I always chuckle at conspiracy theories about covid. Particularly the one about the government having a hand in pharmas pocket.
The reason the government care so much is covid heavily affects the health industry functioning, like hospitals, which they are responsible to make sure ppl have access to. Im sure less people dying from covid is a concern, but mostly it's about the publics access to healthcare for anything, not just covid being affected. The healthcare system is a primary concern of any government. Their biggest fear will be the healthcare system being overloaded and ppl dying because they can't get care. Btw I work in the health care industry.
Critics say newly released emails show the government was slow to react to the drug company’s offers of doses. Officials defend their response.

The Australian government’s approach to securing
Covid vaccines has come under scrutiny again after it released documents detailing the early stages of talks with the drug maker Pfizer.
Internal government emails,
released in response to a Freedom of Information request by an opposition party politician, show that a Pfizer Australia representative wrote to the Australian minister of health, Greg Hunt, in late June last year to request a meeting.
The Pfizer representative wrote that the pharmaceutical giant had “the potential to supply millions of vaccine doses by the end of 2020.”
The request was passed to a senior official, a first assistant secretary of the health department, who met with Pfizer the following month. Subsequent emails show that Pfizer had asked the Australian government to sign a confidential disclosure agreement, which the official said was “not usual practice” for the government.
The exchange occurred around the same time that the U.S. and British governments were finalizing multibillion-dollar deals with Pfizer to secure access to large numbers of vaccine doses. That month, Britain bought 30 million doses and the United States 100 million.
Pfizer has power to 'silence' governments and 'maximize profits', consumer group alleges
Under secretive contracts, pharmaceutical company Pfizer has the power to block countries from donating their COVID-19 vaccines to other nations, and can demand that governments put up their public assets as collateral.
