Oxford University wanted that no profit should be made by bigPharma on their research during the pandemic period and that the vaccine should be made available for low- and middle-income countries free of charge even after the pandemic.

I didn't know this @fChk. The reason that I'm hearing currently why South Africa is no longer using Oxford Astra Zeneka is that it is not that effective for the new South African variant of Covid 19:

But yes, the cost of Johnson&Johnson seems to be the equivalent of breaking a leg in Africa. They're out to make money. To the equivalent of bankrupting third world countries. The attraction initially was the free doses at the beginning of the programme. It's no longer as easy as it sounded. Together with trying to make South Africa liable for anything that can go wrong with the vaccine.
