The division of doctrinal and normative justifications is especially illuminating. Personally I think the optics of opposing any kind of waiver is determinative, irrespective of whether the waiver is capable of achieving it's aims. In fact opposing a waiver may ultimately lead to the watering down of TRIPs. Though I do worry about the chilling effect on [23:28] schestowitz incentive for creating vaccines in future pandemics. Emeritus Professor Michael D Pendleton" [23:29] schestowitz "The article analyses the very 'technical issues' around a waiver and what it could achieve. But no context is given for what is happening. The WTO is all about creating a system for disputes to be sorted out, but the question which is not asked is why the developing world does not 'dare' to make use of provisions in the Doha declaration for limiting patent rights for public health reasons? The fact is that there are consequences for [23:29] schestowitz less powerful nations if they take advantage of existing 'legal' agreed provisions to limit patent rights. The US is now discussing a waiver, and it is clear that the US is essentially the 'decider' of whether a waiver is needed, though the impact is most severe in the developing world. "
