Pharma is gonna be making some good money out of COVID, no? The amount of tests that have been produced, plus the amount of vaccines being used are certainly not free.
- Paradigma11 5y agoThey would be making a lot more money without the vaccines.
- erklik 5y agoHow's that?
- Paradigma11 5y agoSick people are far far more profitable than those few bucks for vaccines. If you add long covid then pharma is missing out on a goldmine.
- furgooswft13 5y agodude, big pharma has been handed a blank check from the government to produce a recurring product that is legally mandated for the entire populace to use. This is the sweetest deal in all of history for them.
- mrguyorama 5y agoThe vaccine is $20 a head, that doesn't even get you a tissue if you were hospitalized.
- errantmind 5y agoBig pharma is not hospitals.
- landemva 5y agoand exempt from product liability. 2x sweet.
- chitowneats 5y agoFor the entire healthcare sector? Maybe. For pharmaceutical companies? In comparison to a liability-free, recurring subscription, mandated by the federal government for hundreds of millions? Not so much.
