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.

    That is a fact. 80 years of screaming “FREEDOOOOM!!!” was a goddamn baldfaced lie. Glad the world is seeing it finally.

      “The world is seeing it”? Did you think the world didn’t see it?

      It’s the US that needs to see it.

    It’s not a matter of thinking like that. It’s the truth of what happens. I didn’t say I’m ok with the system.
