I'm not sure. The deal with Pfizer is pretty similar to the deals with the other manufacturers, better even. Pre-purchasing 100 million doses with an option to buy 500 million more.
Moderna is 100 million pre-purchased with an option to buy 400 million more.
Johnson and Johnson has a deal for 100 million doses with the option to buy 200 million more.
Novavax is 100 million doses.
Sanofi's deal is very similar to Pfizer's with 100 million doses and an option to purchase 500 million more.
The big difference between Pfizer and others is that Pfizer didn't take any money to subsidize its vaccine research. They apparently did that to avoid any bureaucratic entanglement (also it gives them a freer hand with their vaccine at this point and they're cashing in).
Exactly. I wouldn't be surprised if Trump wanted to get something more than just the vaccines, like calling it the Trump Vaccine.
