U.S. has contracts for 800 million vaccine doses. Media claim not enough

 MORE INDICATIONS POLITICS IS BEING PLAYED WITH COVID VACCINE

SEEMS PFIZER WANT SPECIAL TREATMENT

The U.S. major media is now off on another fake news report, suggesting that the Trump administration has not made arrangement for enough vaccine for the people. The fact is that the Trump administration has contract for 800 million doses of  vaccine from 6 companies. This was prudent since it was wise not to put all your money on one vaccine, when no one knew which would result in a viable vaccine.

It seems Pfizer has made a statement that they offered more doses to the Trump administration in August, before it had come to an end of testing.  It seems that it was also at a higher price than the 100 million already contracted by the government. It should be noted that Pfizer was also given a billion dollars for research.

Pfizer who was granted money from operation warp speed has put out falsehoods about them not being part of that program. It seems that there was also politics played by not releasing their testing outcome before the election. Who Pfizer is playing to here is a good question?

Actually Moderna's vaccine has had better results than Pfizer's, but after Moderna announced their results  Pfizer re reported their results with better numbers to match Moderna.

Moderna is also contracted for 100 million doses, between the two that will provide enough for 2 shots for 100 million Americans. That should cover all the essential healthcare workers, all the vulnerable elderly. 

The U.S. really does not need more vaccine from Pfizer, and with their political playing, maybe should be put on the back burner.

The U.S. also has contracts with Novavax, Sanofi, Johnson and Johnson and Astra Zeneca. The U.S has contracts for 300 million doses from Astra Zeneca.

Johnson and Johnson's vaccine will reportedly only require a single shot and will be available soon..

By the time the 100 million are vaccinated by Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, these other companies will be on line and plenty of vaccine will be available. 

We have 330 million citizens. If 100 million are children, who may not be able to use these same vaccines. Children may need more research before they are given these vaccines. If 60 % of the rest want a vaccine now, that is 130 million. I expect after that it will not be the rush situation and it will be a long extended time to service the rest of the population.

Just a few months ago, many were complaining that the U.S. was hogging all the supplies and not leaving enough for the rest of the world. Now the fake news has another lame angle to attack Trumps response to the Pandemic. Will their disgusting fake news ever end?
