Fact checkers deny Fauci or NIH employees will personally benefit from the Moderna vaccine.The NIH does hold a substantial amount of the vaccine rights.

If you are a Moderna stockholder you should question the real value of your stock if the NIH can license the rights to the vaccine to anyone it wants any where in the world for any price which is my inference from the last statement , but that may not be entirely correct.

NIH added that "federal employees listed as inventors on these patent applications assigned their rights to the U.S. government. Accordingly, should the [United States Patent and Trademark Office] and other national patent authorities grant the patents, the U.S. government will hold ownership interest in the patents."

Rizvi said co-owning the vaccine could allow NIH to more broadly license the underlying technology to other vaccine manufacturers "without the consent of Moderna," a company that is valued at $25 billion despite having no federally approved drugs on the market.
