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.

“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....Roughly 6 million shots would be shared directly with countries experiencing severe coronavirus outbreaks, including India.”

Because India is one of the wealthiest countries in the world and cannot take it’s own money from something else and buy vaccines?

Donation to Pfizer using taxpayer money.

Yes. And just how is Biden planning to pay for this?

A tax "surcharge?"

From Hunter's "stash?"

I’m okay with it... IF foreign recipients get the U.S.A. flag tattooed on their shoulder along with the shot and the message “Paid for by U.S.A. taxpayers”. Otherwise, Biden should pay for it from the millions in bribe money he got from China.

This means many Americans were wise enough not take the jab, and trust God over man.

So now the Biden admin is bailing out Pfizer with U.S. tax payer money.

Thought all expenditures have to originate in the Legislative Branch?

How can the Executive Branch just bypass the Legislative Branch when it comes to spending taxpayers money?

The Chinese government may be evil but they're not stupid.

So America has that kind of money to burn for others when our own nation needs help? Let the other countries buy them

It’s the pic on the tarmac where he flicked a cicada off himself. He has funny looking fat feet. Wearing slippers or something. Strange
