"It wasn’t clear why the Trump administration refused the offer from Pfizer. When Operation Warp Speed initially purchased doses of the vaccine, the contract came with an option to purchase 500 million more.

Forbes reported on Monday that HHS has not exercised that option."

Why would they decline this offer?? It has to benefit him or his demon spawn financially somehow. Maybe he owns more Moderna than Pfizer in his portfolio.

Amen…everything, every decision with this group has to be looked at through this filter. How do they benefit is the guiding principle. These people are so crooked that when they die they will have to be screwed into the ground to bury them.

Was Scott Atlas, Dr. of Herd Immunity, part of the reason? He was trumpeting his claims on Fox about letting the pandemic run its course naturally (and the heck with the millions who would die or be disabled) long before he became an “official” government “advisor.”
