Some good news for global vaccine equity.

This article in Scientific American talks about a COVID vaccine made using proven methods and licensed to the world with no patents. It can be manufactured in existing facilities in lower income countries and distributed by established supply lines. No squabbling about patent fees or vaccine donations or pharma profits. This could get more people vaccinated in less time than the promises of vaccine donations by richer countries, with more self-reliance and dignity.
