If the whole world got effective covid vaccines at cost of production then no-one would pay Pfizer for their novel (and expensive) technology. Gates Foundation secured a return of over 15 times more than its initial investment in BioNTech.
Sadly, that’s the world we live in. The investment is shady, but hey, everyone invests soo… however, changing sides every few days sucks, but at least they don’t stuck with a set idea. Not sure what to think of it.
The oxford vaccine was discontinued because it had some side effects that newer and better vaccines didn’t have I believe.
Research is done because there’s profit to be made. A non-for-profit lab would be great though
This is bullshit. The Oxford vaccine was specifically designed to be manufactured using existing processes and distribution channels.

Source? Found nothing of the sort
People often think of vaccine development as being all about immunology, but we need to think about the manufacturing side as well. It was very important that we create a safe and effective vaccine. We had to make it in very large quantities for a low price. Not only that, we had to ensure it could be stored in the fridge to be used in a wide range of global health situations
