Modern GOP in a nutshell.
Good time to remind everyone that Pfizer did not accept $ for vaccine development.
In July, Pfizer got a $1.95 billion deal with the governments Operation Warp Speed, the multiagency effort to rush a vaccine to market, to deliver 100 million doses of the vaccine. The arrangement is an advance-purchase agreement, meaning that the company wont get paid until they deliver the vaccines. Pfizer did not accept federal funding to help develop or manufacture the vaccine, unlike front-runners Moderna and AstraZeneca.
Pfizer has distanced itself from Mr. Trump and Operation Warp Speed. In an interview on Sunday, Kathrin Jansen, a senior vice president and the head of vaccine research and development at Pfizer, said, We were never part of the Warp Speed, adding, we have never taken any money from the U.S. government, or from anyone.

Last Night Is Why Joe Biden Won
Every president is eventually called upon to help us collectively grieve.
JOE BIDEN may be the first president elected to do so.
His speech Thursday night had some important policy promises by May 1 every adult will be eligible for a vaccine and by July Fourth relative normalcy will return.
But it is worth taking a moment to dwell on this unique pastoral role of the presidency, if only because it has been absent for the last four years and because Biden is being widely praised for restoring it.
