Glad someone else thought so! I though I was crazy, for a second, thinking that people not dying was more important than some IP rights.

Millions more will die if all of the biotech firms leave the business because they can't fund the research.

Half the founders of Moderna just made the 'richest people in the world's list.

Innovators are going to be just fine.

Employees don't disappear when a company goes out of business. If Moderna has to shut down because they were too successful and their process becomes a global standard keeping billions safe, then its researchers will go work for other companies working on new stuff.
