German company CureVac has received a rather strange offer from the current White House.
On March 3, CureVac's CEO was invited to the White House, for a meeting with President Trump, Vice Pence and several members of the Coronavirus Task Force. Asked for when a vaccine could be ready, he estimated that a potential candidate could be ready within a few months. Apparently, that triggered the members of the meeting so much, that they've now offered to buy the company, at whatever price.
One condition though: production would be exclusively for the United States.
The move is not exactly one to gain popularity, and follows on the heels of the President's worrying statement that "a large number of new clusters in the United States were seeded by travelers from Europe".

Or, perhaps people understand that testifying to something you observed IS evidence despite your many, many, claims otherwise.

Well, they are wrong. Witness testimony is proven to be unreliable. Especially from people with heavy biases. They were just trying to keep their jobs. Minions trash talking the boss. They are liars! That is why your little circus went nowhere. It was the designated distraction away from Party corruption. Worked like a charm! Now they hold the country hostage with their *Either us or Trump* campaign.
Real whistleblowers are willing to make sacrifices, theirs jobs, their lives. These people are just cowards angry about losing the election.
