Comment on 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.

I'll assume you know more about this than I do despite the lack of any citation.

I refuse to believe there's an ethically acceptable business justification for this ridiculous markup.

The entire healthcare industry in the US is built on a foundation of corporate greed. This is just one obvious example.
