A group of Senate Democrats on Tuesday said that President Joe Biden’s administration should push for a waiver of intellectual property rules governing COVID-19 vaccines.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and nine other senators in a letter to Biden said a waiver of the rules at the World Trade Organization (WTO) “will unlock local production of vaccines in developing countries, which is necessary both to overcome absolute shortfalls in supply and to ensure people in the developing world have reliable access to vaccines.”
