SHOW NOTES:
International Roundup
-US reverses stance on TRIPS waiver: As written, the proposal would waive obligations under the WTO’s Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement with respect to copyrights, patents, industrial designs and undisclosed data, including clinical testing data and trade secrets, for the “prevention, containment and treatment” of COVID-19 until “widespread vaccination is in place globally, and the majority of the world’s population has developed immunity.”
-But who is standing in the way? Germany: Government spokesperson said that IP is not the issue but rather manufacturing - this is a very dumb argument
