"Pfizer has made nearly $26bn (£21bn) in revenues in the first three months of the year, the bulk from its Covid-19 vaccine and new pill to treat the virus, prompting fresh accusations of pandemic profiteering.
Covid vaccines have saved many lives around the world and relieved the pressure on health systems, but Pfizer has faced criticism over its vaccine pricing and its refusal to waive patent protection to enable others to make the jab.
Last week 35 campaigners from Global Justice Now, Act-Up London, Just Treatment and Stop Aids protested against what they call pandemic profiteering, and delivered wheelbarrows full of fake money to Pfizer’s UK headquarters in Surrey on the day of the company’s annual shareholder meeting."
In this particular situation perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to oblige Pfizer to provide the vaccine free to all those countries which are in need of it, regardless of where they are.
Given their massive profits, its hardly likely to cause them any damage.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
