    Could it be that Moderna threatened to pull all R&D and associated money from the US? …. Nah….

    (Seriously though, they did threaten and it would have had a large economic impact. Pulling money is just an effective of a bribe as paying money)

      $18B value, there are much bigger pharmas.

      But BIOGEN successfully blackmailed the FDA in 2021 to approve an Alzheimer drug you never heard of because it never worked and killed many patients.

      FDA has a corruption problem, and it’s not just under Trump.
