Could you please indicate where you heard that Merck has any ownership of the patents to the Oxford vaccine? The cited article indicates that it’s is AstraZeneca who have done a deal with Oxford and that the deal with Merch, while an early option, fell though.

Is would seem “US BigParma” are not involved, as AstraZeneca is a British/Swedish company.

Merck's stock is down while Astrazenca's is up, thats enough indication that merck doesnt hold anything.

AstraZeneca is BigPharm! May not be as Merck or Pfizer, but they are on the big ones.

Yes, but it’s bizarre to complain about the deal while not knowing enough about it to even accurately remember which company was a signatory to it.

yeah it is just how the world we live in now days works. Most people don't know who owns what!

For example, Russians owns a bunch of funds in US mutual funds, and us big oil owns a lot stakes in Russian oils. So the whole idea that we are still living in the idea of nation state is over! Private company (like Federal reserve) has their own military.

We are pretty much back to West/East India Company ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_India_Company ) in the process of becoming a multi-planetary civilisation.

Most things are hidden behind attorney-client privilege and ran by a hand full of law-firms for the elite rich people. Someone who have managed billions dollars for the public and private sector has once said no body really know who owns the debt of the planet.

Personally I support more transparency let everything come out and let the people judge. There is the risk of anger of mop and chopping off some heads like the French did. Truth will set you free, at first if fucking piss you off. Hope everyone will exercise some constrains and respect the due process even for those who have done so much bad things.
