Tan Desai suggested that the intellectual property rights of COVID-19 vaccine can be temporarily abandoned. Is this suggestion realistic?

There used to be a joke. I interviewed a farmer and asked him if you had 100 million dollars, would you donate it? The farmer promised to donate. Ask him again if you have a cow. Will you donate? The reporter was very surprised when the farmers refused to donate money. Q: You can donate 100 million yuan. Why don't you donate when the cow dies? The farmer replied, I really have a cow.

Tan Desai suggested giving up the intellectual property rights of COVID-19 vaccine if necessary. This suggestion is feasible. Now, although our epidemic situation has been controlled, COVID-19 vaccine has been widely popularized. However, the COVID-19 epidemic has not been controlled abroad.

If not before the epidemic and bacterial mutation. Without good control, the intellectual property rights of vaccines have not been spread accordingly! Then give up the intellectual property rights of vaccines! Otherwise, the related virus may be a great event in the world!

WHO holds a regular press conference in COVID-19. WHO Director-General Tan Desai said that if COVID-19 can't distribute vaccines fairly, COVID-19 can't be defeated and the world can't recover quickly. Sharing vaccines is the best way to bring life and livelihood back to normal, so countries should cooperate. If we increase vaccine production, we can effectively deal with the problem of vaccine sharing, but there are still trade barriers and other obstacles to increase production. ?

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized the lack of cooperation and serious resistance when COVID-19 temporarily gave up the intellectual property rights of vaccines. The COVID-19 epidemic is unprecedented, and COVID-19 has taken the whole world hostage. Such an event may only happen once every 100 years. In the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights of WTO, there are clauses to give up intellectual property rights. But some people don't even want to discuss it. If this rule is not used now, when will it be used? ?

However, many netizens said:

Come on, why should foreign countries ban us? If our vaccine is ahead, we will give up our intellectual property rights. There is no way! Want, take money, reasonable! ?

There has never been real fairness. Give up the advantages gained through hard work, contribute to the hostile people, and learn what Song Xianggong called justice? In the end, I still suffer. ?

It is suggested that the patent rights of all drugs and chips be temporarily abandoned around the world.

If we give up, no company will want to invest in vaccine research. Even if there is a new vaccine, it may all be under control. ?
