Asked to explain why not, Gates whose massive fortune as founder of Microsoft relies largely on intellectual property laws that turned his software innovations into tens of billions of dollars in personal wealth said: "Well, 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 that can happen at all." ... so if you let others produce vaccines, they suddenly become unsafe and unregulated? sounds like a lot of bullshit, but no surprise here --- My Social Server, Eevee's Mystery Dungeon: https://discord.gg/emd My PMD Rescue Server: https://discord.gg/E57gMQq ...

He didn't say we shouldn't share the formula with the poor. He said that doing so wouldn't help. And his reasoning is pretty sound. Quote below from the article for people who are tempted to reply without actually reading it:
Directly asked during an interview with Sky News if he thought it "would be helpful" to have vaccine recipes be shared, Gates quickly answered: "No." --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

That article doesn't seem to offer any information that counters his statements about the safety issues. Are you able to do that, TC?

he's not wrong? this isn't a line of code that he's talking about, its not even a gene sequence. its the process of either producing and encapsulating mRNA in a way that allows cells to uptake it, or genetically modifying an adenovirus to use as a vector to achieve the same goal. you're not going to be able to retool a production line that originally made pills to do that.
then the article starts acting like gates is the final decider on any of this? it really reads like a wacky qanon spinoff... --- Taarsidath-an halsaam. Quando il gioco e finito, il re e il pedone vanno nella stessa scatola ... Copied to Clipboard!

Yeah, it could be dangerous... but it should be up to the countries involved to decide if it's worth the risk, not billionaires.
