Honestly, Moderna is an expert at grifting during the #COVID19 pandemic.

This is what every rational government should be watching out for:

Step 1. Convince the US to invest $1.5 billion in your vaccine development, despite no record of vax marketing.

Step 2. Make sure you bolster and research a vaccine the government likely ALREADY owns.

Step 3. Make sure the government pays for ALL of your efforts.

Step 4. Never commit to responding to the pandemic without making a massive profit.

Step 5. Get praised by @POTUS for charging the government (potentially) billions for a vaccine developed BY the government.
