Pfizer, which developed the first and still most widely used COVID vaccine (at least in the US) took no money from the US government to develop its vaccine. https://www.forbes.com/sites/andrewsolender/2020/11/13/trump-falsely-claims-credit-for-pfizer-vaccine-though-company-did-not-take-government-funds/?sh=3662a21b69cb

simple question, surely you can answer
@mott-the-hoople saidTHE FACTS: Not so much. Pfizer notably did not accept government money to develop, test or expand manufacturing capacity under Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly find a vaccine and treatments for the disease sweeping the country.
who was the president that started “operation warp speed”?
simple question, surely you can answer
In fact, Pfizer partnered with the vaccine’s original developer, Germany’s BioNTech, in March and the following month announced the first human study in Germany. The White House announced Operation Warp Speed in May.
Pfizer opted not to join Operation Warp Speed initially but is following the same general requirements for the vaccine’s development as competitors who received government research money. The company says it has risked $2 billion of its own money on vaccine development and won’t get anything from Washington.

Simple question, why are you having such a hard time with it?
Oh yeah, I noticed you left out part of the article…
“ However, Pfizer did sign an agreement with the U.S. government in July worth $1.95 billion — if the vaccine pans out and is cleared by the FDA — to supply 100 million doses. That guarantees Pfizer a U.S. market, an important incentive.”
@mott-the-hoople saidAn utterly accurate comment !!
an utterly stupid comment
And if we insist on giving credit to a politician, I would rather give that credit to Merkel.
She was the political driver in the development of the vaccine on German soil.
You don't have to explain why you think it was an utterly stupid comment.
We already know you are a dumbass who swallows Koolaid as soon as it is fed to you.
@mott-the-hoople saidMUTT, I don't evade your sophomoric queries.

AP FACT CHECK: Trump wrongly takes full credit for vaccine
President Donald Trump is wrongly taking full credit for Pfizer's announcement that its COVID-19 vaccine was robustly successful

President Donald Trump speaks in the Rose Garden of the White House, Friday, Nov. 13...
WASHINGTON -- President Donald Trump on Friday wrongly claimed full credit for Pfizer Inc.’s announcement that its COVID-19 vaccine was robustly successful, misrepresenting the extent of government support behind the company’s efforts.
A look at the claim, made during his first public remarks since his defeat by President-elect Joe Biden:
TRUMP: “As a result of Operation Warp Speed, Pfizer announced on Monday that its China virus vaccine was more than 90% effective. ...Pfizer said it wasn’t part of Warp Speed, but that turned out to be an unfortunate misrepresentation.”
THE FACTS: Not so much. Pfizer notably did not accept government money to develop, test or expand manufacturing capacity under Trump’s Operation Warp Speed initiative to quickly find a vaccine and treatments for the disease sweeping the country.
In fact, Pfizer partnered with the vaccine’s original developer, Germany’s BioNTech, in March and the following month announced the first human study in Germany. The White House announced Operation Warp Speed in May.
Pfizer opted not to join Operation Warp Speed initially but is following the same general requirements for the vaccine’s development as competitors who received government research money. The company says it has risked $2 billion of its own money on vaccine development and won’t get anything from Washington unless the effort is successful.
“Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine development and manufacturing costs have been entirely self-funded,” Pfizer spokeswoman Jerica Pitts said this week. “We decided to self-fund our efforts so we could move as fast as possible.”
However, Pfizer did sign an agreement with the U.S. government in July worth $1.95 billion — if the vaccine pans out and is cleared by the FDA — to supply 100 million doses. That guarantees Pfizer a U.S. market, an important incentive.
The supply side of Operation Warp Speed also allows Pfizer logistical help, although the company will directly ship its own vaccine, while the government will control shipping of other COVID-19 vaccines.
Pfizer’s announcement does not mean a vaccine has been approved and will immediately hit the market.
The next step for Pfizer would be to apply for “emergency use authorization” by the Food and Drug Administration, probably later this month, which would allow for limited distribution before it seeks full FDA approval for wider use by the general public in 2021. Neither step is guaranteed to happen.
