unless, as patrick said, africa begins to manufacture vaccines and reverse that situation, which says that we import 99% of our vaccines and make only 1% of our vaccines, we'll continue to be extremely vulnerable, as we have seen in this scenario here. so that scenario doesn't work for our health security. we have to reverse that and begin to produce vaccines on the continent. our strategy, and our goal and aspiration, is that by 20110, the continent should be able to produce at least 60% of its vaccines. that is what is going to put us on course to begin to be independent from outside resources to protect our health security. all right. so where do you stand on the demands for waivers on intellectual property? because there are those who say, look, for drugs as important as vaccines for covid, we need to have waivers. the united states
