what a rude thing to say, Communist Tom Selleck.

It's not theft if it should be freely shared information, the concept of "stealing" research for something the whole damn world needs is absurd.

Except you have to give credit where it's due

With something like this obviously you want to collaborate and share research, which is done through a formal process.

If the US spends almost a trillion dollars on research and then some Russian company steals it and makes a profit, is that not wrong?

It's not wrong (as long as the result is a safe and effective vaccine)

I get your ends justify the means logic

But if people can just steal your excrement, will that not deter organizations and investors from investing resources to combat the disease in the first place

Because as bad as covid is, it's not the only thing killing people right now

I agree that the research should all be shared with the rest of the planet.  I don't think the Russians should have to sink to stealing  to accomplish this though.

We don't need investors money for basic needs.

You need investors money to pay for the resources required to facilitate basic needs

The resources exist regardless of investors or their money. This is a global need. We do not need middlemen to get to it. They are welcome to assist and try to profit from it but it's in nobody else's interest but their own to protect that profit.

Basic needs?

We're talking about funding the entire biomedical industry focusing on curing treating mitigating and preventing covid

Almost certainly hundreds of billions if not trillions of dollars

Not sure how you define that as basic needs

I’m not talking about profits. I’m talking about someone paying for the production of equipment, medical personnel, testing resources etc etc....

The required capital to fund research doesn’t appear out of thin air

It literally does when the government pays for it

Russia releasing their first vaccine to the public after only doing stage 1 trials lol....RIP mother russia

What odds Trump unveils it in October as his fully tested and definitely completely safe vaccine for covid because he, and definitely not Vladimir Putin, is the man who should be in charge of the US for the next four years?

The govt doesn’t pay for all of it....especially your govt.

These companies rely on private investor capital as well
