It sounds like the FDA is trying to fund a vaccine, maybe by a acquisition (but this article isn’t clear) or by a ton of money with a distribution agreement. It sounds like someone is afraid that means the US is going to kill them by denying access and decided to make a scary anonymous claim. (Which is totally unsubstantiated in the document)
Let’s wait for the Facts before going to pitchforks, fires and racial minorities being strung up, shall we?
This is the exact same kind of conspiracy theory people were saying about this being a weaponized virus the Chinese leaked or the Iranians claiming that the US army sprayed this virus Qom to kill the faithful.
A good trick to deal with anonymous sources is to see who else is also quoted in the same articles or related article about the topic, and then assume they are the author, who just doesn't want to be seen being partisan or bending the truth.
"Karl Lauterbach, a professor of health economics and epidemiology who is also a senior lawmaker with the Social Democrats, junior partners in Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition, tweeted in reaction to the Welt am Sonntag report:
"The exclusive sale of a possible vaccine to the USA must be prevented by all means. Capitalism has limits"
From what I understand Karl is one of the backers of a move to a single payer system, and the elimination of private insurance in Germany - Bürgerversicherung. So I suspect what happened here is that the US is investing a huge amount of money into vaccines (which they should be doing), as well as making sure there is capacity for producing that vaccine (which they should also do), and a socialist in Germany got worried that there will not be any for them, unless their government has ownership and gave the wire a good anonymous sound bite.
