I’m not typically a “big pharma” person who thinks the entire medical industry is out to get you, and I’ve heard they actually do lose money on vaccines, but all this talk about intellectual property as though they’re trying to invent a really profitable phone app rather than cure a global pandemic is really frustrating. This is not the time to withhold information about testing or vaccines, it should be shared and spread as much as possible, voluntarily. I’m at a loss as to how this information being “stolen” jeopardizes public health rather than merely corporate profits.
