They should be in court for crimes against humanity someday.”, he says. “Today, there is a blockage on the part of these Big Pharma, there is a blockage on their part to transfer technologies and allow all continents and all countries to have access to a vaccine”, he continues.

The presidential candidate accepts his words: “I look forward to the future and you will see that when we do the accounts in several years on the management of this epidemic and the responsibility of Big Pharma who have jealously protected their patents to make ‘golden balls’, excuse- me for the expression, on humanity because they protected their patents, they didn’t want to share it. Well yes, it’s a crime against humanity “, he insists.
