Edward - exactly my thoughts. Channel 4 news, usual one of the more reliable, gravely intoning about the vaccine’secrets’ being ‘stolen’ . A child of 5 could see the hole in their logic. The covid crisis has shone such a light on our world, we cannot go back on those terms...will sign & share the petition for which thanks! Michael

'Why is that an issue?' I thought. 'Shouldn't they be sharing that research anyway?' Then I came across an article in the Guardian - which many of you have probably already seen - saying exactly that: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/jul/23/world-needs-coronavirus-vaccine-big-pharma-monopoly-astrazeneca-patent-pandemic I went looking to see if there was a petition I could sign, and I found one on the Oxfam website. Here's what they say: "Nearly everyone on the planet will need the COVID-19 vaccine to stay safe from the virus. Pls sign this petition to demand a commitment is made to make it free for everyone. #PeoplesVaccine https://actions.oxfam.org/international/covid-19-vaccine/petition/"; Please sign it, and encourage other people to sign it, if you've got the time!
