U.S. commits $1.2 billion to production of Oxford coronavirus vaccine

President Trump has launched Operation Warp Speed, which aims to make millions of doses of a coronavirus vaccine available by years end.

www.cbsnews.com

For earlier notes on this vaccine, see Posts #91 and #93. I do see it now, but I believe that originally AstraZeneca was promising the British to turn out 30 million doses of this vaccine for use by the British as early as this fall. Apparently, we are trying to buy our way into the action.
