Bernie Sanders is Sounding the Alarm About Covid Vaccine Price Hikes.
The greed of pharmaceutical companies knows no bounds.
If we’re all being honest with ourselves, we’ve known this was coming.
According to reports, Moderna is considering raising the price of it’s Covid-19 vaccine from $26 a dose, to a staggering $130 a dose.
Spencer Kimball with CNBC writes:
“…Bancel told The Wall Street Journal on Monday that Moderna is considering a price in the range of $110 to $130 per Covid vaccine dose when the shots are sold on the commercial market. The federal government, which has handled procurement and distribution of the vaccines during the emergency phase of the pandemic, currently pays about $26 per vaccine dose.
“I find your decision particularly offensive given the fact that the vaccine was jointly developed in partnership with scientists from the National Institutes of Health, a U.S. government agency that is funded by U.S. taxpayers,” Sanders wrote to Bancel.
Bancel told the Journal that he thought the price is consistent with the vaccine’s value. Pfizer is also considering raising the price of its Covid vaccine to $110 to $130 per dose…”
