It took them more time - 13 months - to finally test a FDA approved cholesterol drug than it took to manufacture and test a completely novel mRNA vaccine.
I still do not understand what the cost of the Pfizer vaccine is.
Medicare says $144 per shot. Many other sources say just $20.
In any event, they can mail you the cholesterol drug. The shot takes an entire clinic!
A while ago I read that 2 Pfizer were $35, and 2 Moderna were $25, J&J $10 or $15, and AstraZenica around $4. Of course Pfizer and Moderna need extreme cold. The difference may be costs for the medicine versus medicine plus medical service. For example $144 might be what an HMO can charge for treating their members.
By way of comparison, the costs of medication for the original Dr. Zelenko 3 part protocol was $20 for a 5 day treatment course. On the other hand, once the White House including Dr. Fauci had thoroughly confused the Zelenko information, Dr. Fauci was pushing for Remdesivir, at around $3,000 to insurance providers for a course of treatment. You think the Big Pharma/Health Complex will supersede the Military/Industrial Complex???
