If China develops a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine, what will the US give up?
In the event that China develops an effective SARS-CoV-2 vaccine significantly before any US-led efforts succeed, what are the likeliest concessions the US will make in exchange for access?
In fact, this may be the most likely scenario. The China scientists have the advantage of the origination. Hopefully all research, not necessarily products, will be shared after the products hit the market, so that every country rich or poor will manufacture themselves. The pie is so large there will be enough money to be made by all companies involved, so they should not hesitate in sharing.
Nothing, it's in everyone's best interest to share a vaccine with the entire world. A vaccine for this is not something to profit from.
Why do you think a vaccine produced and certified outside of the U.S.A would be approved for use in the U.S.A prior to lets say the Moderna candidate that is currently already in phase 3 testing within the U.S.A?
I think a better question might be:
What will happen if the government of the U.S.A. purchase all (at least the first 100 million) doses of the effective vaccine(s).
One country vaccine will not have automatic approval for use in another country.
