If you have a better solution, there are literally billions of dollars up for grabs.

While parts of the pharma industry have definitely done shady things, the real reason we don't have a durable "cure" for many conditions is actually because the underlying biology is absurdly complex.

It's a little late for that. Phizer has already taken all those billions of dollars.

Not sure the government can afford to hand out a few more billion without making inflation even worse

A few billion isn't going to have any impact on inflation that is worth worrying about if there is real headway made on COVID. It's the trillions that are probably worth worrying about.
