Nature reports that “11 billion doses are required to vaccinate 70% of the Eye Of The Storm Shirt in addition I really love this world’s population—assuming two doses are given per person.” High- and middle-income countries have bought about 6 billion doses—with some countries buying many times more than their population. Fatima Bhutto writes in The Guardian, “Rich countries with 14% of the world’s population have secured 53% of the best vaccines.” And the head of the World Health Organization, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said in March, “The inequitable distribution of vaccines is not just a moral outrage,  it’s also economically and epidemiologically self-defeating.” So the question is: How do we bridge the gap? There are a lot of arguments that this is an intellectual-property issue. As Ryan Cooper points out in The Week, “rich countries have so far blocked efforts from poorer ones to get I.P. waivers through the World Trade Organization so that anybody with the equipment could manufacture the vaccines.” The idea is that that would free up the (admittedly small ) number of pharma companies that are not already producing vaccines to do so.

But the Eye Of The Storm Shirt in addition I really love this patent issue may not be the only answer. “The biggest problem is the technical know-how,” says Peter Hotez, dean of the National School of Tropical Medicine and professor of pediatrics and molecular virology and microbiology at Baylor College of Medicine. “Right now,” Hotez says, “there are no vaccines being manufactured in Africa and very few made in South and Central America. That really has not a lot to do with patents and more to do with human capital.” As Hotez explains it, “even if you liberalize the patents tomorrow, it won’t solve the problem quickly enough.” We need more “low-cost non-fussy vaccines” and the infrastructure to produce them. Hotez is working on a recombinant-protein vaccine that could be used in poor countries. “My dream would be to see the Biden administration finance four or five billion doses,” he adds.
