I bet Eric and Baby Don Jr. have a ton of it.

He wasted a lot on the huge amount of hydrochloroquine doses we now have in our strategic stockpile. Wow, we are ready for, ah, an outbreak of malaria?

Now, let's waste a lot of money, (out of sheer desperation) on a plan to turn Americans into guinea pigs. Should we practice whistling?

He's like a spoiled rich kid with a platinum credit card and a raging cocaine habit.

Along with a lot of the physical supplies they are basically paying for production lines that will be needed in the future. Also some preparatory processes and supplies.

.... 1/3 of American society. What about the other 2/3 ? Are they to just assume the fetal position, roll up in the corner and die ? Is that the trDump game plan ?

Yes, always. What about all those doses of hydroxy? Now it's the vaccine.

These people are trying their damnedest to destroy the country.

... Spool up production of the vaccines in trial, so that they're ready to go if they do prove safe and effective. As Bill Gates said, all it costs is money. On the other hand, the deals do need to be looked at very closely, because in the wrong hands, as we all know they're in, the situation is ripe for abuse.

I won't speak to the price point because I don't know whether that price is fair or not.

But I will say that I approve of purchasing now.

Let's make the stuff JUST IN CASE IT PASSES the trials.

If it does, we will have the stockpile available to roll it out immediately nationwide.

If it doesn't, then it gets tossed into a bonfire.

It is a gamble but a good one. Our economy is bleeding at a terrible rate. 1.5B would be a drop in the bucket compared to waiting months to purchase and manufacturer after approvals.

I know this won't be popular so have at me.

That Fauci has a lot of money invested in a vaccine (false, of course). I wonder what the right wing conspiracy theorists hink about this?
