It's absolutely hilarious that earlier in the year, Trump's minions were bitching that this virus was a hoax by big pharma to cheat American's money, cause autism and implant a tracking chip to take away their freedom.
And now, suddenly Trump is a hero for funding Pfizer's vaccine research and should take credit for it.
The mental gymnastics is amazing.
it's as if you're pigeonholing different sects of people into one giant fallacy, or something.
also, from lefty nyt:

In July, Pfizer got a $1.95 billion deal with the government’s Operation Warp Speed, the multiagency effort to rush a vaccine to market, to deliver 100 million doses of the vaccine.
...
On Monday, a spokeswoman for Pfizer clarified that the company is part of Operation Warp Speed as a supplier of a potential coronavirus vaccine.
Although it’s true that Pfizer and BioNTech had been working on a vaccine all year before the companies struck their deal with the U.S. government in July, a $1.95 billion deal is nevertheless a significant incentive to keep going.
