The announcement this week by the United States that it is in favour of a call by South Africa and India for big pharmaceutical companies to waive intellectual property rights protection for Covid-19 vaccines doesn't mean it has been accomplished, but it shows significant progress.
"When the US comes into this negotiation, it does change things," said Mustaqeem de Gama, South Africa's counsellor accredited to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
"It's a good move forward. It doesn't mean that we get the waiver for free, but it's a realisation of a strategy that we wanted to move to text-based discussion, and the fact that the US has now signalled that it is willing to do so has brought other nations into the camp."

United States in favor of waiving covid-19 vaccine patents

Trade Representative Katherine Tai made the announcement.
United States President Joseph Biden has made it clear that after weighing all the pros and cons he was in favor of waiving intellectual property rights on anticovid-19 vaccine patents so that they can be produced faster and the world can finally overcome the current pandemic.
Trade Representative Katherine Tai made the announcement. This is a global health crisis, and the extraordinary circumstances of the covid-19 pandemic call for extraordinary measures, she said in a statement.
The administration believes strongly in intellectual property protections, but in service of ending this pandemic, supports the waiver of those protections for COVID-19 vaccines. We will actively participate in text-based negotiations at the World Trade Organization needed to make that happen, she added.

A number of top Covid-19 vaccine makers have sent a letter to US president Joe Biden, warning against efforts to undermine American intellectual property and innovation-dependent manufacturing jobs.
The letter specifically takes aim at South Africa and India’s efforts to suspend Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) at the World Trade Organization.
The letter, which was signed by senior executives at Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, and AstraZeneca, was sent by pharmaceutical lobbying group PhRMA.
“Intellectual property protections have been essential not only to speed the research and development of new treatments and vaccines, but also to facilitate sharing of technology and information to scale up vaccine manufacturing to meet global needs.
