He gave Moderna 500 million dollars in April to develop the vaccine and another 1.5 billion dollars in August to produce and distribute it. But keep on lying like a sac of you know what if that makes you feel good about yourself.
He didn't give it -- WE gave it.
And the feds handed out all kinds of money. One company was given 1.6 billion dollars -- and they have NEVER brought a product to market.
The federal government gave Novavax $1.6 billion to expedite the development of a coronavirus vaccine. It’s the largest deal to date from Operation Warp Speed, the sprawling federal effort to make coronavirus vaccines and treatments available to the American public as quickly as possible.
Key factor here - this company has NEVER brought product to market.
That's a big gamble -- that we lost. I would have stuck with the known folks.
And why did Moderna need money but Pfizer didn't?
If it was the Dems that had been handing out cash-- the Republicans would be screaming about it.
He got ball rolling and money flowing. He made it happen.
Is there any president under similar circumstances who would not have agreed to create new debt, approved by Congress, to invest in trials or distribution of a vaccine?
Anyone who thinks that meat puppet Joe Biden could have facilitated a private-public partnership to develop a COVID-19 vaccine in 9 months hasn't been paying attention to that fools 47-year career in government. He hasn't accomplished a thing in 50 years and he certainly couldn't have orchestrated an accomplishment of this magnitude.
That's OK even you smug Trump-haters will benefit from his leadership on this issue. Whether you admit it or not.
It never would have happened under Democrat leadership simply because it took streamlining the process to allow this to happen this quickly. Democrats always want more regulation, more red tape, more hoops to jump through, not less.
Trump gave Moderna 1.5 billion dollars in August but yeah, keep lying if that makes ya’ feel good.
Trump gave Moderna $1.5B? You wanna explain how that works?
