<<<<<<< Vaccines for covid were approved under emergency authorizations and were (almost certainly) not influenced by lobbying. >>>>>>>
Inside the powerful political machines that COVID-19 vaccine makers Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca have built in DC Business Insider Dec 8, 2020
Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Moderna have been developing more than just a vaccine to stop the spread of the coronavirus.
The pharmaceutical companies have also been building notable political influence in Washington as they seek to sway federal policy and spending in their favor.
The companies have together hired an army of lobbyists and contributed millions of dollars to political causes during 2019 and 2020, according to an Insider analysis of federal lobbying, campaign finance, and other records.
Pfizer for instance is on pace to spend more than $11.3 million on federal-level lobbying efforts in 2020, which would rank among its highest annual totals during the past decade.
Emergency authorization of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines could come within days.
