The TWO greatest mysteries of this Pandemic: - Not ONE vaccine formula of over half a dozen has been open-sourced (meaning that anyone could produce or improve the vaccine) or 'opened to public and scientific scrutiny' - Private FOR-PROFIT companies have been allowed to treat a Global Health Crisis as 'A BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY' 8 Billion lives at threat, a World Economy at NEAR-STANDSTILL, and vaccine makers get to treat the vaccines as BUSINESS SECRETS. You'd think that the G8 leaders would get together, DO A BUY-OUT of the most promising vaccines - costing a FEW BILLION EUROS AT MOST - and then ANY vaccine maker could examine the formula, produce it, improve it, make it safer and so forth. Nope. What goes in the arm is a BUSINESS SECRET. WHY?
