France said equal access to any coronavirus vaccine developed by pharmaceuticals giant Sanofi was non-negotiable
PARIS/WASHINGTON - France said on Thursday that the world’s nations would have equal access to any coronavirus vaccine developed by pharmaceuticals giant Sanofi, a day after the CEO suggested that Americans would likely be the first in line.
“A vaccine against COVID-19 should be a public good for the world. The equal access of all to the virus is non-negotiable,” French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Thursday. Trump, who faces re-election in November and is pushing for an early re-opening of the economy despite the world’s highest coronavirus death toll, said he believed there would be a vaccine by the end of the year.
Fauci and other U.S. health experts have said it would likely be at least a year before a vaccine was available. He also told the Senate he was cautiously optimistic there would be one. The EMA’s head of vaccines, Marco Cavaleri, was sceptical that a vaccine could be ready by the autumn.
