Vaccines

In this report by It’s Not Healthy, we analyze the main vaccines that exist globally, their origin, their financing, aspects related to intellectual property, purchase agreements and their different prices. We show how the origin of vaccines is in projects developed for decades with large contributions of public money and that this knowledge and investment, together with the one made in the pandemic, have been left in the hands of the industry without conditions and without ensuring universal access or fair prices for all countries. In addition, we reveal that production is mainly concentrated in rich countries, while factories in Asia, Latin America and Africa are being wasted, despite the production and distribution problems that the pharmaceutical industry has shown.
