The two Texas doctors that have created the world’s first open-source, patent-free COVID-19 vaccine are struggling to find funding for the production and distribution of the potentially pandemic-ending vaccine. Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi created this vaccine with no profit motive and better yet, this open-source Corbevax vaccine is far less expensive than Pfizer and Moderna’s renditions. Ana Kasparian discusses on The Young Turks.

But two scientists in Texas who have successfully developed such a vaccine say their effort still hasn’t received any funding from the world’s richest countries, including the United States. Dr. Peter Hotez and Dr. Maria Elena Bottazzi are professors at the Baylor College of Medicine and co-directors of the Texas Children’s Center for Vaccine Development, where they are renewing their pleas for the US federal government and other G7 countries to financially support the mass production of Corbevax, the world’s first open-source, patent-free COVID-19 vaccine being distributed on a mass scale." *** The largest online progressive news show in the world.
