So the J&J vaccine is a part of Warp Speed, correct?

I know that Pfizer and Moderna weren’t. I’ve been looking for an answer in this and I see comments by Warp Speed officials. I see a mention in the article below that:

The U.S. needs J.&J.’s one-shot vaccine more than ever. But the company is behind on manufacturing promises made in its Operation Warp Speed contract.

That Johnson & Johnson’s timetable has slipped is not unusual given the frantic pace of vaccine development amid the worst pandemic in a century. But the delay also highlights the unrealistic promises of Operation Warp Speed.

1. Pfizer was not. Moderna was.

Moderna & Pfizer:

The United States government provided $1 billion in support for the design and testing of the Moderna vaccine. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health oversaw much of the research, including the clinical trials. Moderna also received an additional $1.5 billion in exchange for 100 million doses if the vaccine proved to be safe and effective.

Although Pfizer has its own advance purchase agreement for its vaccine, it did not take money from Operation Warp Speed to support its design or testing.

Johnson & Johnson was also part of it, as indicated by the article you cited.

2. Biden administration has brokered agreement with Merck to assist J&J with manufacturing of their

(J&J) vaccine. So, from that POV, I suppose you could say they are, yes.

BTW, this level of cooperation among intense competitors is almost unheard of. Good on Biden's team.
