\""Total spending directly on COVID-19's health impacts ranges from \$100 billion to \$160 billion," fact-checker Jon Greenberg writes. "At the high end, direct COVID-19 spending represents about 8.5% of the bill's \$1.9 trillion cost."\
\
Of the bill's nearly \$2 trillion in spending, PolitiFact reports that just \$14 to \$20 billion goes to vaccine distribution and vaccine-related efforts. This is a tiny fraction, a mere 1-2 percent. Overall, the spending that actually goes to health-related matters pales in comparison to the hundreds of billions doled out for partisan priorities. \"\
