Biden administration to buy 500 million Pfizer coronavirus vaccine doses to donate to the world

The Biden administration is buying 500 million doses of Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine to donate to the world, as the United States dramatically increases its efforts to help vaccinate the global population, according to three people familiar with the plans.

The first 200 doses will be distributed this year, with the subsequent 300 million shared in the first half of next year. The doses will be distributed by Covax, the World Health Organization-backed initiative to share doses around the globe, and they will be targeted at low- and middle-income countries. Pfizer is selling the doses to the U.S. at a "not-for-profit" price, according to the people familiar with the deal.

President Joe Biden is slated to announce the plan at the Group of Seven meeting in Britain this week amid growing calls for the United States and other rich countries to play a more substantial role in boosting the global supply of coronavirus vaccine. Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla is expected to join Biden in making the announcement.

We are a generous nation, this number is up from 80 million doses previously in the works.

The shots will be sold at a 'not for profit' price.

Wow,we are considered a “rich” country. I don’t buy into inequality BS but half of this country’s populated areas are a sh*thole run by the DNC as they get rich and give money away to the world when they could clean up their sh*tholes but they never will.

Yeah but at a not for profit price. How much of this money filters into politicians pockets.

This doesn’t seem different from what Trump was doing such as exporting ventilators once we had excess supply. There’s clearly a typo where it says the first 200 will be this year instead of 200 million. The question comes has Biden secured vaccine supply for Americans who will need booster shots? Also what good is it to provide these vaccines to those countries next year?

I feel dirty owning Pfizer stock. Granted in a recently inherited portfolio. More of a dividend play on my Mom’s part. Time to get out, it’s all a joke, and many someone’s are getting EVEN MORE FILTHY RICH.

So how much did Pfizer contribute to Joe’s election campaign? Or am I being too suspicious?

So, we’re close to $30 Trillion in debt and we’re supplying the world with more U.S. paid stuff. Good grief.

Good.

Other countries have liberals lining up to be lab rats for these experimental shots too.

We shouldn’t let our ‘rats hog them all.
