墨菲及其同事于2021年2月19日发表在《英国医学杂志·全球健康》上的一篇评论文章1,将人们的注意力引向了为发现新冠肺炎疫苗所做的前所未有的努力,并询问世界是否可以从这个例子中学习,以更好地促进低收入和中等收入国家(LMIC)获得药物。我对他们的评论的回应是,尽管意图是好的,也是切中要害的,但评论文章忽略了研发中的一个关键瓶颈,即阻碍全球疫苗获取的知识产权。知识产权不是公开提供疫苗知识,而是保护行业利益,而不是人类健康和福祉。目前的安排在流行病上是短视和不公正的。疫苗资本主义的冲击最大的是LMIC,尤其是非洲。2.
A commentary by Murphy and colleagues, 1 published in BMJ Global Health on the 19 February 2021, brings attention to the unprecedented efforts for COVID-19 vaccine discovery and asks if the world could learn from this example to better facilitate access to medicines in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs).My response to their comment claims that though well intended and to the point, the commentary misses a crucial bottleneck in research and development, namely, intellectual property rights (IPRs) that hinder the actualisation of global vaccine access. Instead of making vaccine knowledge available openly, IPRs protect industry benefits over human health and well-being. The current arrangement is epidemiologically short-sighted and unjust. The brunt of vaccine capitalism is felt most in LMICs and Africa in particular. 2
