"Vaccine companies should be compensated for their development and innovation, but their profit margins should not determine global distribution. In the long term, the creation and support of an infrastructure such as the global network proposed by COVAX is of extreme importance. This will not be our last pandemic. Thinking ahead, we need to move from the current system, which prioritizes the highest bidder, to one that tends to the realities and necessities of global public health.
