Of course, Bourla claims that the announcement has nothing to do with politics. Well, he’s half right, it has more to do with money than politics. Think of all the money Pfizer is going to get from a potential Biden Administration to make the vaccine available for free.

Very large donations in U.S. presidential elections are directed toward super PACs (Political Action Committees), or hybrid PACs because of the $5,600 limit on how much an individual can give to a candidate's official campaign committee per election cycle.

Priorities USA Action, a liberal, hybrid PAC in its fifth election cycle, has received the most money of any pro-Biden, single-candidate organization.

Biden supporters may also give to joint fundraising committees set up for the presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee like the Biden Victory Fund and Biden Action Fund.
