You could have made $49 million per year since Jesus was born and still not make the profits Pfizer did last year.
Pfizer made a record $100 billion in 2022, almost $57 billion of which was from its #COVID-19 vaccine and Paxlovid.
Yet they still want to charge people $130 per dose, and refuse to share vaccines and treatments with the world.
costrike@luckytran Nationalize it.

One of my favourite factoids is this:
A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
Puts it well into perspective.

DIABOLICAL especially given at least 90% of R&D funds came from US Government & EU PLUS ALL the start up costs being borne by #WarpSpeed taxpayer billions!
#covid #Pfizer #CorporateGreed
They were also distributed free of charge by US States without any cost to Pfizer.
These #vaccines should be public common goods free to all in USA forever!
Z O R A N G R B I C@paul_briley @luckytran Well, US *and* EU.

Ponygirl@luckytran And we paid for the R & D. We're such suckers!!
Mike OBrien@luckytran Pfizer and Moderna are defending their price increase of Covid vaccines - from about $20 to about $120 - by saying the price โis consistent with the value deliveredโ or in other words, itโs the price they feel they can get away with because the vaccines are so crucial to the well being of much of the planet.
According to an analysis by Oxfam, the mRNA vaccines could be produced for as little as $1.18 to $2.85 per dose.

Trump's "Operation Warp Speed" was what allowed the fu*king scallywag-money-wallet-draining "private sector" to make a buck off of what should've been a human right.
The right-wing should be subject to fire and brimstone if THIS is what they can cause, ripping us lower-class people off just so their wealthy sky-sugar-parents can bilk a measly cent.
MJ Muse@luckytran Corrupt lawmakers allow big pharm to rip us off. They are complicit.
