Re: Downside to vaccine theft
Well, if its proven legally then the perpetrator/s can be in serious hot water. Depending on where it gets stolen from geographically it can be difficult to puruse legal action.

The thing I think that bothers me is, I understand the capitalistic view in most scenarios but don't we think a global pandemic is grave enough to share information openly and maybe not profit massively off it?

It makes sense for a Coca Cola trade secret but not a virus that is killing hundreds of thousands and keeping the rest of us on lockdown until this vaccine goes through trials.
