maybee they should rename it from moderna to US govt corona vaccine:
"Public Citizen previously published a
report showing that, in addition to the U.S. government’s early investments, the government has filed patents related to the vaccine and will likely have an ownership stake in the vaccine technology. Moderna has relied on a
stabilized spike protein developed by the U.S. government. The U.S. government also
funded 100% of Moderna’s project to bring the vaccine to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration approval. Taxpayers also paid twice when the Trump administration paid Moderna an additional
$1.5 billion to secure doses in advance."
Taxpayers paid for 100% of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine development.

Taxpayers paid for 100% of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine development. *We paid $2,500,000,000* It absolutely must be made a public good that is free and available to everyone around the world. This is the people's vaccine. Not Big Pharma's.
