Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful.

Oh stop. The government should be running the pharaceutical industry then, not private companies.

Stop simping for evil corporations that don't give a shit about you.

Reading comprehension is tough I know. I indeed believe essential services including medical research should be government run.

But since that is not the case right now you can't expect companies to operate on a non profit basis. If stating obvious facts is simping then I guess you can call me a simp.
