Why shouldn’t they be allowed to make a profit?

There are a lot people involved in the production of these drugs. Most if not all have families to provide for. Should they not get paid?

I don't know many businesses that sell things at cost and if they do they won't be in business for very long.

What’s the problem here?

Also, how are you to quantify R&D?

If anyone thought otherwise they are living in a delusion. Drug companies don't give stuff away out of the goodness of their heart.

Once all the MSB Antifa members that are currently on the Election board drift over here, he will find some more people who disagree with the profit incentive.

I don't see the problem here. Did they sign a contract with the government when they got the money saying they couldn't make a profit on it? Was there an agreement to pay any of the government money back? I'm sure everyone involved with bringing this vaccine to market has been working their asses off since the beginning of this year and the profit the company is gonna make is their reward for that work.

I don't see the issue when you're talking about roughly $30 a vaccine.

Now, if they were charging thousands a shot that would be a bad look.

Would they have rushed to make a vaccine if there was no financial incentive?

My only problem is if other countries pay less which is what usually happens. We subsidize all these other countries’s Single Payor Systems.
