Yeah, you've got the essential bit right. It's not merely that they don't have patent access, they also don't know how to do it year, some of this (most of this?) is protected by trade secret. How long do you think that will last? I think China will have it in 2-4 years probably

So countries should be sharing trade secrets? That would be great to advance biomedical research but the approval process for therapeutics in the US will remain the same. Aka as long as private companies are forced to innovate, cost will remain a top priority. End rant!

yes, countries should be sharing trade secrets! i realise that's supposed to be a radical position but it shouldn't be. the accelerated timeline for the vaccine development in particular is one of the most concrete proofs we have that maybe we are overregulating drug development
