Wait, didn't Fosun already had an agreement with BioNTech to produce its mRNA vaccine?
At least our favourite Indian military commentator, Pravin Sawhney is grateful:
This is the real help compared to Covax and the patent waiving. Help to build local production capability to satisfy domestic need. 授人以鱼不如授人以渔,teaching someone fishing is better than giving fish.
Cost per dose for the Covax is just $1.6 for low and middle income countries. That's why many countries have already signed up with Covax and paid the advanced payment. China should provide the initial 10 million doses. However, China should still prioritize the domestic market and exports to friendly countries.
Remember the West in its first volley charging "vaccine nationalism" that China was only going vaccinate its own people before sharing it with the world. China has been exporting its vaccine around the world more than vaccinating its own people and now the West is bragging how China is lagging behind and losing to the US in vaccinating its own people. COVID-19 has only exposed how sleazy and lowly the US and British governments have gone by their outright lies and contradictions.
Exactly. The QUAD cannot even get their shit together in containing COVID (a immediate and obvious threat that literally kills hundreds of thousands), DON'T even bother thinking about containing China. It will have zero chance of success. It's all gestures and showmanship and P.R. theatrics (as you suggested)
Loving the french singling out the anglos for their treachery:
Because yes indeed, it is indeed The Anglos who are blocking the supply of vaccines to the third world, and yes that includes India.
