File under: "Siri, use some distressingly large numbers in a sentence, please."
1. 15 M/ 62 M:
"Emergent was forced to destroy up to 15 million tainted doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, with another 62 million doses in jeopardy until it can be determined that they were not affected"
2. $628 M:
" Dr. Robert Kadlec, who served as Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response under President Trump and previously worked as a consultant for Emergent, appears to have pushed for this award despite indications that Emergent did not have the ability to reliably fulfill the contract."
3. 800 %:
"Emergent has raised the government purchasing price of the anthrax vaccine by 800% since acquiring the drug in 1998"
I was as well - especially the anthrax vaccine but Dr Kadlec should retain counsel because he’s in it - up to his eyeballs. I felt that the research was worth publishing because the facts and data deserve as much sunlight as possible. It took me longer than I liked to feel comfortable with my research to publish my findings
