This commentary highlights the scientific history of the NIH-Moderna COVID-19 vaccine and corroborates Sarpatwari's theme of private capture of value created by the public. The commentary also identifies missteps by the Trump and Biden Administrations and offers policy recommendations: better contracts with and incentives for pharmaceutical manufacturers and a not-for-profit "public option" for pharmaceutical development.
