“The fact of this matter is, it would be crazy for people to just rely on us. I would be the first to say it,” said ApiJect CEO Jay Walker. “We should be America’s backup at this point, but probably not its primary.”

Trump administration officials would not say why they are investing so heavily in ApiJect’s technology. The company has made only about 1,000 prototypes to date, and it’s not clear whether those devices can deliver the vaccines that are currently in development.

Something smells fishy…

Did we taxpayers “invest” in the sense of trade the cash for equity or “invest” in the sense of giving them half a billion dollars and hoping things turn out well?

Let me be more specific. The Lincoln Project just found its most crucial mission:

To save Americans from Trump’s plan to mix the need to get a vaccine to his mania for filthy lucre.

EVERY individual working on this will have my support.
