Ya, they're so big that they were able to do that. Even after development they have a head start in production capability. But most important I'd think is that they were able to keep the intellectual property all theirs.What part of Pfizer did not participate in operation Warp Speed, other than to sell their independently developed Vaccine to the US via it, do you misunderstand? Pfizer developed their vaccine on their own with no input, financial or otherwise, from the US Government.
Going back to last spring though, when no one had an answer....it would seem to me that Warp Speed putting billions into R & D of several companies had to have spurred the competition in the search for a vaccine.
