From early bio-weapons research through until this partnership — sharing revenues from a product by contract is a partnership — the government has been playing the public, all the while arguing that “taxpayers” are getting a return of their “investment.” When billionaires have been spawned in the wake of all this “partnership,” it is assured that taxpayers have NOT received fair value or return on an investment.

And Covid was a massively profitable "event" for the few and burden for the many. A reminder, the mortality rate worldwide over a full three years does not rise to more than 1/10th of one percent. Scare the public into compliance and support for more government. That's been the game.

... it is assured that taxpayers have NOT received fair value or return on an investment.

Really? What exactly was the taxpayer investment here and what should the return be?
