“”have now negotiated a lower price””
From - To?
That’s a bargain, right? Don’t those three countries have the same healthcare system that the UK has? Wait - wait - and wait....?? It’s all incredible. I don’t think any pharmaceutical company in the world is going broke so why the gouge?
mRNA comes with a steep price tag — I say no.
Like BoT said, thats what Ive been thinking about.
Why would someone intentionally develop this? Maybe it was an accident on the way to inventing something else?
It doesnt make sense under usual circumstances.
When WHO accidentally and absolutely was not threatening everyone with Marburg we were having this conversation. Marburg, terrible thing, we should “just cure it.” Well why doesnt anyone just do that? Because there are only a small number of cases, often in difficult to get to places so the patient is dead shortly after anyone knows, and then who is going to pay for it? Dead people with no insurance cant pay for doses to reimburse development.
So why would any drug company intentionally put their time and money in this drug?
Who pays? Is it like liver transplants to ghetto rats? Everyone who has worked pays via taxes and increased healthcare costs and the recipients get it free? Or are the recipients only those children whose relatives can come up with the money?
