CORRUPTION NOT AN IMPEDIMENT TO U.S. FUNDING FOR COVID-19 VACCINES
One of the companies racing to make a coronavirus vaccine is Johnson & Johnson (J&J). Benefiting from substantial
funding from the U.S. Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), J&J has committed to spend-
ing one billion dollars to create a SARS-CoV-2 vaccine. The U.S. government is willing to partner with J&J despite the
