moderna is mostly produced in the u.s. is in talks with the government to look at potential local manufacturing opportunities here, but that also would take time potentially up to two years, because there is no local manufacturing capability in australia for mnra vaccines. shery: you mentioned the speed of the vaccine rollout in australia has been criticized for being too slow. are things improving? paul: very gradually. it is not getting worse, i will put it that way. almost 2.7 million doses administered to a population of just over 24 million. in the past week there has been 400,000 astrazeneca shots given to those over 50. a new batch of 350,000 pfizer vaccines arrived monday, that is being administered to 40 to 49-year-old. more are getting rolled out every day. the budgets yesterday had $1.9 million additional for the rollout. but the prime minister still being very coy about when the rollout will be complete. he continues to refuse to commit to a timeline or any petitions, but we have some hints around other informat

the better news, which i think is important for us all to understand, is that both pfizer and moderna because of the new vaccine types, the mrna,ight they pivot on a time and start thinking about how to tackle the new variants if they should co'' along and how they might improve the aeot of -- affect of the vs on them. >> speaking of pfizer and moderna, kurt wants to know in a tweet, ask the guest what the o profit margins are?on' what is the forecast of their tt profit margins for those two companies? >> i don't know. i think, kurt,nies tha have a l have a talk to the companies that public these.invest i don't follow that specifically but i do know something, that without the investment that those companies made, this country would still be shutdown. what would we be experiencing? let's not focus on did they make money out of it. what i hope they do. let's ask a different question. if they were not here what woule we be doing? don' we would have million' out of work.price of people who are old would be dying. we know that. we don't need to run that experiment, so what is the price of

the particular companies, moderna, pfizer, they were able to build on that information, then invested billions of dollars, not just in the research, but manufacturing. the u.s. government help them, but the bottom line is that the research is cumulative in many billions of dollars to begin with, and subsequently, the investments by private investors in either and/or moderna and biontech led to the mrna vaccines, and investment, j&j had been investing for years and knew how it could come to table with a similar vaccine. with regards to the loss of what it might mean for the top line of these companies, it is not clear, because october last year, moderna said they would be willing to waive patents, license, and provide vaccines to others. it is not at all clear what they lose in the long term. in the short term, the industry suffers because what happens is people lose confidence that their investments in other companies, cancer companies, diabetes companies, where they are making novel breakthroughs of the same time we see here that have occurred during the pandemic, investor take a dou
