BARDA's large funding for Moderna's bird flu vaccine raises concerns, given past failures like Jynneos. High investment may lead to a "too big to fail" mentality.
Biden props up failing Moderna with a goodbye gift of $590 million to rush bird flu vaccines Cluck Cluck. h/t to Barbara Honegger Sat, 18 Jan 2025 03:12:05 GMT https://merylnass.substack.com/p/biden-props-up-failing-moderna-with https://www.barrons.com/articles/moderna-bird-flu-vaccine-funding-95fc109a
Unusual amount for BARDA to spend on one product, though I must say that BARDA has been very good at picking losing products. For example, BARDA spent over a billion bucks on the Jynneos monkeypox vaccine, you know, the one with 4 different names to make it harder to link its past fails to the current brand name. When BARDA spends this much, its vaccines become TOO BIG TO FAIL. Guard your arms!
