Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce.
That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.
I’m personally of the opinion that all medical research should be tax funded. But given our current situation, if you tell these companies to ‘eat the loss’ they will simply stop producing new medicines.
Reading comprehension is tough I know. I indeed believe essential services including medical research should be government run.
But since that is not the case right now you can’t expect companies to operate on a non profit basis. If stating obvious facts is simping then I guess you can call me a simp.
Lol scratch a simp and a fascist bleeds. But we all knew who you really are and what you’re all about.
You can go ahead and get the last word if you feel the overwhelming need to satisfy your anger by winning an argument against me on the internet. I’m sure all of those weeping pharma CEOs will praise their thanks for your service.
Pharma companies spend a majority of their time trying to make new unique drugs, they just fail most of the time. The ones that succeed tend to be ones that are similar to ones that succeeded in the last, which is why you get multiple drugs in the same class, but it’s not all they do. For example, we’ve essentially cured some types of cystic fibrosis, and there’s an effective vaccine for malaria now - all developed in the last 10 years.
I don’t want to pretend that the big pharma companies aren’t evil, but they do have incentives that align with improving human health.

Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.
Stop simping for evil corporations that don’t give a shit about you.

Jesus christ do you talk to every one this way? No wonder no one listens to the left.

If all you do is scream insults at people no one will be inclined to listen to you. Have a good life. Try to touch some grass once in a while.
Oh no, whatever will we do if old dudes can’t have 6 different types of boner pills?

It’s real easy to sit on the sidelines and spew hate. Not much of a life though.
