Labour and generics
lundi 7 octobre 2019 à 02:00Labour's pledge to authorize generic manufacture despite drug patents will save lives.
No sooner did the WTO get set up, imposing drug patents on all member countries but allowing an exception for compulsory licensing when necessary, than big countries started pressuring against use of that exception. In the late 90s, President Clinton put Al Gore in charge of that pressure.
Jamie Love pointed out to Gore that this would look bad if he ran for president, and Gore stopped.
