    I am not sure it needs to be if the foundation is Mrna vaccines. At least that’s the idea anyway.

    I was just pointing out how much the government spent and, it was quite a lot.

      Yeah I get what you are saying, you are not wrong. But I have replied to a different person who said this specifically:

      we’d have a research arm of the FDA that was employing scientists/chemists to develop drugs for the most basic health needs of its citizens and dispensing them at cost to keep drugs affordable but developing cures versus disease maintenance drugs

      That is not just vaccines for me. All vaccines are drugs but not all drugs are vaccines.

      And that is surely way to much to handle for the government. There isn’t even a single large pharma company that does all that.
