> To make a vaccine you not only need to have the right to produce the actual substance they are composed of (which is protected by patents), you also need to have the knowledge about how to make them because the technology can be complex. Let's be clear here, this is not about vaccines this year. It's not like Country X is going to get a factory up and running and putting out the Pfizer vaccine in the next 3-6 months. That's ridiculous. The argument that phrama companies are making is that the benefit in the short-term and even mid-term distribution is miniscule, which means you're asking them to lose control of their product (which by the way carries reputational and even public health consequences if the production is remotely substandard) so that *long-term* countries can make their own vaccine. This is not the slam-dunk "big pharma evil" this thread is making this out to be.
