Pfizer COVID Pill to Be Made, Sold Cheaply in 95 Poor Countries

Nov. 16, 2021, at 11:15 a.m.


By Robert Preidt and Robin Foster, HealthDay Reporter


(HEALTHDAY)

TUESDAY, Nov. 16, 2021 (HealthDay News) -- Pfizer Inc. announced Tuesday that it has reached an agreement for its promising COVID-19 antiviral pill to be made and sold cheaply in 95 developing nations.

The countries included in the licensing deal are mostly in Africa and Asia, and they account for more than half of the world's population, the company said in a statement. Pfizer is partnering on the agreement with Medicines Patent Pool (MPP), a United Nations-backed public health organization working to increase access to lifesaving drugs for low- and middle-income countries.

Under the terms of the deal, Pfizer will grant a royalty-free license for the pill to MPP and manufacturers can then take out a sublicense. They will receive Pfizer's formula for the drug, and be able to sell it for use in 95 developing countries after regulators authorize the drug in those places.

"Pfizer remains committed to bringing forth scientific breakthroughs to help end this pandemic for all people. We believe oral antiviral treatments can play a vital role in reducing the severity of COVID-19 infections, decreasing the strain on our health care systems and saving lives," Pfizer chairman and CEO Albert Bourla said in the statement. "We must work to ensure that all people – regardless of where they live or their circumstances – have access to these breakthroughs."

Last month, Merck reached a similar deal for its COVID-19 antiviral pill to be made and sold inexpensively in 105 poorer countries.

"The fact that we now have two manufacturer-anywhere licenses for these two drugs is a big change, and it draws a big contrast with the restrictive licensing so far for vaccines," James Love, head of Knowledge Ecology International, a nonprofit that researches access to medical products, told The New York Times.

"This license is so important because, if authorized or approved, this oral drug is particularly well-suited for low- and middle-income countries and could play a critical role in saving lives, contributing to global efforts to fight the current pandemic," MPP executive director Charles Gore said in the Pfizer statement.

However, both the Pfizer and Merck agreements exclude a number of low- and middle-income nations that have been hit hard by the pandemic, including Brazil, China, Cuba, Iraq, Jamaica, Libya and Russia.

ICU is full of the unvaccinated – my patience with them is wearing thin
Anonymous

Most of the resources the NHS is devoting to Covid in hospital are being spent on people who have not had their jab

In hospital, Covid-19 has largely become a disease of the unvaccinated. The man in his 20s who had always watched what he ate, worked out in the gym, was too healthy to ever catch Covid badly. The 48-year-old who never got round to making the appointment.

‘Why no draft law on mandatory vaccination?’
Senior Counsel Martin Daly says he finds it shocking that the Government is yet to put forward draft legislation on mandatory vaccinations.

He argued that once a mandatory vaccination policy includes certain safeguards and exceptions, it will not infringe on an individual’s constitutional rights.

One such exception is if an individual’s medical condition prevents them from being vaccinated, he said.

“Any legislation, to be constitutional, would have to provide for that,” he said yesterday.

“As far as I am concerned, there is no legal impediment to a mandatory vaccination policy, providing that it includes certain safeguards and exceptions,” he said.

Daly said he was “astounded” that in the Prime Minister’s recent address to the nation, nothing was said about legislation on mandatory vaccinations “as at least an option”.

He was speaking during a webinar hosted by the Trinidad and Tobago Chamber of Industry and Commerce titled “Covid-19 and the Workplace: The Vaccination Dilemma”.

“It is wrong to believe that there is a general prohibition in constitutional law against a mandatory vaccination policy. Worldwide, courts have been giving governments what is called margin of appreciation, in local parlance a bligh, a carefully considered bligh, to legislation mandating vaccinations as a layer of protection,” Daly said.

“An additional layer of protection can be insisted upon, subject to safeguards and exceptions and subject to what the particular legislative body believes are the appropriate things that you will be refused if you don’t vaccinate. That is where the discussion has to take place. And once legislation is carefully framed like that, worldwide, the courts have been holding that legislation of that kind does not violate individual constitutional rights,” he pointed out.

Ducking the issues

Daly added: “The Government knows perfectly well that there is a route by which legislation can be passed that mandates vaccinations in defined circumstances, and with defined sanctions if you choose not to have a vaccination. They know that perfectly well and I think it is quite shocking that draft legislation has not been put before the public, and before putting into the public, put before the Opposition and put before the tripartite groups.”

He lamented the failure of national leadership on the issue.

“The problem for me, of course, is that I don’t believe the failure is the Government alone. I believe that all the groups in the society, including this distinguished Chamber that has invited me here, simply duck these issues until they become a crisis,” Daly said.

He opined it was too late to be having conversations on mandatory vaccinations.

“We need another layer of protection by having properly drafted legislation to at least reduce the incidence of deaths and hospitalisations,” he stressed.

Daly noted that based on trends worldwide, a constitutional case against mandatory vaccinations may not go very well for an applicant, provided that the legislation respects certain things like properly verified religious beliefs and properly verified individual conditions.

“The constitutional law argument and individual rights arguments will be lost,” he said.

lol. those old people following the science. The UK considers them due for a third shot at 3 months from second dose. And there is very, very good data from Public Health England for taking Pfizer boosters after initial AZ shots.

If I'm reading this correctly, the MOH can self-determine if children 5-11 can now be vaccinated?
(Based on the fact that adult vaccination has stagnated).

Didn't know that
They would have to procure those then, if they make the decision.

Pfizer CEO says fourth Covid vaccine doses may be needed sooner than expected due to omicron
Published Wed, Dec 8 202112:06 PM EST

Key Points

-“When we see real-world data, will determine if the omicron is well covered by the third dose and for how long,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told CNBC.

-“And the second point, I think we will need a fourth dose,” Bourla said.

-The Pfizer CEO originally expected a fourth dose 12 months after the third, but he told CNBC it might be needed faster than that.


https://www.cnbc.com/2021/12/08/omicron ... ected.html

Four doses for everybody!
