twist a new co-host the winner of Survivor 45 Dvayodorus

Hi listen to on-fire the official Survivor Podcast wherever you get your podcast. Dr.

Sloughy, thank you so much for joining us.

You know, President Biden said that he would reach 100 million doses within the first hundred days. He reached that

goal in 58. What do you make of that accomplishment?

Well first I think it's great that a 100 million doses of vaccines have been delivered.

I do think that was a very obvious objective to be achieved and it was very clear it was going

to be achieved substantially earlier than 100 days in the president's, you know,

presidency.

So I guess it was a very lowly defined objective, But the most important actually is a hundred million doses have been given and that's that's what counts.

President Trump gave an interview this week in which he said that without his work

there would not have been a vaccine for years. Do you agree with that?

Well I think the operation has helped accelerate the development of a number of vaccine

by either creating more financial incentive for a company like Pfizer or for the other five

companies by actually accelerating, participating, operationally into the development of the vaccine,

and also of course financing the research and development.

I am convinced that vaccines would have come later and certainly less vaccine if only Pfizer had made it.

Clearly they were able to develop this vaccine on their own.

Well, Pfizer and Moderna, they had been working on these MRNA vaccines. Was the difference that U.S. taxpayers basically subsidized what Moderna and Johnson were doing?

The U.S. taxpayer money has indeed participated in the financing of all the

the research and development, the build-up in manufacturing.
