Pfizer now says it *is* a participant in Warp Speed. Spokesperson notes its significant purchase agreement with the US government.
Pfizer's head of vaccine development had told NYT it wasn't part of Warp Speed because it didn't take research $, but that's not the whole story.

Opinions vary, but some independent experts also told me Pfizer's comments to NYT at least needed more context - that the govt. purchase agreement and other elements of Warp Speed may have been a factor in this (preliminary!) news even without the company taking research money.
Other experts say Pfizer would've likely gotten to this point with or without the purchase agreement. So: we'll probably never have a definitive Who Gets Credit answer, but there is nuance. #nuance
