Why are so many docs prescribing #Ivermectin to humans & why are insurers covering it? New report in JAMA is disheartening. #covid Petrie-Flom Center #sjqlabs jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/…

We wrote to Secretary Xavier Becerra this morning to join the petitions to grant march-in rights on patents on the prostate cancer drug #xtandi. We are asking HHS urgently 2 hold a hearing. This drug was developed @ucla with funds from NIH and An EXTREMELY epic alt account & treatment is priced over $150,000

According to IAM, the #patent pledge by Moderna may have helped create an African #mRNA #vaccine, even w/o direct tech assistance. If so, that's good news! #patentpledges Petrie-Flom Center PIJIP #sjqlabs IAM iam-media.com/coronavirus/wh…

The Open Medical Technology Manifesto now has 88 signatories; can I get 12 followers to read it, and, if they agree, push us over 100 before the big RespiraCon II conference on Saturday? Click here to read: chng.it/CrsKSrFFYb

Sounds like @BioNTech is pledging not to assert its Covid vaccine patents in Africa. Nice! #patentpledges #opencovidpledge Petrie-Flom Center #sjqlabs ctvnews.ca/health/coronav…

Today the The White House announced that all federally funded research will be made openly available. Importantly, it eliminates the 12-month embargo. This is the result of decades of work by SPARC, Peter Suber (@[email protected]), Michael Eisen, and so many more. #OpenAccess whitehouse.gov/ostp/news-upda…

/3/ Moderna claims that 10/20 pledge was "updated" in 3/22 to exclude Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE, but update didn't say that, only that M wouldn't sue LDCs after World Health Organization (WHO) pandemic. Others still benefit during #pandemic. Petrie-Flom Center Utah Law news.bloomberglaw.com/coronavirus/mo…

Moderna is reneging on its pledge to not enforce its mRNA patents on COVID 19 vaccines during the pandemic, in the opinion of Professor Jorge Contreras. Jorge Contreras

ICYMI: the RaDVaC open-source, intranasal peptide vaccine whitepaper has been updated w/ a BA.2.75-specific immunogen. This modular design now includes optional immunogens from 3 Omicron variants, in addition to many conserved B- & T-cell epitopes. radvac.org/white-papers
