Oxford promised to make their vaccine open source, and then Bill Gates strong-armed them into selling exclusive rights to AstraZeneca<\/a>, because Bill Gates is philosophically opposed to the free exchange of information. <\/p>\n

There will be tens of thousands of people will die of Covid-19, particularly in poor countries, because open source gives him butt-hurt. <\/p>\n

Next time you see Bill Gates, ask him why he decided to kill thousands.<\/p>\n

More chilling is that the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation is dedicated to promulgating his twisted view of public health on the rest of the world: <\/p>\n

In a business driven by profit, vaccines have a problem. They\u2019re not very profitable \u2014 at least not without government subsidies. Pharma companies favor expensive medicines that must be taken repeatedly and generate revenue for years or decades. Vaccines are often given only once or twice. In many parts of the world, established vaccines cost a few dollars per dose or less. <\/p>\n

Last year only four companies were making vaccines for the U.S. market, down from more than 20 in the 1970s. As recently as Feb. 11, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the government\u2019s top infectious disease expert, complained that no major drug company had committed to \u201cstep up\u201d to make a coronavirus vaccine, calling the situation \u201cvery difficult and frustrating.\u201d <\/p>\n

Oxford University surprised and pleased advocates of overhauling the vaccine business in April by promising to donate the rights to its promising coronavirus vaccine to any drugmaker. <\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026\u2026 <\/p>\n

A few weeks later, Oxford\u2014urged on by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation\u2014reversed course. It signed an exclusive vaccine deal with AstraZeneca that gave the pharmaceutical giant sole rights and no guarantee of low prices\u2014with the less-publicized potential for Oxford to eventually make millions from the deal and win plenty of prestige. <\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026\u2026 <\/p>\n

Even as governments shower money on an industry that has not made vaccines a priority in the past, critics say, failure to alter the basic model means drug industry executives and their shareholders will get rich with no assurance that future vaccines will be inexpensively available to all. <\/p>\n

\u201cIf there were ever an opportunity\u201d to change the economics of vaccine development, \u201cthis would have been it,\u201d said Ameet Sarpatwari, an epidemiologist and lawyer at Harvard Medical School who studies drug-pricing regulation. Instead, \u201cit is business as usual, where the manufacturers are getting exclusive rights and we are hoping on the basis of public sentiment that they will price their products responsibly.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u2026\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

Oxford backed off from its open-license pledge after the Gates Foundation urged it to find a big-company partner to get its vaccine to market. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe went to Oxford and said, Hey, you\u2019re doing brilliant work,\u201d Bill Gates told reporters on June 3, a transcript shows. \u201cBut \u2026 you really need to team up.\u201d The comments were first reported by Bloomberg. <\/p>\n

AstraZeneca, one of the U.K.\u2019s two major pharma companies, may have demanded an exclusive license in return for doing a deal, said Ken Shadlen, a professor at the London School of Economics and an authority on pharma patents\u2014a theory supported by comments from CEO Soriot. <\/p>\n

\u201cI think IP [intellectual property, or exclusive patents] is a fundamental part of our industry and if you don\u2019t protect IP, then essentially there is no incentive for anybody to innovate,\u201d Soriot told the newspaper The Telegraph<\/a>in May.<\/p>\n

Some see the Gates Foundation, a heavy funder of Gavi, CEPI and many other vaccine projects, as supporting traditional patent rights for pharma companies. <\/p>\n

\u201c[Bill] Gates has staked out this outsized role in the vaccine world,\u201d Love said. \u201cHe has an ideological belief that the intellectual property system is a wonderful mechanism that is necessary for innovation and prosperity.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In just the next year, it is clear Bill Gates will ultimately be responsible for more deaths than Osama bin Laden was on 9\/11.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
