YOU SAID: "Vaccine patent protection waving is a good move to make ,"
== Pffttt. Who says? YOU?!?!?! You just said, "waving" instead of "waiving." You don't even know how to SPELL what you're asserting!! What could you possibly know about it?
YOU SAID: "because it will certainly help poor countries, and helping poor countries is the same as helping rich countries or helping every country in the world"
== What in the world are you blabbering? How does helping a poor country result in helping rich countries? How is it NOT just stealing from rich and giving to poor? And, why would it "help" anybody to basically destroy future vaccines from happening at the speed that the COVID vaccine happened at? Who's going to pour billions into research and development of a drug, if the government is just going to basically swoop in and give your hard work away for free? If they do this, and waive (not "wave" - good grief) patent rights, you can basically forget about any big drug company bothering to develop vaccines in the future. The next pandemic will sweep through the world, and nobody is going to do a thing to stop it, because if you deny a company's ability to get their money back from billions of dollars of investment, that company will never do that again.
YOU SAID: "I said last year that the human health problem could never ever locally or nationally nor regionally solved , but it could be only globally solved , simply because as long as there is still infection of the deadly RNA pathogen in any part or any country of the world , the danger of a resurging of global spread of new and more dangerous variants of the deadly virus would obviously be possible"
== Um, yeah, soooooo, why do you think it's a good idea to give away the intellectual property rights?? Shouldn't that mean you OPPOSE giving away intellectual property rights? If/when a new strain runs around the world, and needs a different vaccine to deal with it, who's going to develop the new vaccine. You're basically guaranteeing that a company will not be paid back for future vaccines. So, you'll quickly find that every manufacturer of vaccines will simply get out of that business altogether. Make no mistake about this, giving away intellectual property rights is basically THEFT. These drug companies don't make money on the basis of just manufacturing someone else's drugs. They make money on the intellectual property rights. Look at Akorn as an example. As soon as they stopped developing new drugs, and decided to just focus on manufacturing generic drugs (no intellectual property rights), what happened? Where are they now? BANKRUPT!!! They were billions in debt, and eventually had to just dissolve the company and was taken over by their creditors for pennies on the dollar. Do you think that same thing can't happen to every other drug company, if the government can just step in and steal the intellectual property rights away from drug manufacturers?
YOU SAID: "By speeding up vaccination of all human population of all countries in the world as fast as possible, it can help reduce the rate of mutations of the deadly virus, and therefore it will make it less difficult to stop and put an end to the pandemic for all to return to a normal life sooner"
== Fine, then those countries need to PAY FOR IT!!!! We cannot just hand out free vaccines to the world. Put the poorer countries on a long term payment plan if you have to, but, sorry, you can't just expect drug companies to just give away billions of doses of drugs for free.
YOU SAID: "Pharmaceutical companies should not be allowed to take the global human health problem as an opportunity to make huge profits out of human health tragedy"
== So, you want to bankrupt them instead, and basically make sure they never again invest money into future vaccines. Oh, you're a real genius. Look, silly fool, we are not talking about Martin Shkreli, who bought up the rights to specialized drugs, then jacked up the prices by a +50x multiplier. Instead of $13 per dose, he charged $750 per dose. No. We are talking about long established drug companies charging reasonable profits for putting in the time and money to quickly develop new drugs. Now, you want to just take that away from them? Why? Because it saves lives? Um, ok. Why just these drugs then? Why not insulin? That saves millions of lives too, you know. Why not all of the heart medications that prevent people from coronary disease and heart attacks? Those drugs save millions of lives. Should those drug manufacturers give away the rights those drugs for free also? Where do you draw your line in the sand? Hey, crazy maniac, I have news for you... if you take away a company's ability to make money from life saving drugs, guess what, THEY WILL STOP DEVELOPING NEW LIVE SAVING DRUGS!!!
YOU SAID: "because it is inhumane, disgusting, and prolonging the pandemic and suffering of every country in the world when they try to do so"
== Good grief. Spare the sob story. Nobody is saying that these countries are going to be denied the drugs. They can go on a payment plan. Quit your dramatic hatred, and show a little gratitude. These companies developed these vaccines in record time, faster than anything in prior history. And, now you want to steal their hard work, give it away for free, and call them inhumane and disgusting for doing it??? Talk about biting the hand that feeds!!! YOU are the disgusting one here, you're just not intelligent enough to realize it.
YOU SAID: "The main purpose of every human is to put an end to the pandemic as soon as in every way possible , but not to to prrolong it for greedy capitalist pharmaceutical companies to make profits on their fellow kind's deaths and suffering"
== These companies have made it their purpose to develop drugs to save people... and you're spitting in their faces and accusing them of the opposite??? Again, YOU are the disgusting person here. You are encouraging theft. You are slandering the people who poured the last 18 months of their lives into tirelessly working around the clock to save the world from this pandemic, accusing them of being the "bad guys." And, for what? For making the vaccines, then not wanting to bankrupt themselves by giving it away for free? For not wanting to set a precedent that would make it impossible to expect companies to develop vaccines in the future, because that intellectual property would just be stolen from them anyway?
You have got to be one of the most delusional and insane people I've seen on the internet in a long time.
