Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel defended the company's plans on Wednesday to raise the price of its COVID-19 vaccine fivefold once it shifts into the hands of the private market after the COVID-19 public health emergency ends, telling lawmakers that the increased price comes as they expect to see a reduction in demand for the vaccines.
Bancel justified the price hike by noting that the company expects to see a 90% reduction in demand for the COVID-19 vaccine when it moves to the commercial market, along with increased costs to provide single-dose vials, compared to the 10-dose vials the company has provided for the government.

Go ahead and raise the price. Only the terminally stupid would take another Covid shot.

A gram of Fentanyl is $150. Hmmm. I think fentanyl is safer.

Raise the price, but lets make sure people have to pay for the vaccine out of their own pocket, not mine.

As demand goes down the price goes up. Got to maintain the profit margin and keep those payments going to Fauxchi.

These people should be on trial for genocide.
I'm beginning to wonder if the Nuremberg trials happened only because the Nazis managed to inconvenience some of the old blood Elites during the Holocaust. That crime was not only about Jews.

A hundred thirty bucks?
Hold yer horses, Moderna: I won't get your shot unless you pay me at least fifty grand.

"Charge what the market will bear." In this case, what the government will pay.

#3, it will come out of your pocket if you have insurance. Premiums will go up. Insured people will still get the shot because they think it isn't coming out of their pocket.

Unfortunately most or all of the cost of this will be taken up by insurance. I wonder how many people would actually get the shot if they had to pay out of their own pocket for it?
Q: What sector of health care has actually shown a decrease in cost over the years?
A: Elective surgeries not covered by insurance.
So how does the government fix health care costs? Insurance for everybody!

According to Tucker Carlson last night on his program, Moderna currently has only has one product, the Covid vaccine. It was developed with the help of US taxpayer dollars, and the CEO is now a billionaire. I would like to better understand what kind of arrangements allow taxpayer dollars to flow to a private company, and what kind of arrangement is made, if any, to reimburse the taxpayers.
Tucker's Moderna discussion last night, can be seen on Twitter.

They could raise it to $13,000 a dose for all I care.... But most of the people that are stupid enough to still want to take the 'vaccine' are too stupid to earn that much money in a year.

Is anyone even getting the suicide shot anymore? Maybe Dr Kevorkian should be giving it out.

Between abortion, the vaccine, and drugs, it is kind of amazing that there are so many liberals in this country.

It's not clear to me who is paying for these 'free' shots anyhow. What is the mechanism? That's not fair ... I do know. It is the obligation of our children and grandchildren and the $$$ were conjured out of thin air! Houdini couldn't have done it better!
