Thanks for your response, this is becoming an interesting conversation.
1. a - well, I am not an expert in this, but I know for certain that developing a molecule in a lab in small quantities and creating a process for producing hectolitres of it are two very different processes requiring two very different mindsets (research scientist vs. process engineer). Personally (as I have quite some experience with academia), I highly doubt 95% of scientists are well positioned to execute that engineering task.
2. b - nonprofit: well, we don't know the details of course. Non-profit might simlply mean that AZ will recover its costs and will get all the benefit of positive press from it (not a negligible value!)
3. c - there's a saying: "he gives twice who gives quickly". And I think it's very relevant in this pandemic.
4. d - see 3/c.
