Trump has banked on finding a vaccine to turn the tide on the virus and now his administration is investing an additional $472 million in Moderna's vaccine trial as the company enters phase three, the final step in determining how effective a vaccine is

The Trump administration is going to pump another $472 million into expanding Moderna’s clinical trial to test the safety and efficacy of its coronavirus vaccine candidate.Moderna announced Sunday that the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, known as BARDA, is pouring the additional dollars the day before the phase three trial of the vaccine candidate is slated to start.The funding will help the biotechnology company expand the trial to 30,000 people in the U.S.

Previously, Moderna had received up to $483 million from BARDA, bringing the total award to $955 million — almost $1 billion. The study is being done in collaboration with National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is directed by Anthony Fauci.

Vaccines cannot help those who really need them (vaccine prices, false benefits), but only Trump's election tool.

What About the HOAX !!!

TRUMP PAY TO FIND A CURE, IN EUROPE, IN AMERICA. NO ONE DO HALF OF WHAT HE DO AND HE IS SHOWED IN MEDIA AS HE FAIL.. IN FRANCE WE HAVE FAR MORE DEATH, NO ECONOMY ANYMORE, VIOLENCE AND CHAOS AND MEDIA STILL SUPPORT MACRON. IF MEDIA WOULD BE UNFAIR LIKE IN USA PARIS WILL BURN TODAY

Hope all research companies are supported in the same way

DEMENTIA Biden can’t even string a sentence together using the word CoronaVirus.

Trump? Every American is banking on it, oops... well not everyone. Democrats and fakenews still pulling for coronavirus to last till November, even if kills every American.

How much stock did they buy?

Even with all this money we can't trust Moderna. Trump wants a vaccine whether or not it works. Test result will likely be fudged to sayvwhat Trump wants. It will be worse than COVID19

I wonder how much stock the Trump family owns?

But an extra $600 a week in UI is absolutely way too much...

If the administration is investing in the vaccine, that’s our tax dollars, right? So the vaccine, strictly speaking, is the property of the people. And if it’s the property of the people, they shouldn’t be charged a fee for their own property. Or am I being naive?

That is our money. Did congress approve this?

I hope all this money going to all these companies is being controlled and managed.

Instead of an adequate testing program.

Earlier in the day, Giroir teased an announcement on a “large investment” that would “improve the supply chain' while insisting that anyone that 'needs' a coronavirus test can get one

So i guess you idiots are AGAINST a vaccine since Trump is for it. Our money is better spent painting BLM murals on city streets.

Do we trust this?

But first, Trump and his coherts all bought the stock....then announced.

How will he financially benefit from this?

Good luck with taking vaccine. I'm a bit nervous taking it becoming a guinea pig. Let the GOP try it out first.

Democrats and MSM have been blaming Trump for the number of the virus infections and deaths in the U.S.But the resurgence of both infections and deaths in Europe and Asia knock the bottom out of such partisan propaganda.

Cure or no cure. It's all about how he handled the crisis. He failed.

Trump could use his own money and take some credit, or its not his credit to take.

What happened to that scientific genius he inherited from his uncle who went to MIT?

So if it works, it’s free right? Tax dollars are paying for it
