Theyre not a charity. They're a business. Its ridiculous they didn't realise this in the first place but its not surprising that they want to charge for each dose. They invested billions to produce it so they expect a return. If they didn't then why would they invest in the first place? Whether you like it or not, if there is gonna be a cure for parkinsons, it'll likely come from big pharma

They are not a charity, Yes, that's true. However, I am disappointed that there is not even a semblance of altruism or societal good will. Pfzier didn't discover the anomaly. Some front line Pharmacists did because they had what fortuitously turned out to be the best efficiency syringes. In their altruistic exhilaration, they advertised their so called lucky find that gave us hope that more people could be vaccinated quickly. But, the Pfzier people were very clever. It is hard to believe that they sold the vaccine by the dose and not the vial and don't tell me that they did that by accident.

Pfzier turned it around and punished the government, that means the taxpayers are on the hook for the difference. That means that you and I are on the hook. I'm assuming that you are in the USA, if not, oh well. 😅

If they distributed the vaccine in prefilled syringes, the process would move faster and they would be unable to change the billing like this.

Disgusting. The pharmaceutical companies are expecting to make billions from this. You would think that in a pandemic, they would not be squeezing out even more.

A large chunk of this vaccine research was paid for by us ( taxes).

“The government has poured an additional $10.5 billion into vaccine companies since the pandemic began to accelerate the delivery of their products.”

Good article on this:
