Question: Was Trump justified to try to buy the rights to a COVID-19 vaccine?
Position‹2 of 4›: Healthcare is a right

This position holds Trump was not justified in trying to buy exclusive rights to a Covid-19 vaccine, because healthcare is a right. It argues that monopolising a life-saving vaccine would breach the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrines a right to health and adequate living.

The historic legal document to which all UN member states are bound, commits signatories to uphold and protect the right to life. Limiting access to the cure to a tiny minority would be a flagrant overruling of this law.
