German firm BioNTech said Thursday that patent protection for Covid-19 vaccines is not holding back production or supply of the jabs that it developed with Pfizer.
"Patents are not the limiting factor for the production or supply of our vaccine. They would not increase the global production and supply of vaccine doses in the short and middle term," it told AFP in a statement, in a tacit rejection of a call from the United States to waive patent protections for Covid vaccines.
