I do not claim to be an expert but things that I've heard from financial news. Both Pfizer and Moderna a corporations you can, perhaps do own stock in them. Pfizer is owned by several countries, China is a major owner, and if I recall France and Germany. Moderna is listed as American owned. As to strings, I'm sure there are some. I surely there are some. As stated, I'm not expert but as I understand it our government to get the vaccines out at record speed has contracted for production even before the drugs are, were approved.
Cost do we know. We hear the government will give to the population for free. Nothing is free. It will be added to your tax bill and or to the growing national debt.
Either the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine are two shots. It is unclear if we will need boosters
in the future. Will those boosters also be paid for by the government? When, you will be able to get the vaccine, will you be able to choose which one?
Again I am not an expert. Rumor is that Johnson and Johnson has one that is only one injection.
Risk? We all demand exact answers yes, or no. We do not realize that everything has risk. You go to pick up your mail. If, you choose to walk, you can trip, you can get hit by a car, bit by a dog, hit by a car, hit by a golf cart, a bike. Even run over by a camel I suppose is possible.
