Meanwhile, the nine House Democrats among Congress s top 25 recipients of donations from pharmaceutical industry PACs have all declined to sign on to a letter urging the Biden administration to waive intellectual property rights for the vaccine to let developing countries produce their own supply, according to the Huffington Post. ....

“India is literally gasping for oxygen, said Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt, before announcing that the Morrison government will quickly send donations of ventilators, masks, goggles and gloves to the country.
The announcement came as India faces a devastating surge in Covid-19 cases and deaths, with hospitals overrun, oxygen in high demand, and vaccines in short supply. Closer to home, Australia recently donated 8,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines to neighboring Papua New Guinea, which is struggling with its own Covid-19 outbreak and only has 500 doctors and fewer than 4,000 nurses to carry the load. ....
