No one ever accused politicians of consistency. For instance, politicians love to attack “Big Pharma,” but behind the scenes, engage in cronyism of the worst kind. The latest example is the Biden administration working on a multi-billion-dollar solution for one of the COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers, which allegedly violated other companies’ patents on the very laudable quest to make a vaccine.
At issue is that officials at the Department of Justice have intervened in a patent infringement lawsuit and asked a federal district court to absolve COVID vaccine pioneer Moderna of a huge financial penalty — and shift that burden onto U.S. taxpayers instead.
