Vaccine patents, vaccine manufacturing monopolies, are part of a neoliberal system of trickle-down.

Patents were supposed to trickle down both material benefits (products incentivized by the patent system) and knowledge (made available by the patent applications since the patent system requires it). Both of these trickle-downs have slowed to vary little. For example, the vaccine patents do not give enough information for other companies to make the vaccines commercially.

Let's eliminate the patent system. We have little to lose.
