'Billionaire CEO shouldn't get to choose who lives and who dies,' said one advocacy group after Moderna's patent announcement.

According to Kosgei of the People's Vaccine Alliance,"If Moderna really cared about vaccine access for low and middle-income countries, they would share their vaccine blueprints with the WHO's Covid-19 technology access pool, cooperate with the WHO mRNA hub in South Africa, and revoke the patents they have filed in that country."
Part of the issue, according to Dearden, is that"Moderna's vaccine is the U.S. govt. vaccine. They paid for it." Dearden also took issue with Moderna's limits on the patent pledge, noting for example that it excludes South Africa,"which is the country *actually researching* an mRNA vaccine so it can share it with the world."
