This Machine Kills - 52. Pharma Profiteers, Vaccine Apartheid
It’s time for a TMK fact check: coronavirus vaccine edition. We give five out of five pinocchios to the claim that Big Pharma won’t profit hand over fist from the production of vaccines. Five pinocchios to the claim that countries in the Global South will receive fair and cheap access to vaccines and treatments. And an unprecedented six out of five pinocchios to the claim that inequities in healthcare are actually market failures solved by stronger intellectual property rights for pharmaceutical corporations.

Big Technology Podcast - Why Rest of World wants to change international tech news, with Sophie Schmidt and Louise Matsakis
Rest Of World is a new publication that covers technology outside of North America and Europe.

But is this really a fix, or just a dodge? And why would Biden endorse making the filibuster a "talking filibuster"? And why did he sort of say and not say that Andrew Cuomo should resign? And more.
