> This shit simply doesn't fly in Germany, it's so insane that no one would ever think about pricing life saving drugs that high A sizeable portion of my friends and coworkers managed to work the system to gain access to vaccines well before they otherwise would have. I'd strongly prefer the honest version of that system, wherein we wouldn't pretend that elites wouldn't cut the queue to finagle vaccines for themselves and their families. One option would have been setting aside ~5% of the total supply and putting it on the open market. I'd guess early doses would have gone for a few thousand dollars and we could have used the money to support vaccinations elsewhere.
