Yeah, the information in the article is basically meaningless. It doesn't matter how much the government gave Moderna if there's no mention of the total development costs (which I have been unable to find the actual numbers for).

The article also confirms that the claim is wrong, but they take a super roundabout way of getting there. The claim was that $2.5b was the total cost of development, the truth is that the $2.5b was for both development and to purchase vaccines

Pretty much every drug developed in the US has some amount of government spending behind it, but that certainly doesn't mean that the government pays for all of it or that the pharma companies don't deserve to make a profit on their products.

He's not, though. He's asserting that the actions of our government reflect the will of the people, and that hasn't been true for a very long time.

America has a stupid amount of different cultures that influence the country, so saying we have no culture and don't value human life is inaccurate.

No, I'm just attempting to point out that you're being a bigoted asshole. It's no different than saying all Italians are spaghetti eating mobsters.

You're trying to disparage an entire population based on a rather bizarre and totally inaccurate preconceived notion.

That's exactly what will happen

Well, yeah. They're in prison, so of course they must suffer the entire time. God forbid someone actually try to rehabilitate them.

Schizophrenia is really sad.

All you have to do is look up an interview with him in the early 2000s. He was still a self absorbed asshole, but at least he could form complete sentences.

It's a bribe, not a fee.

It's not a tip, it's a bribe. A tip is given after service has been rendered.

I'd probably start by reading some rose care instructions.

It's annoying that there's no mention of the consequences for running away

Lol, fuck that police chief. "We just want to point out that our officers dragging a disabled man out of his car by his hair was traumatic for the officers."
