Global License Deal Will ‘Turn the Tide’ on Pandemic, WHO Says

The World Health Organization (WHO) on Tuesday said it has finalized a global license deal to ramp up production of a serological technology that detects COVID-19 antibodies, something the agency says will “turn the tide” on the pandemic.

The license will be provided royalty-free to poor and middle-income countries, the WHO announced in a news release, adding that it will remain valid until the date the last patent expires.

The non-exclusive licensing agreement reached with the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), a public research institute offering the technology as a global public good, is the first test license signed by the WHO’s Medicines Patent Pool (MPP).

“The aim of the license is to facilitate the rapid manufacture and commercialization of CSIC’s COVID-19 serological test worldwide,” the WHO said.

The technology checks for the presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies developed either in response to a COVID-19 infection or to a vaccine.

Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus urged developers of COVID-19 vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics to “follow this example and turn the tide on the pandemic and on the devastating global inequity this pandemic has spotlighted.”

“This is the kind of open and transparent license we need to move the needle on access during and after the pandemic,” Tedros said.

Doctors Without Borders, an international organization that provides medical aid to communities in need, welcomed the deal, noting that currently WHO only had one antibody test using quantitative immunoassays (ELISA) made by Roche Holding AG which can only be used with the Swiss-based drugmaker’s own device.

“In order to overcome the monopoly of large diagnostics companies such as Roche, and to facilitate production and supply of reliable ELISA antibody tests in all countries, the open license from CSIC to WHO C-TAP (COVID-19 Technology Access Pool) is an important step forward,” Doctors Without Borders said.

“However, one license from one technology owner is not enough to open up the full platform so that developers in countries can improve their tests for COVID-19 antibodies,” the organization said

“Removing intellectual property barriers on all key technology components, and facilitating open sharing, pooling and transferring of technologies, data, and know-how, are important to guarantee and improve access to COVID-19 diagnostics for all.”

Diana Morant, Spanish Minister of Science and Innovation, said in a statement that the agreement will “protect lives.”

“Science has the universal purpose of improving people’s lives. Therefore this is also a firm commitment of our government: supporting a public system of science to serve all citizens,” she said.

The WHO noted that the tests are easy to use and suitable for all settings with a basic laboratory infrastructure, such as those found in rural areas in low- and middle-income countries.

AZ State Senator Sonny Borrelli on AZ Audit Investigation: “Maybe Mr. Fontes Will Get Perp-Walked, Who Knows?”

The Arizona 2020 election audit revealed elections law was violated in multiple ways, hundreds of thousands of ballot discrepancies, and a concerning lack of transparency on elections protocols.

The 2020 election was stolen in Arizona and everybody knows it.

All evidence of voter fraud has been delivered to Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich and he has opened a formal criminal investigation.

The Gateway Pundit reported that investigators from Attorney General Brnovich’s office recently questioned former Maricopa County Recorder, Adrian Fontes.

Brnovich received this evidence of voter fraud and elections law violations two months ago, today, and we still have seen no results.

The people of Arizona are sick and tired of waiting for the truth.

TGP correspondent Jordan Conradson spoke to Arizona State Senator Sonny Borrelli yesterday for more on the Arizona audit.

Conradson: Former Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes was recently interrogated by one of the investigators with the AG’s office. The Fake News, MSNBC obtained a copy of this recording. How do you think that happened?

Borrelli: Oh, obviously, that recording was not released by an investigator because they don’t do that. So obviously, Mr. Fontes, who is an attorney, made sure that he recorded it himself. You know, I’m sure he’s going to do that, as any smart attorney would make sure that he’s got a copy of an interrogation or questioning if you will. So obviously, to me, it seems like Mr. Fontes wanted to release that to fake news media and what I call the shame stream media. And so that way, they can actually create their own spin and narrative before the investigation is completed. And the whole thing was pretty laughable. But I’m hearing some people that you would consider on our side think that the investigator is incompetent by the line of questioning he did. That was you know, interrogation 101. Obviously, Mr. Fontes or somebody in his camp. released that because I don’t believe the Attorney General’s investigators will be releasing anything to the press prior to the conclusion of a criminal investigation. Law enforcement doesn’t do that.

Conradson: So did the leaked tapes reveal that officials in Arizona knew the audit was “a sham”, as MSNBC reports?

Borrelli: I don’t think so. When you lead into an investigation like that and you’re questioning somebody, you want to gain the confidence of the person you’re questioning. And you want to act a little nonchalant, like “Hey, bro, I got thrust into this. Hey, you know, I think this is BS, what do you think about it?” It’s to try to elicit a response. Trained investigators do not ask questions if they don’t already know the answer to the question they’re asking. So this way, you know how to catch the person that you’re interrogating in a lie. Law enforcement, they’re professionals at this. Mr. Fontes is smart. He’s an attorney. He knows how the game is played and naturally, he’s going to play his game too, and obviously, that’s exactly what he did. So, and that’s part of the Democrats’ MO anyway, the D, deny, distort, distract. They’re never going to give up the con.

President Trump released a statement yesterday asking when we will see something come out of this investigation.
