Seems smart to fund this kind of research since it looks like it's only a matter of time until some kind of animal flu becomes a major problem for humans. We're sure not likely to stop the open-air markets, industrial farming, and environmental degradation that causes disease to flourish and spread. Here's hoping the investment pays off in lives saved!
It's just "to accelerate development". Any drug company that does vaccines would loooooooove to come out with a new, more effective product in that field and most likely spends money on that already. It's a huge, reliable, well established market.
I'm also against no-benefit backroom deals, but who ekse is qualified to develop and deploy st scale such a project? Of course it is likely that some Moderna execs know some Senators, but the same is surely true for Pfizer and every other qualified company.
So, what evidence do you have that this is an illegitimate deal? Ehat other company should have gotten the deal? Or, do you merely feel that a vague suspicion substantiates an accusation?
With news like this, now I understand why conspiracy theorists and vaccine skeptics feel the way they do. The whole hysteria surrounding the covid-19 vaccine fueled that fire way more than I ever thought it would.
News of the government trying to get in front of a pandemic explains to you why there are people that think vaccines allow the government to track you through 5g networks?
