According to your SNOPES:
"$1.95 billion allocated to Pfizer was for large-scale manufacturing and nationwide distribution."
"Technically, the work conducted by Pfizer and its partner, German drugmaker BioNTech, is an expansion of OWS and was operating under an agreement to meet the goal of OWS to deliver 300 million doses of a vaccine in 2021. As part of the agreement, the U.S. government would receive 100 million doses after the successful manufacturing of the vaccine and its approval by the FDA."

Exactly. That was to PURCHASE PRODUCT.

It was not to fund research.

Who says they aren't? Do you have information that parents of school age children are NOT getting vaccinated?

I was referring to those folks who are anti-vaxxers that have children; those folks who refuse the vaccine because of fear that have children; those folks who are vaccine hesitant that have children; those folks who refuse the vaccine and and not are protecting others children. I know they are out there and so do you. It is the younger folks refusing the vaccine.....you know the folks with kids.

Since the start of Covid, just over 400 children 0-18 have died from Covid. In that same timeframe, more than 70,000 children 0-18 have died from other causes…

The operative words (and I am sure you are aware since you included it) are "has been". DELTA seems to find children much tastier.

Actual deaths, not fear mongering news reports designed to increase viewership or readers…

So, a whole week or two since DELTA surge began. Okay.

I assume you understand exponential growth?
