Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine earned the company $3.5 billion in the first three months of this year, representing nearly a quarter of its total revenue, the company announced ahead of its earnings call Tuesday.

The drug company giant said it expects the vaccine to earn about $26 billion in total revenue for 2021, based on signed contracts as of mid-April that amount to 1.6 billion doses of the shot to be delivered this year.

The company's previous forecast was $15 billion for the year, but its first-quarter 2021 revenues alone totaled $14.6 billion, an increase of $4.5 billion, or 45 percent, compared to the first quarter of 2020. LINK

Not if you like government mandated lockdowns with vaccine requirements for release.

Sounds about right. They weren't going to develop a vaccine for free.

Unlike several other rival companies that developed COVID-19 vaccines, Pfizer did not use federal funds and said it planned to make a profit. Democratic lawmakers and drug pricing advocates have raised concerns about Pfizer’s decision, arguing it could lead to price-gouging after the initial pandemic period.

"Based on what we’ve seen, we believe that a durable demand for our COVID-19 vaccine – similar to that of the flu vaccines – is a likely outcome," Bourla said.

Paid for development by the government, then paid for the doses...
