Published May 20, 2021 12:21pm Profits from COVID-19 jabs have helped at least nine people become billionaires, a campaign group said Thursday, calling for an end to pharmaceutical corporations monopoly control on vaccine technology. Between them, the nine new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion (15.8 billion euros), enough to fully vaccinate all people in low-income countries 1.3 times, The People s Vaccine Alliance said in a statement. The alliance, a network of organizations and activists campaigning for an end to property rights and patents for inoculations, said its figures were based on the Forbes Rich List data. These billionaires are the human face of the huge profits many pharmaceutical corporations are making from the monopoly they hold on these vaccines, said Anna Marriott from charity Oxfam, which is part of the alliance.
