Pfizer will list its COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid at a price of $1,390 per five-day course when it soon hits the commercial market, the drugmaker confirmed to Axios.
Why it matters: Paxlovid’s new listed price, first reported by the Wall Street Journal, will be more than twice the $529 paid by the federal government, which until now has maintained the entire U.S. supply of the key antiviral medication.
it’s criminal on a human level, not a law level. idgaf about gouging laws. charging $1400 for something that can be lifesaving is fucking criminal. especially when it’s more than DOUBLE what the govt was paying for it. If you want to know how much a human life is worth to these fucks, start here.
Well I wish morality equaled legality, but sadly the two are separate. It’s disgusting, abhorring, incorrigible, foul, etc. But its legality is dependent on the regional laws.
