The companies giving this away at cost are obviously doing something good for the world. That's not my point.
I just find it odd that companies like Pfizer and Moderna are about to lift the world out of a catastrophe in unprecedented fashion, and we have people complaining about prices which are not overly high when compared to the benefit, even in the developing world. India's GDP in 2019 was almost 2.9 trillion and the virus has knocked 300 billion or more off that just this year. Even under your extreme example they aren't going to care about spending an "extra" 14 billion.
- jonplackett 6y agoI’m not complaining about the prices. I think they’ve done something amazing for sure. I just think the companies doing that same thing, and at cost are more amazing. Without the Oxford one, a lot of countries around the world would still be just as screwed as they are today. But don’t get me wrong I think what they all have done is amazing. And it makes me happy.
