You go ahead and take it. I'll wait a bit to see how it works out for you.

Nah. Pfizer only made a $1.95 BILLION deal to sell its vaccine to the federal gov't. No story here. Move on now.

Pfizer'''s COVID-19 vaccine was funded by Germany—not US Operation Warp Speed | Fortune

Pfizer didn’t receive any funding from Operation Warp Speed for the development, clinical trial and manufacturing of the vaccine. Rather, its partner, BioNTech SE, has received money -- from the German government.

What the U.S. did, meanwhile, was commit to buying hundreds of millions of vaccines in advance to ensure Americans were among the first in line if it clinches an emergency-use authorization or approval from the FDA. The Trump administration agreed in July to pay almost $2 billion for 100 million doses, with an option to acquire as many as 500 million more, once that clearance comes.


Fact Sheet: Explaining Operation Warp Speed | HHS.gov

July 22: HHS announced up to $1.95 billion in funds to Pfizer for the large-scale manufacturing and nationwide distribution of 100 million doses of their vaccine candidate. The federal government will own the 100 million doses of vaccine initially produced as a result of this agreement, and Pfizer will deliver the doses in the United States if the product successfully receives FDA EUA or licensure, as outlined in FDA guidance, after completing demonstration of safety and efficacy in a large Phase 3 clinical trial, which began July 27th.

So, am I understanding this correctly? Once Pfizer has researched, developed and tested the vaccine, then if it is good enough, the US. will pay through Warp Speed to produce 100 million doses. How is this different from buying any other foreign product? Except some of the research is conducted in the US.

Not sure I follow your question but my understanding is the US vaccine will be manufactured at Pfizer sites in Kalamazoo, Andover, Massachusetts, and St. Louis for its U.S. COVID-19 production.

EU vaccine will be manufactured in Belgium and Germany where 300M doses have been ordered.

Wonderful, happy to hear that some of the vaccine will be produced in the US. Maybe the facilities were funded by Warp Speed?

Pfizer didn’t receive any funding from Operation Warp Speed for the development, clinical trial and manufacturing of the vaccine.

Warp Speed will be paying $19.50 per shot for the vaccine and make it available for free in the US.

I just read an article from The Wall Street Journal this morning with the quote below;

"The Food and Drug Administration is days away from beginning its evaluation of Covid-19 vaccines for emergency use—a process that could lead to vaccine distributions by year’s end to limited groups such as health-care workers and the elderly."

For anyone who wants a "shot" at getting a vaccine early, they are still searching for vaccine trial volunteers.
