The group works with both military and civilian professionals to develop products for both existing and potential threats. The organization's infectious disease branch was the <a href=\"https://laohu8.com/S/AONE\">one</a> that took on the COVID challenge 15 months ago.</p>\n<p>The team's goal was to develop a drug that would inoculate recipients against all coronaviruses. To do it, they would have to come up with a different approach. The currently authorized vaccines feed instructions to the cells so they can make the famed spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.

So far, tests in thousands of mice and dozens of monkeys have shown the drug to be effective against variants of the current virus, as well as other coronaviruses like SARS-1. Even better, the Army's development process prioritized practicality, so the vaccine doesn't need any special handling.

The guaranteed government contracts they signed were a major reason they made the investments required to get a vaccine in less than a year. While Johnson &amp; Johnson is expecting about $8.5 billion more in total revenue this year, Moderna and Pfizer expect $18.4 billion and $15 billion in COVID-19 vaccine sales, respectively.</p>\n<p>Analysts predict that continued spread and mutations will keep demand high for the jabs. Some estimates show the market tapering off from $75 billion this year to $23 billion next year, gradually reaching about $6 billion in 2025. That's an enormous financial opportunity that would be in serious doubt if the U.S. government developed an all-encompassing vaccine of its own.</p>\n<h3>America, Inc.</h3>\n<p>The U.S. government poured more than $10 billion into vaccine development as the pandemic took hold last year. That funding was just the latest contribution stretching back decades. Federally funded work that originated at Vanderbilt University and was continued at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Department of Defense led to the viral protein design used by Moderna and Pfizer. Related research published in 2013 and 2016 set the stage for creating the vaccine. In fact, Moderna's COVID vaccine came directly from a partnership with the same NIH mentioned above. Modifying RNA, the other trick that made these vaccines possible, was the work of an unheralded researcher at the University of Pennsylvania, Katalin Karikó.

It does make it less surprising that a small government group may have created a vaccine to end the war with coronaviruses once and for all. If it works, it's hard to say who would benefit from the manufacture and distribution of a pan-SARS vaccine. Analyst estimates for years of vaccine profits would almost certainly get slashed, as would the stock price of any company presuming the bounty.</p>\n<p>One benefit of government-led research would be the absence of misleading press releases, massive stock sales, special options grants, and retroactive bonus plans like the ones that were so hotly debated last year.
