We would not have had COVID vaccines today if not the massive financial support of governments.
Only Few countries participated in financing work on vaccines such as research, production and distribution.
The USA, through its Operation Warp Speed, co-financed among others: Moderna, SANOFI and GlaxoSmithKline, NOVAVAX, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson (Janssen Pharmaceutical).
Pfizer-BioNTech – got support from Germany and the USA.

China is financing, inter alia, Sinopharm, India – Covaxin, Russia is financing the production of Sputnik V through the Gamaleya Research Institute.
Researchers are currently testing 67 vaccines in clinical trials on humans. At least 89 preclinical vaccines are under active investigation in animals (data as of January 29, 2021).
The race for the vaccine is accelerating with every attempt to break the price-per-dose, making the poorest countries suffer the most.
Vaccine manufacturers direct them in the first place to countries to which they have obligations and where the profits are greatest.
The World Health Organization chief on 18 January 2021 warned that the world was on the brink of a ‘catastrophic moral failure’ on distributing vaccines which were mostly ‘hoovered up’ by wealthy countries.
During WHO’s week-long executive board meeting, Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus lamented that Guinea received a mere 25 vaccine doses while over 39 million jabs have been administered in nearly 50 richer nations.

India and South Africa have let a push at the WHO to waive intellectual property rights for Covid-19 vaccines and treatments, which activists say could significantly increase supplies of both by allowing any qualified manufacturer to produce them without fear of being sued or prosecuted.
Countries including the UK, US and Canada have opposed the IP waiver while at the same time buying up or reserving enough vaccine to inoculate their populations at least four times.
The terms of the Covid vaccines sales contracts are confidential.
