This looks like stock manipulation:
On February 10, Trump's FDA oddly declined to review Moderna's new flu vaccine. The stock then dropped from 37.95 to 32.22.
Then Moderna announced that this surprising move was "inconsistent with previous written communications" with the FDA, and they were now sorting this out. News then broke that the FDA would now review the vaccine, and sure enough, the stock is now back up.
If someone wanted to earn big on trading Moderna, this is what they would do.

@randahl I hope someone reaches 110 years and has enough time to spend around 30 years in prison.

@randahl Maybe. Other plausible explanations include infighting at the FDA (which has been reported in other contexts, too), and a strategic retreat after severe blowback, like Trump is doing in Minnesota. And the company wisely gave them a plausible justification to recalibrate. While it's tempting, and far from irrational, to attribute everything this administration does to greed and malice, sometimes it's just pettiness and ineptitude.

A more likely explanation is Trump's regime using regulatory bodies to extract bribes... ahem... campaign finance from corporations
Trump believes the government's role is extracting rents & concessions from the economy, otherwise he'll hold up approvals
He did it with TikTok with a billionaire bidding war
