Trump Vaccine Czar Makes $3.4M Windfall As Firm Reports Progress On coronavirus Shot And Stock Soars

NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

A controversial biotech firm is claiming early positive progress on its trial of a coranavirus vaccine — giving a massive financial boost to President Trump’s newly minted vaccine czar. The report sent Moderna stock soaring by up to 34% in pre-market trading Monday. It was trading up a more modest 22% by midmorning. The stock spike temporarily added at least $3.4 million to the bottom line of Moncef Slaoui, the just-named vaccine czar who was on the board of Moderna until his appointment. Slaoui, a veteran Big Pharma exec, holds 156,000 stock options that increased in value by more than $3 million on the Monday morning news. Ethics experts called the lucrative morning for Slaoui a prime example of why he should not be making decisions about winners and losers in the coronavirus vaccine race.

Good thing it’s impossible for a Democrat to have a conflict-of-interest.

It will work....or it won’t, right ? His appointment won’t affect its efficacy.

It makes for good chrony fodder, though....should be good for a while.

I heard from an insider that Johnson & Johnson will have their vaccine on the market in eight months.

A lot of people are making a lot of money on something we’ve never been able to do before.

We have never been able to create a viable coronavirus vaccine. I’m not saying we can’t...just that we haven’t.

There’s a lot of $$$$$ on the chess table to do this. I’m not holding my breath and won’t be getting the first year or two worth of shots.

Don’t kid yourself. This is another Deep Stater from the other team that Trump has found himself naming to a key position.

Here’s a George Webb piece that gets to some of his major conflicts and ties to the other side:

So what? The company was developing something most people want, not seeking a handout.

I am not at all in favor of the lockdown, with the exceptions of nursing homes and assisted living facilities.

A tough choice”
People who know nothing and don’t have a conflict?
Or people who know something and do?

Anyway, I’m sure there’s more to this story- and that it shows the fellow in a better light.
