Moderna themselves have pledged (temporarily) not to enforce their COVID-19 patents anyways, so I’m not sure who you’re defending.

If McDonalds gave out their hamburger recipe today, I don’t think they’d be on the brink of bankruptcy tomorrow.

I would imagine stopping a global pandemic is in the best interest of everyone, including the creators of any vaccine. They’ve made a killing so far and will continue to make plenty of money, patents or not.
