Pfizer and Moderna shares slide.

Good luck in the next outbreak. Capitalism saves the day during this disaster and then we? turn around and fuck the same system that’s going to deliver us from this nightmare.

While everyone is freaking out about Trump and Facebook, this seems like an equally important story.

    Yes the government has quite obviously LOST their fucking minds... The over reach, mischaracterization of authority and acts of bad faith now abound. Yow.

    If the intention is to weaken America, then none of this is losing of one's mind. It is intentional.

    Moderna guy doesn’t care because they stole their technology...may actually helps them in court. They already offered to release it for free.

    Flip side, the longer the disease lingers in 3rd world countries that can’t afford it, the more likely it mutates into something the current vaccines can’t prevent, and we’re back to March 2020 all over again.
    There are a boatload of 2nd and 3rd gen vaccines on the horizon that would/will fit that void as much as taking the IP from the first movers...hurts them as well. Doing it, especially now, seems bizarre which kinda fits the world we now live in...

    Makes you wonder if this is orchestrated for someone to then swoop in and gobble up shares

    I hear you and don't pretend to be able to work through all the secondary and tertiary complications. I just have this basic sense of it: individuals do good things solely for the sake of others; organizations whose shares trade on stock exchanges do not. The guys who discovered insulin? Good guys. Very thankful for those guys. The companies racing to find a vaccine? Not good guys. Profit guys. Our whole world has arrived at wherever we are based on this system of 'winning' and without it I would strongly presume we don't even have a vaccine to be discussing rolling out to the 3rd world at a subsidized price or whatever it is we have to do to help the 3rd world.

    In a pandemic like this, companies are not going to risk scarce capital to be good guys; they're going to hold back and do what they have to do to survive and 'wait it out'. Unless they are positioned to leverage what they do against that capital in a given circumstance and hit a bases clearing homerun. Take that possibility away and they're not even in the batters box.

    And so for this I indulge myself, again, to one of my favorite gifs:
