Why Are Governments Allergic to Public Solutions to the Pandemic?
In this episode Dr. Shane Miersch, an antibody engineer in the
Sidhu Laboratory at the University of Toronto, discusses the status of
the lab's research for a publicly developed COVID-19 treatment. He also
informs about the problem of governments refusing to develop public
solutions to the pandemic which will prepare Canada for future
outbreaks. Dr. Miersch specifically describes the experience he and his
colleagues have had trying to get the federal government to recognize
the value they are creating instead of handing out large amounts of
public funds to private pharmaceutical monopolies that want to profit
from the pandemic. Listen to the podcast here.
