Statement from Ambassador Katherine Tai on the Covid-19 Trips Waiver
05/05/2021

WASHINGTON – United States Trade Representative Katherine Tai today
released a statement announcing the Biden-Harris Administration’s support
for waiving intellectual property protections for COVID-19 vaccines.

“This is a global health crisis, and the extraordinary circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures. The Administration
believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of
ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines. We will actively participate in text-based negotiations at the
World Trade Organization (WTO) needed to make that happen. Those
negotiations will take time given the consensus-based nature of the
institution and the complexity of the issues involved.

“The Administration’s aim is to get as many safe and effective vaccines to as many people as fast as possible. As our vaccine supply for the American people is secured, the Administration will continue to ramp up its efforts – working with the private sector and all possible partners – to expand
vaccine manufacturing and distribution. It will also work to increase the
raw materials needed to produce those vaccines.”

These extraordinary times and circumstances of call for extraordinary
measures.

The US supports the waiver of IP protections on COVID-19 vaccines to help
end the pandemic and we’ll actively participate in @WTO negotiations to
make that happen.

美国疫苗里面有些关键技术不是美国的,如包裹mRNA的纳米材料。之前moderna就在跟
加拿大的一个小公司打官司,想白嫖。这下好了,在“道德”面前,终于成功了。。。

沒差,全世界都是給某一種類型的人打工的。

此外,我不認爲如果別的patent可以坐地收錢,這個就不能。
