How many children died because Bill Gates lobbied for the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine to be patented?
Your claim seems a bit BS. It was apparently to have a better distribution and quality.
AstraZeneca claimed not to get profits from the vaccine sales. This seems kind of fair knowing that doses were sold at about $4 USD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford%E2%80%93AstraZeneca_COVID-19_vaccine#Early_development - https://reliefweb.int/report/world/uk-donates-20-million-more-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccines-countries-need)
Unless you're talking about the side effects?
4$ per dose is quite a lot of money for African countries. Not patenting it would allow them to create their own, which he blocked based on bullshit reasoning.
Idk how many people have died from Covid 19 vax? I keep taking it and my cock is huge, no other side effects
Gates is always whitewashing his own future or past actions when he does something philanthropic tbh
This. Thank you.
That was a villain level move from Gates. The behaviour of the rich nations towards the LICs over covid vaccines was absolutely shameful and destroyed the illusion of Gates' benevolence.
i heard about that, he advocated for expensive equipment, medicaiton only produced by the us.
