According to Bloomberg July 2021

Which is something like almost 4 Million per hour.
Before we go on, let's first get to know just a bit about Pfizer

Pfizer’s Checkered History
Here’s a brief glimpse of Pfizer’s track record for safety and ethics. This is a short list, by no means inclusive of the company’s entire rap sheet.
-Pfizer received the biggest fine in U.S. history as part of a $2.3 Billion plea deal with federal prosecutors for mis-promoting medicines (Bextra, Celebrex) and paying kickbacks to compliant doctors. Pfizer pleaded guilty to mis-branding the painkiller Bextra by promoting the drug for uses for which it was not approved.
-In the 1990s, Pfizer was involved in defective heart valves that lead to the deaths of more than 100 people. Pfizer had deliberately misled regulators about the hazards. The company agreed to pay $10.75 Million to settle justice department charges for misleading regulators.
-Pfizer paid more than $60 Million to settle a lawsuit over Rezulin, a diabetes medication that caused patients to die from acute liver failure.
-In the UK, Pfizer has been fined nearly €90 Million for overcharging the NHS, the National Health Service. Pfizxer charged the taxpayer an additional €48 Million per year for what should have cost €2 million per year.
-Pfizer agreed to pay $430 Million in 2004 to settle criminal charges that it had bribed doctors to prescribe its epilepsy drug Neurontin for indications for which it was not approved.
-In 2011, a jury found Pfizer committed racketeering fraud in its marketing of the drug Neurontin. Pfizer agreed to pay $142.1 Million to settle the charges.
-Pfizer disclosed that it had paid nearly nearly 4,500 doctors and other medical professionals some $20 Million for speaking on Pfizer’s behalf.
-In 2012, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission announced that it had reached a $45 Million settlement with Pfizer to resolve charges that its subsidiaries had bribed overseas doctors and other healthcare professionals to increase foreign sales.
-Pfizer was sued in a U.S. federal court for using Nigerian children as human guinea pigs, without the childrens’ parents’ consent. Pfizer paid $75 Million to settle in Nigerian court for using an experimental antibiotic, Trovan, on the children. The company paid an additional undisclosed amount in the U.S. to settle charges here. Pfizer had violated international law, including the Nuremberg Convention established after WWII, due to Nazi experiments on unwilling prisoners.
-Amid widespread criticism of gouging poor countries for drugs, Pfizer pledged to give $50 million for an AIDS drug to South Africa. Later, however, Pfizer failed to honor that promise.

Keep in mind that you nor I can sue Pfizer or Moderna or J&J or AstraZeneca any other approved vaccine maker/company.
Why you ask ?
Cause you just can't !
If you ask the companies and governments thou, they would have you think it is so they (the companies) can continue with their life saving work. If they were to be sued every time their vaccine harmed or killed someone, then it would become an atmosphere that they just could not continue their life saving work in.
I think it was in the 1980's sometime that the government(s) made it impossible to sue these companies.
In any other past vaccine trials and testing, if there were any deaths recorded during the testing or trials then all trials would immediately cease.
But that is not the case now. Many have died and/or suffer adverse effects.
Okay back to the money....

is also the primary funder of the Pharma and vaccine maker Moderna.
And un-benounced and most certainly surprising to hear,
this is a vaccine that was sent to University researchers weeks before the emergence
was seen of Covid-19 in Wuhan, China.
Berkshire recently bought up large amounts of shares in Big Pharma companies such as Abbive, Merck, Pfizer and Bristol Myers Squibb.
Warren said himself that the reasons why he bought into Big Pharma
was partly because of the relative bargains and that they were 'cash cows'

Billions and millions and millions involved.
I do have my suspicions
*note
I have not included any links of the sources to all of this,
but it is not difficult to find the sources online for yourselves, simply just follow the money
Numbers or facts seen here, may have changed since the time of the start of this research,
but be sure there would not have been much changes.
The rich and powerful do not loose their way so easily
But I do think Buffet did some more changes thou, not sure why thou.
I think it had to do with his holdings with Gates.
C/P
Vanguard was founded by John C. Bogle as part of the Wellington Management Company.
Bogle earned his degree from Princeton University.
The fund grew out of a bad decision Bogle made on a merger.
Bogle was removed as the head of the group, but he was still allowed to start a new fund.
The main stipulation of allowing Bogle to start the new fund was that it could not be actively managed.
Due to this limitation, Bogle decided to start a passive fund that tracked the S&P 500.
Bogle named the fund "Vanguard" after a British ship.
The first new fund launched in 1975
John Bogle was the founder of the Vanguard Group and a major proponent of index investing.
Commonly referred to as "Jack," Bogle revolutionized the mutual fund world by creating index investing,
which allows investors to buy mutual funds that track the broader market.
He did this with the overall intent to make investing easier and at a low cost for the average investor.
Vanguard has a fairly unique structure in terms of investment management companies.
The company is owned by its funds. The company’s different funds are then owned by the shareholders.
Thus, the shareholders are the true owners of Vanguard. The company has no outside investors other than its shareholders.
Most of the major investment firms are publicly traded.
Vanguard's structure allows the company to charge very low expenses for its funds.
Due to its scope of size, the company has been able to reduce its expenses over the years.
The average expense ratio for Vanguard funds was 0.89% in 1975. That number stands at 0.09% in 2021.
Some experts believe Vanguard’s structure allows it to avoid conflicts of interest that are present at other investment management firms.
Publicly traded investment management firms must cater to their shareholders and the investors in their funds.
Key Takeaways
Vanguard Group is the second-largest investment firm in the world, after BlackRock.
It is the biggest issuer of mutual funds worldwide and the second-biggest issuer of ETFs.
The company is unusual in the fund world in that it is owned by its different funds,
which are in turn owned by the company's shareholders.
The company has no other owners than its shareholders, which sets it apart from most publicly-traded investment firms.
