Again,
reading comprehension shows why it matters.
>> Pfizer notably did not accept government money to develop, test or expand manufacturing capacity under Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly find a vaccine and treatments for the disease sweeping the country.
In fact, Pfizer partnered with the vaccine’s original developer, Germany’s BioNTech, in March and the following month announced the first human study in Germany. The White House announced Operation Warp Speed in May.
Pfizer opted not to join Operation Warp Speed initially but is following the same general requirements for the vaccine’s development as competitors who received government research money. The company says it has risked $2 billion of its own money on vaccine development and won’t get anything from Washington unless the effort is successful.
“Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine development and manufacturing costs have been entirely self-funded,” Pfizer spokeswoman Jerica Pitts said this week. “We decided to self-fund our efforts so we could move as fast as possible.”
However, Pfizer did sign an agreement with the U.S. government in July worth $1.95 billion — if the vaccine pans out and is cleared by the FDA — to supply 100 million doses. That guarantees Pfizer a U.S. market, an important incentive. <<
The post you actually made and then cut out so as to hide it, actually said:
the reportedly remarkably-effective first-of-a-kind vaccines the Trump Admin caused to be developed.
So ......nnnnnno. Basically Rump said "whatever you got, we'll take it. Even though we know it'll magically go away"
What you have here is basically like ordering post-it notes on eBay and then crowing to the world that you "
invented post-it notes" because you paid for shipping.
