“In a global crisis like this, that has such a massive impact on everyone, you would expect the WHO governing body to have the backbone to say no monopolies in this pandemic. It’s one thing for a country to use its economic clout to buy preferential access to d**** or vaccines. It’s another to prevent others from manufacturing and expanding global supply.
