    And let’s not forget that a great deal of the research is already publicly-funded.

    I still don’t understand how Covid vaccines are suddenly allowed to cost a fuck ton of money. Enough public money was thrown at those things to buy entire nations - why the fuck isn’t it owned by the public.

      That one is especially ludicrous. It’s mitigating a pandemic (or I guess endemic at this point) illness! It should be manufactured at cost.
