Im intrigued, so Astra stumps up 100 million dollars for the trial and the trial works perfectly. This turns out to be a game changer and every drug manufacturer on the planet wants some of this action...

Then Astra says hey we want in on this drug, we're willing to buy this many/much over this many years.

Pfizer says the same thing, we will take as much as Astra buy for the same deal, and we didn't even have to pay for the trial.......... we took none of the risk and get the same deal....Moderna says yeah us to?

That is truly amazing?

Surely Astra gets some sort of handshake for stumping up 100 million?
