There are only two things I can't stand in this world: people who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztecmg Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 For those who were wondering how much Operation Warp Speed played a role in the Pfizer vaccine: Didn't stop the Trump folks from trying to take credit for it though lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FresnoFacts Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 Pence, Haley, and others are trying to give Trump credit today for this vaccine. Problem is Pfizer did not participate in Operation Warp Speed. Pfizer did make a deal with the US for doses of the vaccine but received no research funding like was received by Moderna and AstraZeneca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be trusted better and therefore preferred over what other vaccines are coming down the pipeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is Pfizer did not participate in Operation Warp Speed. Pfizer did make a deal with the US for doses of the vaccine but received no research funding like was received by Moderna and AstraZeneca. Guys, Pfizer absolutely participated in Warp Speed. They handled the R/D on their own (hooray private sector and libertarians). But they couldn’t have done it as quickly without the red tape cutting allowing stage 2 and stage 3 trials to run concurrently. You don’t get vaccines in 6 months without it. They also agreed to $2 billion in exchange for the manufacturing and distribution of an approved vaccine, money and cut red tape directly responsible from warp speed. https://news.yahoo.com/amphtml/so-is-pfizer-part-of-operation-warp-speed-or-not-well-its-a-little-complicated-175429888.html?__twitter_impression=true Operation Warp Speed was started in the spring as “a public-private partnership to facilitate, at an unprecedented pace, the development, manufacturing, and distribution of COVID-19 countermeasures,” according to the Trump administration’s own description of the program. While other pharmaceutical companies did take federal funds to develop a vaccine, Pfizer declined to do so, the only one of the major prospective developers to go it alone. At the same time, on July 22, Pfizer agreed to a $1.95 billion deal with the Trump administration “for large-scale production and nationwide delivery of 100 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine in the United States following the vaccine’s successful manufacture and approval https://investors.pfizer.com/investor-news/press-release-details/2020/Pfizer-and-BioNTech-Announce-an-Agreement-with-U.S.-Government-for-up-to-600-Million-Doses-of-mRNA-based-Vaccine-Candidate-Against-SARS-CoV-2/default.aspx The free market wins.

grandjean87 Posted November 10, 2020 Share Posted November 10, 2020 The Trump Administration and Operation Warp Speed (OWS)had no effect on the development of Pfizer/BioNTech’s vaccine. Their work on mRNA vaccines preceded C-19. They took no money. Concurrent trial designs are not novel. Phase 2b/3 trials are hardly rare especially in oncology. The FDA has had an AA program for a few decades (Accelerated Approval). Biologics can get to market before P3 confirmatory trials via BLA (Biologic License Approval). What Administration would have not signed off some means of accelerated trial designs and Rx development in this situation? I’ll be happy to give OWS its due. Eli Lilly’s mAB Rx has closer ties to OWS, but I don’t think it took up front funding. I know the NIH is aiding trials and the mAB received Emergency Use Authorization from the FDA. There will be direct Rx developments from OWS. Just not the $AZN vaccine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just not the $AZN vaccine. 2 billion up front is quite an incentive, even if Astrozenica or Moderna or Johnson & Johnson come up with a more effective one. And also maybe this upcoming administration, for one. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/09/05/kamala-harris-trump-coronavirus-vaccine-409320 “I will say that I would not trust Donald Trump” on the reliability of a vaccine, Harris said. The California senator, however, added that she would trust a “credible” source who could vouch that a vaccine was safe for Americans to receive... ..."Why do we think, God willing, when we get a vaccine — that is good, works — why do we think the public is gonna line up to be willing to take the injection?" Joe Biden asked on Wednesday. "We've lost so much confidence, the American people, in what's said [by the Trump administration]." The CDC released guidance on Wednesday telling states to prepare for the distribution of a vaccine by November, but the head of the government's vaccine accelerator program, Moncef Slaoui, said in an interview with NPR on Thursday that it was “very unlikely” a vaccine would be approved by early November. I can show you the governor of New York yesterday, casting doubt on the process of this good news if you like. It’s ok to give the Trump admin credit and still think they suck. It won’t hurt, I promise. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.
