Yes, it is obvious that balance when it comes to patent wars is skewed too far toward corporate wealth than public health. If we had recognized this and took appropriate actions we will not be seeing increasing numbers of new incidents worldwide. The western countries have too much power and the constant threat by US to impose trade sanctions has unfortunately, worked well in their favor. We are not working towards combating the epidemic, we are arguing needlessly over something that is not worth arguing about. We have to focus on life, not profits.

- Richard, Jamaica
