they aren't exactly looking for a vaccine, though if they have one that they can convince people is at least as "effective" as the flu vaccine, they'll get it. They more want to plug Remdesivir since it's expensive, on-patent and they "claim" its getting good results with corona. Not the main drivers are the price tag, not how well it works. Is there even Zinc in Remdesivir?

Vaccines aren't cheap either, those Remdesivir is more expensive. However, Gilead is giving most of the Remdesivir doses away at a loss.

The vaccines absolutely will make whoever develops them an awful lot of money--and prestige--which is why they should be viewed with some degree of suspicion (and why I think the UK vaccine looks the most promising).

Nope. C27H35N6O8P.
