The vaccine business alone was responsible for more than 60% of the company's sales, as vaccine revenue rose to $14.6 billion from only $1.7 billion a year earlier. The company said its Covid vaccine sales accounted for $13 billion of that revenue. Revenue outside of its Covid vaccine business was up a far more modest 7%.

- spurgu 5y agoYeah I don't get it. At which point did Big Pharma become the good guys, with zero ulterior motives and zero regards for profit? Always having the public's best interest in mind. This is a weird timeline.
- beervirus 5y agoThe profit motive is what created the vaccines. It’s fine.
- thehappypm 5y agoYou called it “rent”. Rent is something an individual pays. If everyone needs to pay Pfizer a $20 “rent” to not die of COVID I don’t see that as some horrible evil.
