/3/ @moderna_tx claims that 10/20 pledge was "updated" in 3/22 to exclude @pfizer and @BioNTech_Group, but update didn't say that, only that M wouldn't sue LDCs after @WHO pandemic. Others still benefit during #pandemic.

Today the @WhiteHouse announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by @SPARC_NA, @petersuber, @mbeisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess https://t.co/baSNzXPh4Y

Moderna is reneging on its pledge to not enforce its mRNA patents on COVID 19 vaccines during the pandemic, in the opinion of Professor Jorge Contreras. @contreraslegals

My take on the new Tillis patent bill: gene patenting again?!?

TY Andrew Torrance @lexvivo for this thoughtful review!

Sounds like @BioNTech is pledging not to assert its Covid vaccine patents in Africa. Nice!

The Open Medical Technology Manifesto now has 88 signatories; can I get 12 followers to read it, and, if they agree, push us over 100 before the big RespiraCon II conference on Saturday? Click here to read: https://t.co/Zp6vBZMegL

We wrote to @SecBecerra this morning to join the petitions to grant march-in rights on patents on the prostate cancer drug #xtandi. We are asking HHS urgently 2 hold a hearing. This drug was developed @ucla with funds from @NIH and @DeptDefence & treatment is priced over $150,000

Why are so many docs prescribing #Ivermectin to humans & why are insurers covering it? New report in @JAMA_current is disheartening. #covid @PetrieFlom #sjqlabs

According to @IAM_Alerts, the #patent pledge by @moderna_tx may have helped create an African #mRNA #vaccine, even w/o direct tech assistance. If so, that's good news!
