You made the claim that our return wasn't fair so I assumed you had some way to back that statement up.
What was redacted is the future payments Moderna may make to the government. Those can only increase the return to the taxpayers.
You wrote of $400 million, "...this is the payoff for the taxpayers." That was your claim, and also not backed up.
If one argues that the Moderna mRNA product was and remains "safe and effective," then your claim gains weight. If one argues the Moderna mRNA product was and remains NOT "safe and effective," then my claim gains weight.
I claim at the root that the mRNA product is neither "safe" nor "effective" -- given the publicly documented infections as even Fauci and others have "claimed" -- so any argument about return on an investment becomes rather moot.
The cited $2.5 billion is greater than the cited $400 million by a factor of more than six JUST TO BREAK EVEN as an "investment." Adding in the claim of "safe and effective" versus neither safe nor effective suggests this discussion is about far more than just a "return to the taxpayers."
