Pfizer and Moderna mRNA vaccines are built on publicly-funded discoveries. Moderna is even named after one of them (modified RNA), developed by publicly funded research in 2005.

We will all be safer when we are all vaccinated. But right now, fewer than 3% of people in low-income countries have been vaccinated. We must take on the greed of the pharmaceutical industry and grant a temporary patent waiver to unlock vaccine production in developing countries.

"We use the term ethical product haven in the same way that the term tax haven is used to refer to a space that is a purported haven for capital, but widely seen as creating broader social ills, including diminishing the public coffers of other countries and jurisdictions." 3/4
