to fire him? Impeach Recall Vote of No Confidence?
He is an evil on the earth. He is vile.
How long do we have to put up with him?

This will go over like a lead heliostat with the Corporatists. Francis should be careful. The multinationals will not put up with anyone tampering with their billions in profit from the vaccines.
Life lesson #101: Never trust any man offering to provide security in exchange for “Rights.” there is no such thing as a temporary loss of rights...it is ALWAYS permanent.
IIRC, Selena has nude pictures on the internet.
Here’s an idea, I won’t tell the false pope what to do and he can’t tell me what to do.
