"2020 has been one of the most eventful years in recent history, with the coronavirus pandemic having the most impact on the way the year unfolded.
While the pandemic is still ongoing and billions around the world continue to lead their lives under the new reality created by the virus, the end of the pandemic is finally in sight, albeit still distant, and pharma stocks are now generating extreme interest among investors".
You'll make a MOTZA!

LOL if I invest it will be in something which won 't be looked back upon in years to come like Hitler, Amin, Stalin and Pot are.
I may put my little bit of extra money into Merck. They may emerge from this looking like they cared.
Anyway. for short to medium term investment is probably it is a good financial move.

Money always greases the wheels.

Pharma is showering Congress with cash, even as drug makers race to fight the coronavirus
WASHINGTON — The world’s biggest drug makers and their trade groups have cut checks to 356 lawmakers ahead of this year’s election — more than two-thirds of the sitting members of Congress, according to a new STAT analysis.
It’s a barrage of contributions that accounts for roughly $11 million in campaign giving, distributed via roughly 4,500 checks from the political action committees affiliated with the companies.
The spending follows a long tradition of generous political giving. Major manufacturers typically make hundreds of modest donations to incumbent members of Congress but avoid donating to presidential candidates, seeing little utility in placing presidential bets.

More grease to keep it all turning nice.

Now why would you say something like that?
Merck is a Phaarma that is going another route rather than the one that injects something straight into the blood stream of human.

We don't inject fluoride or statins into our bloodstreams either.

I don't you don't, doctors don't - even druggies don't, as far as I know.

Just a question [to anyone] -
Should the unthinkable happen and the vaccine be proven to cause a death or deaths in otherwise healthy people, could a wrongful death suit be launched against them ? and how would that affect shareholders ?
I know everyone keeps saying that the correct protocols have been followed, and that it HAS to be rushed but with all precautions still taken, but seriously - expediting and taking correct steps seem to be a bit of an 'unlikely fit' to me.
