<The European Union cemented its support for Pfizer-BioNTech and its novel COVID-19 vaccine technology Saturday by agreeing to a massive contract extension for a potential 1.8 billion doses through 2023.>
It is 1.8 billion doses just from Pfizer-BioNTech not counting the flood of COVID-19 vaccines from others (AZN, JNJ, NVAX, etc.,)
The question? What for does EU (with ~450M people) procure many Billions of COVID-19 vaccines?
PS
Will China benefit from Biden's IP waiver? No doubts, they will. They are not very creative but are very smart. In the last 20 years, China has made a gigantic intellectual advancement.
