Nobody is mentioning the tiny hands. Its like Trump's tiny hands.
Shit pot, meet turd kettle.
At least this one follows the advice of his PR team. 🙄 but yeah.
Elon is a Nazi
I cannot be the only one here who sees tiny hands.
They look like team america world police puppet hands
Fuck, I can't unsee it now.
Bill gates is always spending his money eradicating diseases. Maybe he can eradicate this musk disease too
How many children died because Bill Gates lobbied for the Oxford Covid-19 vaccine to be patented?
Idk how many people have died from Covid 19 vax? I keep taking it and my cock is huge, no other side effects
Given that the Gates Foundation backpedaled that stance shortly after:
0
Sorry? Exactly when did Oxford open source it's vaccine and allow manufacturing by companies other than Astrazeneca?

Your claim seems a bit BS. It was apparently to have a better distribution and quality.
AstraZeneca claimed not to get profits from the vaccine sales. This seems kind of fair knowing that doses were sold at about $4 USD (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxford%E2%80%93AstraZeneca_COVID-19_vaccine#Early_development - https://reliefweb.int/report/world/uk-donates-20-million-more-oxford-astrazeneca-vaccines-countries-need)
Unless you're talking about the side effects?

This is bullshit. The Oxford vaccine was specifically designed to be manufactured using existing processes and distribution channels.

If the whole world got effective covid vaccines at cost of production then no-one would pay Pfizer for their novel (and expensive) technology. Gates Foundation secured a return of over 15 times more than its initial investment in BioNTech.

Sadly, that's the world we live in. The investment is shady, but hey, everyone invests soo... however, changing sides every few days sucks, but at least they don't stuck with a set idea. Not sure what to think of it.
The oxford vaccine was discontinued because it had some side effects that newer and better vaccines didn't have I believe.
Research is done because there's profit to be made. A non-for-profit lab would be great though
