Resumo: | Covid-19 pandemic has put humanity in check, forcing the entire world to implement social distancing and isolation measures, affecting the planet's economy and public health. Big pharma financed, on many occasions, with public money, got involved in a runaway race to get a vaccine that could return the planet to the long-awaited normality, leaving their coffers full in the process. This paper analyzes the consequences of preventing the release of the patent for this vaccine in relation to the human right to use advances in science and technology. Using a qualitative methodology, with a descriptive scope, based on the bibliographical review, the contrast that occurs between the rights of peoples to receive the vaccine against Covid-19, as part of the right to to the use of advances in science and technology as a third generation human right, and the interests of large pharmaceutical companies and private business conglomerates, in the light of Law, ethics and public health, discerning on a controversial issue that has humanity in suspense. Concluded that what is at stake goes beyond economic interests, since those who own and maintain ownership of patents will have an advantage in terms of geopolitics and, incidentally, greater control over biopolitics. |

As grandes farmacêuticas financiadas, muitas vezes, com dinheiro público, se envolveram em uma corrida desenfreada para conseguir uma vacina que pudesse devolver o planeta à tão esperada normalidade, deixando seus cofres cheios no processo. Este artigo analisa as consequências de impedir a liberação da patente dessa vacina em relação ao direito humano de usar os avanços da ciência e da tecnologia. Utilizando uma metodologia qualitativa, com escopo descritivo, com base na revisão bibliográfica, o contraste que ocorre entre os direitos dos povos de receber a vacina contra a Covid-19, como parte do direito ao uso dos avanços da ciência e tecnologia como um direito humano de terceira geração, e os interesses de grandes empresas farmacêuticas e conglomerados empresariais privados, à luz do Direito, da ética e da saúde pública, discernindo sobre um tema polêmico que deixa a humanidade em suspenso. Concluiu que o que está em jogo vai além dos interesses econômicos, pois quem possui e mantém a titularidade de patentes terá uma vantagem em termos geopolíticos e, aliás, maior controle sobre a biopolítica.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2023-11-22info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/sequencia/article/view/9357410.5007/2177-7055.2023.e93574Seqüência - Legal and Political Studies; Vol. 44 No. 94 (2023): Seqüência - Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos; 1-26Revista Seqüência: Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos; Vol. 44 Núm. 94 (2023): Seqüência - Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos; 1-26Seqüência Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos; v. 44 n. 94 (2023): Seqüência - Estudos Jurídicos e Políticos; 1-262177-70550101-9562reponame:Sequência (Florianópolis.
