Taxpayers, not Big Pharma, will shoulder much of the financial risk that #vaccine candidates may fail.
Operation Warp Speed will use USG resources to quickly test the most promising #coronavirus vaccines in animals, then launch coordinated human trials to winnow down candidates.

The best prospective vaccines would go into wider trials at while mass production ramps up in parallel.
The project will cost billions and will likely result in significant waste by making lots of #vaccine doses before knowing if they’ll be safe/effective.
