										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People&#8217;s Vaccine Alliance, a group of organizations and activists are campaigning for people&#8217;s vaccine. They have recently claimed that the monopoly in the production of the Covid-19 vaccines has made the CEO&#8217;s and founders of 9 pharmaceutical companies billionaires. According to them, these 9 new billionaires have a combined net wealth of $19.3 billion which is more than enough to vaccinate all people in low income countries. Also, 8 existing billionaires have seen a rise in their net worth due to the same.</p>
<p>The list of these newly formed billionaires includes CEO of BioNTech, CEO and two founding investors of Moderna and the company&#8217;s chair, CEO of a company with a deal to manufacture and package the Moderna vaccine. The remaining billionaires are all co-founders of the Chinese vaccine company CanSino Biologics.</p>
<p>This is happening because the stocks of Pharmaceutical companies are seeing a rapid rise in the expectancy of huge profits from the Covid-19 vaccine.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pfizer and BioNTech said Thursday their Covid-19 vaccine was highly effective against the South African variant in the latest phase of ongoing clinical trials.<br>No cases of the disease were observed in South Africa during the phase-three trial study among participants who had received their second dose, the companies said in a statement. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Several coronavirus variants with the potential to be more transmissible have caused global concern over whether existing vaccines will still protect the world from a virus that is constantly mutating.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;In South Africa, where the B.1.351 lineage is prevalent and 800 participants were enrolled, nine cases of Covid-19 were observed, all in the placebo group,&#8221; the companies said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The nine strains were sequenced and six of them were confirmed to be of B.1.351 lineage, they said.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;The high vaccine efficacy observed through up to six months following a second dose and against the variant prevalent in South Africa provides further confidence in our vaccine&#8217;s overall effectiveness,&#8221; said Albert Bourla, chief executive of Pfizer.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Overall, the vaccine was 91.3 percent effective against Covid-19 in the analysis of 46,307 trial participants across several countries.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the 927 confirmed symptomatic cases of Covid-19 in the trial, 850 cases were in the placebo group and 77 cases were in the vaccinated group.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The vaccine was 100 percent effective in preventing severe disease as defined by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and 95.3 percent effective in preventing severe disease as defined by the US Food </p>
