Eli Lilly & Co. is buying three clinical-stage vaccine developers for as much as $3.8 billion, leveraging its obesity-fueled dominance to establish itself as a leader in other areas and become a major player in infectious diseases. The agreements with Curevo, LimmaTech Biologics and Vaccine Company give Lilly access to novel technology and experimental immunizations for shingles, common bacterial pathogens and Epstein-Barr virus, according to a statement on Tuesday. “These acquisitions reflect a deliberate strategy to prevent disease at its source rather than treat its consequences,” Dan Skovronsky, Lilly’s chief scientific and product officer, said in a statement. Bloomberg News Health Reporter, Madison Muller, joins Paul Sweeney and Alexis Christoforous on "Bloomberg Intelligence" to analyze what's next for Eli Lilly after agreeing to buy three vaccine developers.
