Any comparison between Carter and Biden would be superficial. Biden is the consummate "insider", and he has appointed many highly competent insiders to key positions in his administration.
Even less excuse for Biden to make such a wimpy and useless decision to throw the American businesses under the bus when it's not even going to have any effect in widening access to the vaccines, vaccines that are already being sold to developing countries below the cost.
China is coming out with its own mRNA vaccine soon. Are we going to see China waiving IP protection to its own vaccine?
