Biden’s drama about vaccines
The theme of removing patent protection from vaccines proposed by Joe Biden is undoubtedly an ethically exalting aspect, especially for a politically correct shit society like ours, but in terms of execution it is, in fact, pure shit. The Cameo of Riccardo Ruggeri, founder of Zafferanonews
I urge readers to consider this Cameo a divertissement. There is nothing more fun than high politics, that of ethical-moral breath, at no cost.
The theme of removing patent protection from vaccines proposed by Joe Biden is undoubtedly an ethically exalting aspect, especially for a politically correct shit society like ours, but in terms of execution it is, in fact, pure shit, talk stuff. early evening show.
Removing patent protection on Pfizer and Moderna is useless, because the two American vaccines cannot be used outside technologically advanced countries, such as Europe and the USA. In fact, they need a sophisticated cold chain at minus 80 degrees (sic!) That few countries in the world have. So the two American premium vaccines, conceived and intended for the "rich of the world", remain outside any globalist plan. And Biden knows it.
Then he knows very well that real life is dominated, not by dreams or goals, but by banal execution. Vaccinating 7.5 billion people in 200 countries, in order to have herd immunity worldwide, and repeating it for variants, is a proposal out of reality. Just as he knows very well that the proposal to remove the legal protections of vaccines would require times that are incompatible with the needs that he himself has advanced. The fact that this constitutes a dangerous precedent is also evident, so the times would expand even more. The problem is not the Big Pharmas, used like the witches of the seventeenth century to concentrate on them all the hatred of the unwary. These on the principles will never give up, while on the formula there will be availability, especially if they will pay royalties, even formal ones.
The problem is another: implementation times. It seems that only in the WTO (bureaucracy) it takes a couple of years, both for the consensual approach envisaged by the protocols, and for the technical-legal complexity of the problem. Then there is the industrial-logistic-medical aspect: investments on "bottlenecks", on long-term supply machinery, on quality controls (who guarantees that the vaccine is made correctly, according to the formula?), On construction of new variant vaccines (who will study them? and with what funds?). Always keeping out the two American "premium vaccines", for objective logistical lack of applicability. I repeat, it is ridiculous to think of a cold chain at minus 80 degrees, for example, in a subcontinent like India, Himalayan in the north, tropical in the south.
Those involved in geopolitics immediately understood that Biden's was not an "ethical gaffe", which would still be curious for a president who so far has not wanted to give a single vaccine abroad (an "America first" is his much more radical than that of the "bad" Donald Trump), but a political plan: to help India from falling under the Chinese heel, also using the vaccine as a weapon. In this sense he had the immediate solidarity of Russia of Vladimir Putin and the coldness of Germany of Angela Merkel, whose income statement and balance sheet is dependent on Xi Jinping. Therefore the vaccine problem, according to the new US doctrine, does not concern so much the world as India, a bulwark against China.
Brilliant Mario Draghi who invented a brilliant Italian-style communication exit strategy (“the vaccine is a common good”) that is politically correct, but which in terms of execution says nothing and does not commit us. Fresh water is also a common good, what does that mean? In any case, that's fine, since Draghi's existence, Italy is no longer the donkey behind the blackboard that remained there for thirty years.
What will happen? As Angela Merkel suggests, the Biden model will soon deflate. The West and Putin's Russia will donate to India, in anti-China terms, the formula of some conventional vaccine for the poor at zero royalties. Given that India already has industrial-productive capabilities, it could probably become a supplier to poor countries and do business as well. China will take care of Africa since it is already its protectorate, vaccinating only the ruling classes. The "rich of the world" will continue, peacefully, to vaccinate with Pfizer and Moderna.
And everyone, vaccinated and revaccinated, will live happily ever after, forever and ever. Prosit!
