Cytodyn being very careful about taking OWS money and rightfully so. Having only one drug, Cytodyn could be giving up the house (leronlimab IP) if it is conceived in any way that the US government helped fund the R&D.
"Normally, contracts for federal funding toward the development of a drug or vaccine include Bayh-Dole rights, allowing the government to "march in" and take over a drug or vaccine if the manufacturer that received federal funding can't or won't make its product on reasonable terms.
