Moderna CEO Said He Knew in 2019 a Lucrative Pandemic Would Happen

During the January 18 World Economic Forum (WEF) panel State of the Pandemic at Davos 2023, Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel said, “When the [COVID] pandemic happened, Moderna had made a hundred thousand doses in 2019 for the whole year. And I remember walking after those into the office of my other manufacturing and I say, ‘How we make [sic] a billion dollars next year?’ And they look at me a bit funny and say, ‘What?’ And I say, ‘Yeah, we need to make a billion dollars next year, there’s going to be a pandemic.’”

A very strange remark, yes? We know that Moderna was already working on a vaccine for COVID-19 before the virus was officially named, because Bancel also said that at Davos 2023. But for what was Moderna making a hundred thousand doses, when Moderna had no licensed product before the COVID vaccine? And how did Bancel know there was going to be a pandemic when he supposedly found out about COVID only in January 2020, and why would he have been excited about the prospect of a death-dealing disease of any sort?

Moderna, and Bancel, owe the world some answers.
