Regeneron Pharmaceuticals signed a $450 million deal with the United States via Operation Warp Speed—a program initiated by the federal government to speed up the development and implementation of vaccines and treatments for COVID-19—to fund the company’s antibody treatment. The cocktail, REGN-COV2, contains both laboratory-generated antibodies and those collected from patients who have recovered from the illness caused by the novel coronavirus. REGN-COV2 is under evaluation as a potential preventive agent and treatment for COVID-19. Regeneron hopes to have the cocktail ready by early fall. The federal government will own all of the doses developed, and plans to provide them to Americans free of charge.
Cost is $450 Million. Government will own it all. Will give it to Americans for free. $450 million is free? Wonder how Americans will end up paying for this on the back end. Nothing in life is free. WC will like that though. Also, who is given the distinction of an American?
