President Trump announced that the U.S. has entered into an agreement with drugmaker Moderna to acquire 100 million doses of its potential COVID-19 vaccine

) to acquire 100 million doses of its potential COVID-19 vaccine for around $1.5 billion, the company and White House said on Tuesday.

The United States in recent weeks has made deals to acquire hundreds of millions of doses of potential COVID-19 vaccines from several companies as part of its Operation Warp Speed program, which aims to deliver a vaccine in the country by the end of the year.With the exception of its deal with AstraZeneca, which offered a lower price per drug in exchange for upfront research and development costs, all the deals price COVID-19 vaccines between $20 to $42 for a two dose course of treatment.

Moderna’s vaccine candidate, mRNA-1273, is one of the few that have already advanced to the final stage of testing and is on track to be completed in September, the company said this month. Moderna’s deal with the U.S. only pays out in full if the drugmaker hits certain unspecific timing benchmarks for vaccine delivery.

maramacdonald It will be Remdesivir all over again-NPR article:Remdesivir Priced At More Than $3,100 For A Course Of Treatment

Does it even work?... This looks like gambling

We paying them hundreds of millions too like we did for GM to NOT produce anything for us?

...and how many Russian doses?

No thanks never had a flu shot or had the flu. I don't personally know anyone whos caught covid and I've never wore a mask. Believe what u want I'll let everyone else test it first.

There is now an official vaccine pissing contest between Trump and Putin. If it backfires - see for how - it could crash public trust in vaccination globally, unleashing fresh pandemics of infectious disease.

Didn't we give funding to develop? So doesn't that mean we own it? I'm confused. We paid to have it developed and then we have to buy it? Doesn't trump know that there are about 358 million of us minus the people he killed.

desperation talks to a dwindling audience. who will take a vaccine from a man who profits from it and has sped up prob unsafe testing?

Now make them free for your people like other countries are doing

Guess what We will wait till you're gone to try the real vaccine!!!! Which we dont know what it is yet...

That's not enough.

Um. Trials?

Hot in the heels of..

Is it me, or has he switched to a deeper orange tan today?

166,456 AMERICANS DEAD - TOO LATE FOR VACCINE FOR THEM dOnny

How many successful vaccines has Moderna released? ZERO!!!

Just like Navarro’s sitting on millions of doses of hydroxyclorquine that we the taxpayer bought for no reason other than trump wanted to make a buck. Let’s see if the vaccine works before we buy it.

At any rate, let the trump family go 1st..........If they don’t drop dead, then WE’RE GOOD!

Not taking it.. nothing is going on this body

What GOP HouseGOP SenateGOP have shares in moderna_tx ? followthemoney

He looks extra pumpkiny today.

Yes!!! Back to normal

Unfortunately, most of us no longer believe what trump says. He is no longer news.

I guess drinking bleach didn't do the trick

'potential' vaccine. I 'potentially' could win the lottery

Why buy something for a vaccine that’s a hoax

I uh dont won't none. Nope not me. I'm wait on Dr. Fauci ok.

Will the fact that Trump is the one signing the deal be enough to get the conspiracy theorists to actually get vaccinated?

Let’s see the data first. Let the experts go over the steps and final product. I don’t trust the “so called president “ trump or putin....

Seems that the whole world is divided more and more that we are heading us to the extintion.

What if a different company ends up making the most effective vaccine?

I won’t be taking it 😳

Well that's nice...since we funded their research.

tit for tat. Now waiting on China to announce their 'Vaccine' !

Why a 100 million, is that how many Americans he thinks will be left when the vaccine gets approved.

Someone turned the tint a little too dark on his spray tan today.

Always a great idea to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer money on something that not only is unproven, it doesn't even exist yet.

$ABUS you mean! 😂

Seems premature...
