Bill Gates was asked if it would be helpful to change intellectual property law in order to enable "the recipe for these vaccines to be shared." To this Gates answered, "No".
Billionaire and co-founder of Microsoft, Bill Gates in an interview on April 27 took everyone by surprise by not sharing vaccine formulas with developing nations around the world.
In an interview with Sky News, Bill Gates was asked if it would be helpful to change intellectual property law in order to enable "the recipe for these vaccines to be shared."
To this Gates answered, "No".
When asked, "Why not?"
Bill Gates explained, “There's only so many vaccine factories in the world and people are very serious about the safety of vaccines. And so moving something that had never been done, moving a vaccine, say, from a [Johnson & Johnson] factory into a factory in India, it's novel, it's only because of our grants and expertise that can happen at all.”
