Yes HATE will be the destroyer .. I thank President Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon for his vision and tenacity as our lives will now get back to normal
Pfizer have already come out and said that they did not take public funding to formulate their vaccine.
*womp womp
Having the Government guarantee demand for the product would have been a huge boost for Pfizer. I don’t think it is appropriate to completely discount that effect.
Means nothing if you don't find the vaccine, or someone beats you to it.
The facts as I understand them is that Pfizer only needed to gain FDS approval, not that they got to market first.
If you can show me where is says that Pfizer had to get to market first to receive the funding, then that of course materially increases their risk.
They still had to get approval. They may not have got to that point. No vaccine safe enough, no approval, no sale.
