I don’t really see how that can be true. It’s not an absolute ban it’s simply moving as emerging data improves. If we are truly interested in the “entire planet” we should remove the IP rights on all vaccines and get production ramped up. Otherwise a time delay on subset of the population in France is likely to have negligible impact on the global response or inevitable emergence of vaccine resistant mutations.
However some good news that should
finally end the uncertainty is the outcome of the Phase 3 US clinical trials showing 79% efficacy. While not one to necessarily trust the BBC quick fire analysis the published data should let more independent sources crunch the numbers.
