Thank you for that clarification - your wit is matched by your coherence.

Just to be clear, the USA Defense Production Act allows the US Government to to allocate materials, services and facilities to promote national defense; it also authorizes the president to control the civilian economy so that scarce and critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs - I'm pretty sure that data that could be used to create a vaccine comes under that heading, and the data from your effort is being managed in the USA.
