One of the few saving Graces of this whole thing, is that I know deep down Trump is going to turn on this guy. There's no way he keeps him around. He served his purpose and now he's going to dump him.
A lot of Mr brain worms plans would seriously cut into the profits of major pharmaceuticals and agricultural behemoths that are major donors of Trump's campaign. I can't imagine them allowing trump to cut into their profits like that.
I'm not sure that vaccines are actually profitable without subsidies. They'd probably rather milk their cash cows like price-gouged insulin and trendy medications like ozempic.
Afaik profit is profit whether it's from subsidies or sales. On top of that, the government gave them grants to develop said vaccines, so r&d was highly discounted... Production of most vaccines as way cheap compared to r&d, so I doubt there is ever any "selling for a loss". Combine that with state mandates requiring kids to get vaccines before attending school (I'm not saying this is bad... Public health is a good thing), and you have a captive customer base.

Yeah, that's not how the dynamic between business and government works under fascism. I would advise you to read about Germany and Italy in the late 1930s/early 1940s
Ironically that is trumptards only saving grace. He’s so nacissistic and disloyal he discards his sycophant followers when they are no longer useful.
I look for Trump to turn on everyone. It's the only thing he's consistently done his entire life.
