So my reading of that is both parties had their competing versions of the vaccine made before the disease even emerged , its a bit like the computer antivirus industry , who have the fix long before the virus circulates , perfectly positioned to take advantage after the fact .
You never know , in the midst of the squabbling over the spoils , more key pieces of the puzzle could emerge , follow the trail of greed .
Looks like this issue has landed up in court in several jurisdictions , but for some reason in the EU those cases are on hold , hopefully the FOI advocates are keeping a close eye on these proceedings and trying to make available what pharma will undoubtedly attempt to obfuscate from public view .
