Comment on Pfizer plans to sell its Covid vaccine at a 10k% markup in 2023parent

Comments

Those were apparently grants, evidently coming with no long term contractual obligations. We needed a vaccine very quickly and we got it. I agree there needs to be balance, but are you wishing government agencies had delayed the process and spent time with lawyers working out a royalty agreements or otherwise handicapping Pfizer's development cost recovery? What if Pfizer spent all the money to develop the drug and it did not pan out?
