What I would find interesting to know if people would trust more a vaccine from their government (for example the CDC) or a private vaccine maker that has immunity and wants to make a profit? Also how this differs from country to country.

The CDC holds patents for vaccines.

I thought it was NIH, they are usually entitled to a percentage, if not half, of the royalties on all vaccines.
