    I look forward to the millions of deaths.

      What’s going to be really exciting is when a European or East Asian country creates a vaccine and the US starts threatening anyone who goes overseas for treatment or tries to bring the treatment stateside.

      If bird flu takes off it could be billions, and tens or hundreds of millions in the USA.

    Moderna said it would explore alternatives for developing the vaccines covered by the contract, which were to be designed for several types of flu viruses that have the potential to cause a pandemic.

    Looks like China is gaining a new customer.

    Ok fuck it, tin foil time. Bird flu is obviously coming and Moderna knows the money will be there when the time comes. Did they already get their money for the grant? Are they now able to patent the vaccine with no strings attached? Was this planned all along as a favor to Moderna shareholders?

    When real corruption is so prevalent it’s hard to not fall to dark whimsy.
