A sign marks the headquarters of the coronavirus disease vaccine maker Moderna in Cambridge, Massachusetts, U.S., April 28, 2022. REUTERS/Brian Snyderhas refused to hand over to China the core intellectual property behind the development of its COVID-19 vaccine, leading to a collapse in negotiations on its sale there, the Financial Times reported on Saturday, citing people familiar with the matter.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical company turned down China’s request to hand over the recipe for its mRNA vaccine because of commercial and safety concerns, the newspaper said, citing people involved in negotiations that took place between 2020 and 2021, adding that the vaccine maker is still “eager” to sell the product to China.
The company had “given up” on its previous efforts to access the Chinese market because of China’s demand that it hand over the technology as a prerequisite for selling in the country, the report said.Moderna did not immediately respond to Reuters' request for comment. China has not approved any foreign COVID-19 vaccines and relies on several domestically developed shots.the company was keen to collaborate with China on supplying its mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines to the country.
"We would certainly be very eager to collaborate with China if they felt that there was a need for a vaccine there," Burton had told a media briefing for reporters in Asia. "Currently, there is no activity going on, but we'd be very open to it."Reporting by Rhea Binoy in Bengaluru; editing by Jonathan Oatis
Moderna is clever to refuse the request from Communist China. Because they use market to lure you into a trap to steal your higher technology in medicine.
Moderna, U r Right! To advise NONEtoShareNRevealurPdtSecretsNtechnology to CCPCHN as it'll COPYurPdtsNdumpingAtLOWPRICES to EXPELLurPdtsOutofMkts as it's doing now? CCP claims it hs invented a mRNA AntiCOVID vaccine, NOT yet launched in mkt for sale? IT's stolen who's Tech!?
Moderna created Covid-19, no surprise.
So they couldn’t hack Moderna then.
just another evidence to show America wants money and don't care Chinese health. We knew American hypocritical morality for decades
On May 7, the World Health Organization officially listed the inactivated COVID-19 vaccine developed by Beijing Bio-Institute of Biological Products Co- 1.91B (+0M) DOSES SOLD 284M (+10M) DOSES DONATED 1.63B (+10M) DOSES DELIVERED
Wise decision !
Could this be why anti vaxxer’s don’t want to get vaccinated? cc: JoeMyGod fakedansavage
Doubt the request has anything to do with getting their people vaccinated. China just had their own mRNA vaccine Walvax approved in Indonesia. They also have all the means to approve and purchase Pfizer or Moderna this whole time but never proceed with it.
Thos who know...know. No amount of evil can cover the facts. (Salmon Chopping-board) and an armed Wuhan Lab incursion in 2018.
🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Safer for humanity then.
That doesn’t really surprise anyone, however, I’m sure China must have played some part in producing the vaccine . Can’t a compromise be reached if China makes a financial contribution, lives matter across the world.
I thought America wanted to save the world. Why are the hiding it?
Bully
China's Xi lied to the people and got away with it.
Good job! Buy it or leave it...
Forget the current wave of anti-Chinese sentiment. But the world as it exists with all its barriers because of intellectual property protection creates gated communities of prosperity and progress and that kinda blows.
They dont work any way
Proper
Why don't they just buy it like everyone else
Why would they want the technology for a useless vaccine?
Moderna doesn't realize we live in the global economy? Thx for being selfish.
They created virus 🦠🦟 . Now is asking for vaccine technology
as only China remain with high infection rate in global. they realized their copied Vaccines are less efficiency cant finish covid
Don’t want to reveal the now well known secret that their vaccine stats are full of lies and nations wasted billions on them yet failed to save hundreds of thousands of preventable death if they bother to isolate/quarantine properly instead?
China wants to copy everything 🤣
Greedy pharmaceutical companies will always put $$$ ahead of people lives.
Let China reveal its covid technology first.
Good. They can stop stealing trade secrets; and they can start playing like a team mate; then they can get team mate like things to happen to them. Good on you Moderna.
Good
Happy they stood up against the Chinese unreasonable Demand.
Economic sunctions for big countries make the situation worse for all than before sunctions !!!.
Fuck Moderna.
Any questions? EducationForAll
😂
still haven’t got any “vaccine”; alky and hygiene works fine
A proposal to investigate the 'Plandemic'. There is an opinion that SARSCoV2 has a fragment of moderna's 'patented technology'. In the applicable 'patent', identify: -Users -When to Use -Total Fees -Development Teams
Good move, Moderna. China is an IP thieve!!!
China is correct
Moderna makes right decision because they do not want new series of the COVID-19. 😃👍
That's the reason why China did not use western mRNA vaccines, they don't know what's in them so will not risk it on their people & not enough trial data. China used traditional inactivated vaccines, safest method.
Strange to see China unable to copy-paste :)
May be, Chinese wanted to know & rectify deficiencies in the original virus so that a modified & more lethal version of the virus can be produced for future carnage😡
Then, we will steal it…
ذكرت صحيفة فاينانشيال تايمز يوم السبت نقلا عن أشخاص مطلعين على الأمر أن شركة موديرنا Moderna رفضت تسليم تفاصيل براءة الاختراع الي الصين الخاصة بتطوير لقاح فيروس_كورونا_المستجد، مما أدى إلى انهيار المفاوضات بشأن بيعه هناك.
because if doesn't work and it's all hoax?
Moderna is setting up labs in Taiwan not China
Medicine vs Intellectual property theft? Reveal technology vs Reverse engineering?
You sure? They were fine with their own vaccines
Good good. More companies around the world should do that.
It irresponsible! If China can't contain the spread of the virus, it won't be a Chinese problem only
They already did and made few mRNA vaccine , one is testing soon in Indonesia .. must have something missing and want the real deal to show em the secrets
They don’t want to reveal the cause of Covid…so seems fair to me!
If they were going to give up any vaccine recipes wouldn’t we want it to be from moderna?
If you reveal, he will invent new virus and spread it
Nothing new - (forced) technology transfer has been part of doing business in China for decades. If that doesn’t work, state sponsored economic espionage will be used. It’s the scope & illegality of state involvement that makes China unique in the business world.
Wow China
Lol
Definitely not. It’s the Army not the government that rules China
mRNA vaccine technology is dual use and should be subject to export controls.
Xi Jinping refused to reveal his wonton soup recipe
Hope they're ready to be hacked.
And who can blame them?
