So we know that lack of access to meds is already causing many deaths.
If we assume that drugs companies will respond to regulation that causes a massive reduction in their
projected profits from covid vaccines (which they 100% will do, they always have), then we can assume that will mean even more deaths in Africa.
Sad times.
Since the new year Africa has had 103 718 deaths from covid (source:
https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/geographical-distribution-2019-ncov-cases#:~:text=America: 1 217 574 deaths,and Argentina (52 077)).
It is definitely worth considering which one will be worse affected by drug companies putting up the prices of medication.
More people in Africa will die from lack of access to non covid medications this year than will die from covid. If we're just trading one source of deaths for another it means there would have be agreements with drug companies before this regulation could go through, and that would be difficult to get.
Of course, if you want to suspend all drug patents and allow Africa to manufacture copies of all drugs using their own companies I would be happy to do that, but I can't imagine any politician in the north hemisphere would allow it.
And you haven't provided me with a shred of evidence about anything at all yet, just an assertion, so stop making me chase around the internet for things that you could easily find on your if you actually wanted them. Please. Its boring.
