“But he still finds his efforts to combat misinformation to be “meaningful,” saying pushing back on the #AntiVaccine movement is just as important as developing vaccines. Amid the #pandemic, Hotez also helped to develop a COVID19 vaccine, #Corbevax, which was licensed and approved for use in #India.”
"Peter J. Hotez and Maria Elena Bottazzi began development on the vaccine, known as CORBEVAX, in 2020 and currently are awaiting the final results of Phase Three clinical trials to determine its efficacy rate with respect to the Omicron COVID-19 variant.
In sharp contrast to the four dominant vaccines globally, CORBEVAX is protected by no patents or other intellectual property protection."
big things…”—Hotez, HERO!
Meanwhile, Moderna anticipates pricing their vaccine at $130. Highway robbery — more evidence of Big Pharma’s continued exploitation of US consumers.

Thanks for sharing that important article. It shows #BigPharma greed, in this case with respect to yet another essential life-saving treatment, #CovidVaccine
I also need to express my admiration for Drs Hotez and Bottazzi who developed #Corbevax and made it open source.

Jetzt bin ich seit kurzem geboostert, und dann kommt da ein mit #Corbevax ein freier open-source Impfstoff um die Ecke. Ich beiß mich so ins Knie, dass ich nicht noch gewartet habe 🙂
* dauert aber noch, darum ist gut, dass für mich jetzt schon gilt: #ImpfenSchuetzt - den patentfreien hol' ich mir dann bei Pieks#4.
1/ Von Anfang an war klar: die Corona-Pandemie endet erst dann, wenn ein Großteil der Welt geimpft ist.
Vielleicht sind wir diesem Ziel jetzt ein Stück näher, denn ein Team aus Texas hat den patentfreien Impfstoff #Corbevax entwickelt: theguardian.com/us-news/2022/j…

3/ #Corbevax ist wirksam, günstig & einfach in der Herstellung und Lagerung.
Ziel seiner Erfinder*innen ist nicht Profitmaximierung, sondern dass alle Länder sicheren Impfstoff in großen Mengen produzieren können - ganz ohne Patente & künstliche Hürden 👑

The first vaccine to battle global inequity
At this point in the pandemic, 9.21 billion doses have been administered globally, with 58% of the global population having received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Only 8.5% of people in low-income countries have been vaccinated.
