Pfizer will list its COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid at a price of $1,390 per five-day course when it soon hits the commercial market, the drugmaker confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: Paxlovid’s new listed price, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, will be more than twice the $529 paid by the federal government, which until now has maintained the entire U.S. supply of the key antiviral medication.
Weren’t the vaccines mostly paid for by the government?
I did not pay a cent. Got 3 shots.
you pay taxes though, do you not?
Yeah. I forgot that I live not in US.
If the government paid, you paid through taxes, you just didn’t pay at the counter when you got them.
Yes we all know how money works but thanks.
Apparently not.
You weren’t the person who said they didn’t pay in response to a comment about government paying so I have no idea what the point of your comment is other than “I am smart and I want to passively put you down.”
Everyone knows their taxes pay for the government dude.
Also I didn’t pay for my COVID shot cause I got it in a country I don’t pay taxes in haha
Just like nationalized healthcare.
