Vaccine waiver talks can make drug firms the heroes, U.S. trade chief says By Reuters

Posted by admin

in News

By David Lawder WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai said on Wednesday she is pushing for a waiver of COVID-19 vaccine intellectual property rights because the United States and drug makers have "an obligation to help save the world right now." Tai, speaking at a U.S. Senate Finance Committee hearing, said she views the World Trade Organization talks as a way to remove the intellectual property issue as an obstacle to vaccine production. She backed the WTO negotiations last week. She praised the work of U.S. companies in quickly developing and producing safe and...

Vaccine IP Waivers: Stealing from the Rich to Give to the Poor? By Investing.com

Posted by admin

in News

By Geoffrey Smith Investing.com -- U.S. President Joe Biden’s belated conversion to the idea of waiving intellectual property rights on Covid-19 vaccines is more a question of style than substance, and the world should probably be grateful that it isn’t more.

It’s a nice gesture. It makes the U.S. look more like its self-image of a noble and altruistic...

By Oliver Griffin and Luis Jaime Acosta BOGOTA/CALI (Reuters) - Union members, students, pensioners and workers took to the streets of Colombia to march in anti-government protests on Wednesday, as demonstrations entered their third week amid so-far fruitless talks. The demonstrations, which have sometimes turned violent, were initially fueled in late April by outrage at a now-canceled tax plan.

States Recover $2 Billion as Secret Service Probes Covid Fraud By Bloomberg

Posted by admin

in News

(Bloomberg) -- States recovered about $2 billion of pandemic-related funds that were previously fraudulently acquired by criminals over the past year, according to the Secret Service. The big jump in unemployment insurance benefits made the relief program “a target for those seeking to defraud government programs,” said Acting Inspector General of the Labor Department Larry Turner. Small businesses at the start of the pandemic quickly became targets for fraud because of the lax application requirements and security checks. House Democrats identified nearly $84 billion in potential fraud, and said in March that the U.S had...

Posted by admin

in News

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Greek banks have had to restructure fewer loans than expected since the end of government moratoriums but it's too early to call the end of the coronavirus crisis, the European Central Bank's top supervisor Andrea Enria said on Wednesday. "So far, the payment behaviour following the expiry of the moratoria has been positive, so payments have resumed regularly and there has been a lower-than-expected number of restructurings necessary," Enria said at an online Greek economic forum. "However, it's too early to declare victory, so we're not yet at the end...
