Pence is crediting Operation Warp Speed for the Pfizer vaccine's apparent success. Unfortunately for Q-Tip Fly Bait, Pfizer did not participate.
Thanks to the public-private partnership forged by President @realDonaldTrump, @pfizer announced its Coronavirus Vaccine trial is EFFECTIVE, preventing infection in 90% of its volunteers, tweeted Pence, who heads the White House coronavirus task force and has maintained a low profile since the election.
Pfizer, unlike its competitors, did not join Operation Warp Speed, the government initiative designed to erase the financial risk of vaccine and therapeutics development by providing funding to companies and helping coordinate the trials. Instead, Pfizer plowed $2 billion of its own money into the project, a partnership with German biotech firm BioNTech, and then struck a $1.95 billion contract with the U.S. government to provide 100 million doses, contingent on the vaccines effectiveness.
