If I recall, CHOP received around $150 million for the patent after deduction of various fees.
10% is payable to the inventors of the vaccine, of which there were three individuals, so Offit received about $5 million.
I don’t know who the others were.
It strikes me that $5 million is reasonable recompense for researching and developing a vaccine over a decade, one which has saved tens, if not hundreds of thousands of children’s lives.

I’ve listened to this episode. I found it fascinating. Thanks for the reminder. I also find it interesting how RFKjr refuses to have an interview with Dr. Paul Offit.
Not to sound conspiratorial, but whether knowingly and intentionally or not (I feel both to be true) RFKJ and that whole “movement” is a product of Russian/Right Wing support and logistics. Public Health degradation is / has always been a part of operations against opponents.
I get pushback routinely from Medical pros that fall back on the “never assign to malice to that which can be attributed to ignorance” (or equivalent).
For full irony, the Kennedy School discusses some of the mechanisms of these kind of operations in the attachment. Just search on Russian links to RFK Jr. Everything is pretty well documented, as was it prior to his Senate approval .
I’m sure once all this eventually blows up that he will be even more “deeply concerned”. 😑

No.
Offit is, frankly, beyond reproach
If anyone hasn’t seen the Malcolm Gladwell history on the petty
RFKJ motivations behind propaganda against Offit, it’s well worth a watch.

Meant to reference Senator Cassidy in the “deeply concerned” note
My phone routinely works to make me seem illiterate
