I have no problem with asking them to lower their prices, but does anyone know what it actually cost Pfizer to actually produce, package, and ship? I would assume with the amount of money attributed to this product that initial investment/research costs are paid but is there room in current charges to cover new research into the same? Plus if heavily discounted it would be an expectation that someone else would see an increased price to cover for the discount another has received; unless of course we are looking for Pfizer to offset the cost of this particular drug by charging other drug users higher prices of obfuscate the discounts impact.
When it comes down to it I am more against using children as pawns to make political statements. If the other drug is more cost effective then people should just skip the Pfizer drug until they in turn adjust pricing for the market.

They specifically mention that a competitor (GSK) has lowered their prices for the same vaccine, so presumably they'll use that instead until Pfizer lowers the price, exactly as you're suggesting.
