The Trump administration funded Operation Warp Speed with $6 billion and their goal is to deliver 300 million doses by January 2021

Biden has repeatedly said that Trump is doing nothing to save the people from Covid-19. So has the Media Mob. But the fact is that Trump has done a lot to get a new vaccine on the market. Normally, it takes 5 to 10 years to get a vaccine on the market, but Trump and his administration did it within a few months.

What Trump has been working hard on is Operation Warp Speed (OWS). The first news report of OWS was on April 29, 2020, and the program was officially announced on May 15,2020. OWS was formed to encourage private and public partnerships to enable faster approval and production of vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

OWS is funded with about $10 billion from CARES Act (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security) passed by the United States Congress on March 27, 2020. OWS`s overall goal is to deliver 300 million doses of a vaccine by January, and that`s enough to immunize 45% of the population.

Two companies are backed by OWS and that is Pfizer and Moderna. Both have announced positive results from their final stage of trials. Pfizer`s vaccine was found to be 95% effective in preventing COVID-19, while Moderna`s was found to be 94,5% effective.

OWS awarded Moderna $955 million to advance its clinical trials and another $1,5 billion to manufacture and deliver 100 million vaccine doses.

Pfizer`s contract is different. Pfizer received $1,95 billion to manufacture and distribute 100 million doses, but it did not accept funding for research or development.

The Media Mob said that Trump was stealing the cred for the vaccine, but most of the Warp Speed`s budget, around $10 billion, came from congressional funds awarded in the spring, according to the HHS.

A September Bloomberg Investigation found that the Trump administration siphoned additional funds to Warp speed that were meant for another public-health program. That included $6 billion from the Strategic National Stockpile and $1 billion from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

With FDA-authorized vaccines, we will hopefully get back to normal by the summer of next year, and hopefully, COVID-19 is under control before the next flu season……

Apple`s iPhone maker Foxconn is planning to go public on May 24

Foxconn Industrial Internet is planning to go public, and their IPO is expected to launch on May 24. Foxconn Industrial Internet, a subsidiary of the world`s largest contract manufacturer Foxconn, said it plans to raise $4,3 billion which is the biggest Chinese IPO in about three years.

With ten percent of its enlarged capital offered in the IPO, Foxconn industrial Internet would have a valuation of $42,62 billion at listing, and the Foxconn unit is offering 1,97 billion shares at 13,77 yuan per share on the Shanghai stock exchange.

Foxconn are making electronic devices, cloud service equipment and industrial robots, and they has signalled previously that they will launch projects in areas including manufacturing, industrial internet, cloud computing, and fifth-generation wireless technologies.

I said in one of my recent articles that smartphones will not be the big thing for the next hundred years. It doesnt stop here. This is probably why Foxconn want to go public, because most of its revenue is coming from Apples iPhones.

R&D is expensive but going public will give Foxconn more opportunities to expand into more cutting-edge technology. Will the Taiwanese company make the next generation of phones? Time will show.

Foxconn are making smartphones and cloud computing equipments and robots today, but what they want is to spend their 27 billion yuan to fund projects like artificial intelligence (AI) and fifth-generation wireless technologies.

Hon Hai Precision Industry Co will with its automated factory division give the company a better position in the tech supply chain.

The next generation of phones can become a part of us, and that intelligent operation systems will make us question what it truly means to be human.
