"“This is a global health crisis, and the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures."
Uh no this is not a global health crisis when you have the country that has the largest population in the world having this for new cases and deaths:
And the worldwide new cases and deaths like this:
are with close to 50% of the new cases and deaths from ONE country, India:
So clearly this is not a global health crisis, this is an Indian health crisis despite carefully planned health measures that allowed these:
or this:
Or this
So do we help others despite them making irresponsible mistakes? Of course we do. This is why both Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson have provided their vaccines below cost to India and various 3rd countries to help them overcome the pandemic.
But should we lift off the patent protection to let the whole world know the secret sauce of our vaccines that we have spent 10+ years of research and BILLIONS of dollars of investment in obtaining just because of ONE country? And it also begs the question that if it's just ONE country in the world that's having the worst bout of this pandemic, WHY are all the other countries who are struggling but are largely able to keep the pandemic control want to know how to make the vaccine?
Lifting off the patent protection of the vaccine is like forcing somebody who's studied hard for the test to open up his answer sheet to everybody to let everybody copy his answers because one student in the class complained that the test is too hard and he's going to fail because he's been partying hard and never bothered to study even though everybody's given weeks to prepare for the test and the studious student even tried to study with him. If you have been this student who's studied hard and worked hard at least once in your life, you will appreciate how unfair it is to you and how discouraged that you became afterwards. Clearly Biden has never been this student that's worked hard.
But fear not there are others who have also studied hard:

Perhaps that student will be willing to open up his answer sheet to let everybody copy during the test?
