"The story of the Moderna vaccine isn't one of a company taking huge gambles with shareholder dollars. It's the story of the US government giving billions and billions of dollars to a private firm, which will now *charge* the US government – and the American people – a 4,460% markup on the resulting medicine." pluralistic.net/2023/01/25/nat #covid

@actualham it's worth highlighting that according to the story the US will be enforcing non-competition based on falsified patent applications.

The US will be actively blocking others from competing on price.

That's the part that I think more need to consider.
