Sick people are far far more profitable than those few bucks for vaccines. If you add long covid then pharma is missing out on a goldmine.


dude, big pharma has been handed a blank check from the government to produce a recurring product that is legally mandated for the entire populace to use. This is the sweetest deal in all of history for them.


The vaccine is $20 a head, that doesn't even get you a tissue if you were hospitalized.


Big pharma is not hospitals.


and exempt from product liability.

2x sweet.


For the entire healthcare sector? Maybe.

For pharmaceutical companies? In comparison to a liability-free, recurring subscription, mandated by the federal government for hundreds of millions? Not so much.
