When we say “science driven politics”: certainly President Joseph Biden is a standard bearer. To the extreme consequences. Yesterday, in a completely unpredictable move, he had his trade representative, Katherin Tai, say that: yes, drug companies must open drawers and give up patents on Covid vaccines. It is by no means certain that this opening of the White House will lead to the liberation of licenses because, in this regard, the rules of the WTO are stringent, but certainly the fact that their president puts them in the corner will weigh heavily on Big Pharma’s decisions, just as Pfizer announces an increase in vaccine sales of more than 70%.
