there were studies a month or two ago comparing all of the major brands.
google has since scrubbed them all from the internet showing the original prices before subsidies.
i wonder why?
Pre subsidy price. Jesus christ, its an mRNA vaccine that requires a lab to produce. Its not gunna be fucking 15$ to make.
Literally everything out of a pharma company "requires a lab to produce". There are half a dozen major pharma manufacturers in my town and they all have laboratory campuses here that they hire scientists for.
Nice that you're adding a lie about google scrubbing results on top of your lie about vaccination prices.

Yeah, governments subsidised pharmaceutical companies to research and produce the vaccines, and I can certainly understand being against that. However, at this point, that is already lost money, and refusing to purchase doses isn’t going to get it back. So from the current standpoint, bringing in new vaccines is only in the $15-30/dose range..
Edit: I also think the US did little to fund the Pfizer mRNA vaccine and it was largely funded by the EU..
The U.S. incentivized development with a large pre-order, but didn't fund the actual vaccine development from Pfizer.
