Merck seems to have donated royalty-free licensing of molnupiravir, an antiviral used to treat COVID-19 patients to the UN Medicines Patent Pool. Pfizer did the same shortly after with another antiviral, paxlovid. Well done them!

Can’t find any of the vaccine recipes with the same kind of deal.

It’s just a crazy waste of resources - these people could be researching new treatments instead of being forced to reverse engineer the Moderna vaccine!
