U.S. wants COVID vaccine patent waiver to benefit world, not boost China biotech
By Andrea Shalal, Carl O'Donnell and David Lawder
(Reuters) - The Biden administration is examining ways to ensure that a waiver of COVID-19 vaccine patents to aid poor countries will not hand sensitive U.S. biopharmaceutical technology to China and Russia, responding to a chorus of concerns, U.S. and industry officials say.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday backed the U.S. entering negotiations at the World Trade Organization for the waiver of intellectual property rights as a means to boost vaccine supplies by allowing poorer countries to make their own.
So far, vaccines have gone overwhelmingly to richer nations, which scooped up contracts for them earlier this year. [L1N2KP178] COVID-19 infection rates in wealthy countries have dropped as vaccination rates increased this year, but infections are still rising in 36 countries, with India's daily cases skyrocketing to nearly 400,000 a day....

The above said one thing, the evil Americans are hoarding on to the vaccines and refused to share with the rest of the world. Only after they have fully vaccinated their own people would they sell their vaccines at a very high profit to the rest of the world.
Till today, the Americans are not exporting any of the vaccines produced in the USA, at most 5% to their close allies. Even when India is now a hell house, they claimed to want to send aid to the tune of $100m worth but sent only a fraction of what they broadcast to the world.
And to keep on to their lies, they conveniently raised the red herring of China. It is because of China that they would not share the formula. What shit! China has many vaccines in production, does not need the American formula. China also has its own mRNA vaccines. What stupid lies to con the world? For their own selfish and evil reasons, the Americans would continue to keep the vaccines to themselves and letting more people around the world die while claiming they want to help the people of the world.
In the mean time Chinese vaccines are all over the world, especially in poorer countries at very low prices and saving millions and millions of lives. Without the Chinese vaccines many of the poorer countries would be in deep shit like in India and the USA, Brazil and Britain.
The rest of the world can wait long ling for the American vaccines and when available, paying for an arm or a leg. This is the true nature of the evil Americans, so 'caring and generous'.
While the white men are pretending to be serious in wanting to share their vaccines with the poorer countries, while they continue to bicker in their political show, there are so many vaccines from China and Russia that are available immediately but not approved by them for use to save lives. By the time the white men have finished their bickering, there would be no need for their vaccines. Those millions that needed not die would have been dead and the pandemic could be over.
Until today, despite the American loudspeaker blaring that they would help the rest of the world and sharing their vaccines for more than a year , the Americans have not share a single dose of their vaccines with poorer countries. They and the Brits are still hoarding all the vaccines they produced, not sharing.
Now why is Biden talking about wanting to waive but not waiving the copyrights of their vaccines, not sharing their formula for fear of leaking it to the Chinese, why this double talk? The truth, their vaccines have increasingly been proven to be ineffective, though they are not admitting it.
The main reason, listen to this, is that they want the formula of Chinese vaccines. For waiving the rights to their vaccines, the condition is for China to waive its rights and to share the formula with the Americans. They knew that the Chinese vaccines are effective and working, but not theirs, and desperately wanted to get hold of Chinese vaccines. Hear that, this is the real reason behind this change of agenda.
This is another big white lie.
The world's number liar exposed. And they have the cheek to accuse China of under reporting, not transparent, etc etc. Below is reported in the Yahoo News.
ReplyDeleteThe United States, which has reported the world's worst overall Covid-19 death toll, has "no doubt" been undercounting fatal cases, top pandemic advisor Anthony Fauci said Sunday.
The country has officially lost over 581,000 people to the disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus -- but a University of Washington study released Thursday estimated deaths at more than 900,000.
"That's a bit more than I would have thought the undercounting was," Fauci told NBC's "Meet The Press."
"But I think there's no doubt... that we are and have been undercounting."
At the rate the highly infectious and deadly Indian variant is allowed to spread in the island, soon we will be like India,
ReplyDeleteWhen would the imbeciles stop travel to and from India? If this is still going on, when it explodes here, we will know why and who did it.
The news said that out of 10 community infected patients in Singapore yesterday, 3 have been fully vaccinated. They did not say with which vaccine. If this is the norm, it means the vaccine used has an effectiveness of 70% not 96% as claimed. Leaves one to wonder, even though this may be just co-incidence.
ReplyDeleteThe COVID19 already killed many Americans well before Wuhan, as those were conveniently attributed to the common flu. That they refused to let scientist and doctors conduct investigation into those deaths says a lot about transparency. The virus originated from the USA and they shut down Fort Detrick when many people were dying of strange symptoms similar to flu. They are trying very hard to get away from this one, as they have gotten away with 911 being an inside job.
ReplyDeleteNow they are pushing the theory once again that the virus originated from Wuhan.
There were many reports that the world was conned by the Americans, that they vaccines barely worked. One of their top virus scientist took two jabs of Pfizer before going to India, thinking it was safe. He died of Covid19.
ReplyDeleteIn another few months they would likely to ban American vaccines. AstraZenega is as good as being dumped together with J&J vaccine.

ReplyDeleteFive Australians Suffer Blood-Clots in One Week After AstraZeneca Jab
By Nina Nguyen
May 6, 2021 Updated: May 6, 2021
Five Australians have developed blood clotting syndrome after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine in the past week, the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has confirmed.
They will keep denying and claimed no link to the vaccine.
The fake American freedom to choose is that you can only choose their fake democracy and nothing else. This is their version of freedom.
ReplyDeleteIf you choose anything else they have the right to kill and destroy you.
The USA actually brought this tragedy upon India. They asked India to counter China's vaccine diplomacy by coaxing India to export more of their vaccines widely. The stupid Indians followed the evil USA's instructions like a fool.
ReplyDeleteThe Indians foolishly did not leave any stockpile for eventualities, thinking they have beaten the virus, while the evil USA keeps stockpiling their vaccines, knowing there will be a next wave. Why did not the USA themselves do the countering? All they care about is USA first! You die your own business. In fact the USA was reluctant to offer help to India.
And India, being the stooge of the USA, have themselves to blame for being made the USA's proxy to do the countering of China's vaccine diplomacy. Now India is becoming another of the USA's collateral damage digit. Who suffers by following the USA's dictate? Not the USA! And certainly not China!
After being fixed by the Americans, all you can see is that the Indians love every bit of it.
ReplyDeleteAs long as the Americans called the Indians friend, the Indians will crawl to the Americans and do anything the Americans want them to, and say thank you America for the privilege to serve the American Empire.
The Americans can keep on lying about how effective their vaccines were, but the statistics cannot lie, even if they refused to acknowledge or publish them. The number of death and adverse cases are piling up daily.
ReplyDeleteA point will be reached, just like the AstraZenega case, when the weight would bring down the mountain of lies.
And when that point is reached, you will understand why the 'no liability' clause was necessary. They already knew they were lying to the rest of the world. That 'no liability' clause will protect them.
ReplyDeleteThe scary thing and irony is that the so-called "experts" of many countries, especially the poodle countries, have been bought by the White Liars.
ReplyDeleteWe, as netizens who widely read the news and publications from around the world from all sorts of sources, know fully well that the Western Big Pharmas are lying and some government people and politicians are in cahoot with them because it is big money to be made.
Yet many government leaders are either being conned or being stupid to have fallen for their tricks and are embarrassed to pull back.
When they keep brushing away the bad side effects and keep piling on the good news about their vaccines of 95% efficacy, it bacomes very suspicious. It becomes too good to be true!
When something becomes too good to be true, it is not true. Simple as that. Because they are hiding something that is not true. Because we all know that there can never be a vaccine that is near perfect of 95% efficacy.
The best probability for vaccine efficacy is 70% - 80%. Take note of this.
That is how the USA killed competition, even when their standard cannot match against the better ones they destroyed, like Toshiba and Alstom and now Huawei and many Chinese tech companies.
ReplyDeleteThe poodles have been forced to support the evil empire, by force or threats of sanctions. The Germans are still fighting for the Nord Stream 2 project and have been warned of sanctions if they go ahead. The Kiwis tried to break ranks and were rattled by accusations of having sold their soul to China. Such coercion always work on the poodles, who are basically hapless to do otherwise.
The same modus operandi is being used now for COVID19 vaccines. The USA and the West tried very hard to beat off the Russians and Chinese vaccines, using propaganda to debase them. If not for the serious situation in India and global shortage of vaccines, the WHO would not have approved the Chinese vaccine. (even if proven to work as well as those from the West), without incurring serious vile threats from the USA and the West. The WHO did the right thing under tremendous pressure itself, having to deal with the global surge in infections now.
Our media is professional and objective and from a Singaporean point of view.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not from an American point of view.

ReplyDeleteWASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Monday said the rocket attacks from Gaza against Israel should stop "immediately," and he urged all sides to take steps to reduce tensions.
"We're very focused on the situation in Israel, West Bank, Gaza, very deeply concerned about the rocket attacks that we're seeing now, that they need to stop, they need to stop immediately," Blinken said ahead of meeting with Jordanian Foreign Minister Ayman Safadi.
See the evil white supremacist siding with Israel. When Israel was attacking the Muslims in Iraq, in Syria, in Iran, he kept quiet. It is ok to attack Muslims but not when Muslims attack Israel.

Right?
Trump’s overzealous pro-Israel policy – endorsed by Joe Biden – emboldened Tel Aviv to push ahead with new settlements in East Jerusalem, which are the root cause of the clashes. But there’ll be no rebuke from Washington.
ReplyDeleteSo, who is really to blame for the violent clashes in the city that intensified today as Israeli police oppressed Palestinian demonstrations, following a month of growing tensions surrounding controversy over an eviction order in favour of settlers in East Jerusalem?
Police attacked the demonstrators with stun grenades, tear gas and rubber bullets, injuring hundreds. Things were anticipated only to worsen, given that today is 'Jerusalem Day' – the holiday marking when the east of the city was captured in the 1967 war, leading to its present disputed occupation – and usually sees hundreds of flag-waving Israeli youths provocatively make their way through Muslim areas, chanting and singing patriotic songs.

Not surprisingly, there have been no calls from Washington to “stand with the Palestinian people” or to “push sanctions” on their behalf against Israel to “hold them to account” for their international obligations, as we frequently hear in relation to adversarial countries, such as, of course, China. But with the United States and Israel, that’s how it has always been. US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan expressed “concerns” to his Israeli counterpart but only urged Tel Aviv to “ensure calm.” Obviously, there will be no serious or direct condemnation involved.
