Republicans: Proof that Biden’s decision-making circle is the Chinese Communist Party
Forsyth News reported that House Republican lawmakers will push legislation to block the matter; Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Calif.) said the bill, called the “Preventing Foreign Attempts to Erode Healthcare Innovation Act,” is designed to provide a more effective way to prevent foreign attempts to erode healthcare innovation. Healthcare Innovation Act), is to avoid the Biden administration, foolishly handing over U.S. smart property to countries like China.
House Republican Study Committee Chairman Jim Banks (R-Okla.) supported the legislation and said Biden has once again proven that it is the Chinese Communist Party, not the American people, who are in his decision-making circle; by giving up vaccine patents owned by American developers and laborers, Biden is ensuring that China, where the epidemic originated, will reap the benefits of American creativity.

Rumor has it that the Commerce Secretary is leading the Biden administration with murmurs
Some U.S. media reported that there are murmurs within the Biden administration about the decision, led by Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo; White House deputy spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said on June 6 that “there is no difference of opinion on this decision. .”
Jean-Pierre said that this is Biden’s political views of last year’s presidential campaign, and regarded it as an important humanitarian issue, the United States to lead the matter and help save lives.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel (Angela Merkel) opposed the U.S. proposal, saying it would seriously affect global vaccine production.
Merkel said the limiting factor for vaccine supply is not patents, but capacity and high quality standards; protecting smart property is a source of innovation and must remain so in the future.
EU Executive Committee President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU is ready to discuss proposals that could effectively and pragmatically solve the current crisis.
Van der Leyen said, “Vaccine producing countries should prioritize the removal of export barriers and address supply chain disruptions.” The EU is the only democratic region in the world that exports vaccines on a large scale, while the U.S., a major vaccine country, is reserving most vaccines for domestic use.
Switzerland points to leaving problems behind France, Russia support
The Swiss government, which provides vaccine materials, said the U.S. decision is significant but leaves many unanswered questions; Switzerland believes that giving up vaccine patents does not guarantee that more equitable, affordable and inexpensive vaccines and access to new crown drugs will be produced, and it will carefully assess the domestic impact of the matter.
French President Macron and Russian President Vladimir Putin support the issue.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken, in an interview with MSNBC, called for accelerating the progress of global vaccination, “If the world does not move, it will not be finished by 2024.”
Blinken said the abandonment of patents is one of the possible ways to increase production and access to vaccines, and that the U.S. decision is to pave the way for the World Trade Organization (WTO), which he said could take months to finalize a specific plan.
