The media noise now focuses on vaccines, their effectiveness and the population's attitude towards them, but there are other important issues about vaccines that go more unnoticed. Let's go first with vaccines and their effectiveness . There is a great controversy about them that has more to do with the marketing and propaganda strategies of pharmaceutical companies than with scientific knowledge about them. Until now, only information provided by the companies is known, without it having been analyzed by independent evaluators, and their tendency to magnify the positive results and ignore or hide the problems and limitations of their medicines is well known, and there are many well-known cases. known, the most related to the topic, the effectiveness of osetalmivir in influenza.
Diased data that produced massive purchases in many countries, of a drug that independent evaluators (BMJ, Cochrane) demonstrated that it lacked the effectiveness that the company boasted that marketed it and that it had many more side effects than initially reported. That is why we must be prudent, and assume that it is likely AOL Email List that things are not so wonderful, as well as that the news we have about vaccines overvalues their results, and only seeks to attract investments and million-dollar purchases, although of course it could happen that everything be true and we will have excellent vaccines soon. The second issue has to do with the availability of vaccines and their accessibility, and there we are faced with the existence of patents that make it difficult for the population to access them, in poor countries and in rich countries that have a liberal/private health system model like the US. Patents allow companies to set high prices, some of them hundreds of euros have already been indicated, and will mean leaving a large.
Part of the population in poor countries without vaccines in order to guarantee the right to pharmaceutical companies' patents (obtained thanks to research in which at least 50% is public money) and allow them to earn huge amounts of money from the sale of vaccines. There have been initiatives from some governments (South Africa and India) to lift the patents in this case and there are social initiatives in the EU in the same sense led by more than a hundred organizations, although recently our country has voted against this patent exemption for the duration of covid19 at a meeting of the World Trade Organization. Which is in contradiction to the Government's statements at the G20 meetings about the need for universal vaccine coverage. This decision is.
