I didn't say they should give away for free. I SAID: If they really want to say they took nothing from the government, they would not take the nearly 2 billion guaranteed buyout to speed things up.

THIS is interesting, and I admire Trump for trying. Because no one has mentioned how much this vaccine is going to cost the average person.
