The Gates foundation fought for the Oxford vaccine to NOT be open-source and to instead be sold for profit. I'm sure they don't mind.

Edit:Adding the source I read this news from: https://khn.org/news/rather-than-give-away-its-covid-vaccine-oxford-makes-a-deal-with-drugmaker

Reports are that "Oxford changed course [on open sourcing the vaccine] at the urging of Bill and Melinda Gates".

You also, on record said that "We went to Oxford and said, Hey, you’re doing brilliant work,” Bill Gates told reporters on June 3, a transcript shows. “But … you really need to team up.”

Can you explain what these means, if it's not you using your influence to stop Oxford from releasing the patent for their vaccine open source? https://khn.org/news/rather-than-give-away-its-covid-vaccine-oxford-makes-a-deal-with-drugmaker/

Isn't that an incredibly large amount for one person (1/300,000,000) of the US population to own?

What bugs me about it is that it was a largely publicly funded vaccine from the UK Govnermnet. When they gave the funding, Oxford pledged to make it open source

If there was an issue with that approach, it should've been changed before funding was given, and not after Pharmacutical companies saw a chance to profit off of a pandemic.

No it's real. They urged Oxford to partner with a private company instead of releasing it open source, as Oxford had pledged
