Ya, OK, but you left out the most important 'alphabet agency' of all - in terms of PHS -HHS entities.

"BARDA plays a unique and unusual role within the structure of the US Federal Government, assisting in getting drugs, deemed essential during public health emergencies including attacks compromising US national security, to market."

A Trojan Horse, purposefully created within the PHS so as to have a pipeline between taxpayer $ and the usual "philanthropist" caste who enjoy 'special privilege' in pork troughing disguised as "public/private partnership!"

"Such assistance ranges from direct funding, procuring and stockpiling medical countermeasures (MCM’s), to helping obtain US FDA approvals, including Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) if needed. By the rare nature of such public health emergencies, the required therapies or countermeasures, while critical during the emergency, may not constitute a financially viable or profitable investment, for sufficiently large pharmaceutical companies."(lol!)

Last paragraph is especially mirthful...

"Such gaps in the US government medical countermeasures infrastructure have been described as "bridging the valley of death".In this respect, BARDA provides services similar to those offered by venture capitalists or business accelerators in private industry, although BARDA takes no financial stake in the final product once approved by the FDA."

given the similarity in function described to the 'bridging mechanisms' by which CIA/PEEP state/PhonyPhilanthropistsINC. 'fund' startups for DARPA et al and spin em off when ready.

Nothing says 'off the books BLACK BUDGET' like "business accelerator" gator!

Mary Carter Paints was a CIA cut out which got 'spun off' to a dupe cut out name o Don T Drimpf once the unpleasant aroma of state/lansky maifya 'public-private partnership' got too strong even for Jerry Ford to shuffleboard! Don got a money-losing casino out of the deal, and 'made-man' status with the peeps who count!
