We were not. You were. If one were to go back in time to all the US government money -- not just the NIH -- funding which has inured to the benefit of the few, it would be an even larger picture of loss for the many and benefit of the few.
A choice tidbit in the article is worth repeating: "The NIH cited for the redactions an exemption to the act that enables agencies to withhold 'trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential'.”
Yup, that's freedom of information about public monies. Confidentially speaking. Now how does one calculate a return on investment from information redacted? Privileged? Secret?
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.
