US Taxpayers Heavily Funded the Discovery of COVID‐19 Vaccines

These foundational advances were funded in part by US taxpayers and laid the groundwork for the COVID‐19 vaccines the world is racing to get into as many arms as possible. Without these investments, it would have been far more challenging to achieve the rapid and remarkable success we have seen with mRNA vaccine development during this pandemic.

In addition to decades of government funding for research prior to the pandemic, the US taxpayers added significantly more support during the pandemic to further accelerate vaccine development and capacity. Operation Warp Speed (OWS) invested billions of dollars in conducting rigorous clinical trials and in manufacturing with the participation of Moderna, AstraZeneca/Oxford, Johnson and Johnson, and Sanofi/GSK. In total, over $18 billion dollars of US public funds have been invested in 6 vaccine candidates.

US Taxpayers Heavily Funded the Discovery/Advancement of the SARS 2 COVID‐19 Virus, shipped to Wohan for release! What better way to teach, "Death is the wages of sin, Vs. the gift of God is everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our lord." [Romans 6:23] Can you see the difference?
