I too wanted to talk about the vaccines. It seems like we did pretty well. Both of the vaccines that seem to be effective are in our portfolio. I would note that we've ordered 20 million doses of Pfizer and 56 million doses of Moderna. Given that it takes two doses of each to vaccinate somebody, I calculate that we've ordered 38 million doses. Given that our population is 35 million, I'd say that somebody did really well there. The Conservatives may say that even a broken clock is right twice a day, but we Liberals know that it was our natural brilliance. Someone made a pretty good call there.
I have a couple of questions about the vaccine and the authorization process. These vaccines haven't been authorized yet. Every country in the world is in the same boat on this. Certainly, there's the FDA in the United States, there are United Kingdom regulators and there's the EU. We're all looking at the same data and making decisions on authorization and coming to a conclusion as to whether or not to authorize it. Is this decision made in conjunction with other comparable agencies around the world? Will this, as I would think it should, lead to an expedited conclusion and approval process? That's the first question.
I want to get my second question in. This may be part of contract details that our government does not want to reveal, but there are obviously a lot of countries that want to get these vaccines as soon as possible. Are there details in the contract or in the agreement with the companies as to an order by which countries will receive the doses, or is it purely based on a contractual basis, in that you've agreed on so many vaccines by so many days? Or is it according to countries, and certain countries like the United States can get a hold of the first doses? That question is for anyone.
