WTO prioritizes business-supremacy over Covid-19 medicine access

*WTO Negotiations Prioritize Institution's Reputation Over COVID Medicines Access.* They seem dead set on cntinuing the patent and secrecy obstacles that prevent vaccinating everyone against Covid-19.

The WTO is fundamentally bad because it is a business-supremacy treaty, designed to suppress democracy and give businesses power over over people and their democratic institutions.

What gives rise to the WTO's repuitation? It is a battle between the plutocratists, driven by the profits of the companies that the WTO primarily serves, and the defenders of democracy who attack the WTO. I'm proud to be on democracy's side.

The article falls into the trap of using the term "intellectual property," which was promoted by businesses to create a presumption of legitimacy for ten or more different laws that the WTO pressures governments to submit to. These laws all tend to be more or less plutocratist, but they are so different in their manner of operating that generalizing about them all makes it hard to criticize any one of them.

Please join me in never using that term.
