Capitalist efficiency babyyy. You just know this shit is happening everywhere.
I also heard Terrance on trillbillies say that the US is on track to achieve hers immunity via vaccine in SEVEN YEARS (I couldn’t find whatever source he was talking about though) u/an_engel_on_earth provided the source. Grim stuff.
I think it's much more likely that they thought that different vaccine types may not work so they put a bunch of money into each one, and the pfizer mRNA one got all the media attention because it's new, had the catchy storage headline, and got trial results out the fastest. Most people in the US in the end are going to probably get the Moderna vaccine which is still mRNA but can be stored in a normal fridge for like a month (why the moderna one doesn't need to be stored super cold, idk, I think it's because Moderna has better tech from doing mRNA research longer and created a more stable compound, travesty of the free market that they aren't required to share that shit so pfizer can make a more stable vaccine).
