Moreover, Operation Warp Speed helped Pfizer and its German partner, with the US government pledging $ 2 billion in doses when the new vaccine was not yet proven effective. Most importantly, the government allocated $14 billion into its fight for a vaccine.įor example, Moderna has received over $ 4 billion in direct research aid. The project ensured that the authorities, scientists, and companies’ efforts led together to achieve the goal more smoothly than ever. After all, his government launched Operation Warp Speed. The vaccinations offer a bright spot in an otherwise brutally mismanaged crisis under the Trump administration. Every day an average of 2,000 Americans die from the effects of the virus, as many as on 9/11. The US alone now has over 319,000 COVID-19 related deaths. Seventy-seven million people have been recorded as infected with COVID-19 worldwide and 1.7 million have died from the virus to date.
It is also a desperately needed one, as the number of COVID infections continues to rise rapidly. Never before has a vaccine against a new virus been developed in such a short amount of time. Previously, 128,000 Americans had received their COVID vaccination approved by the US pharmaceutical company Pfizer and Germany’s BioNTech. The US health authority FDA had already approved the vaccine on Friday. Manufacturer Moderna plans to deliver up to 20 million doses by the end of December. The second vaccine against the coronavirus was released in the United States earlier this week. Despite all justified criticism of the US government’s leadership under President Donald Trump during the crisis, Operation Warp Speed is a testimony that almost anything is possible if resources are used correctly.
