It's just "to accelerate development". Any drug company that does vaccines would loooooooove to come out with a new, more effective product in that field and most likely spends money on that already. It's a huge, reliabl

If anything in the US, it is the duty of the press to express themselves independently in elections. And protected under constitutional freedom of speech. If anything they have been often derelict in their duty for quite a while now.
