The three companies responsible for developing and distributing the two most commonly used COVID-19 vaccines around the world are bringing in millions of dollars of profits every hour, a new analysis finds.
The People's Vaccine Alliance (PVA), an international non-profit working to close the global vaccine disparity, analyzed the earnings reports of Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna and found that the companies will make a combined $34 billion in profit this year.
When broken down, that is $93.5 million a day, $65,000 a minute and more than $1,000 every second of profit.

good for them! they saved the world, and deserve some profit!
If their products showed results, I’d feel a lot more inclined
to let them make profits.
Too many people who have been vaccinated, are coming down
with the disease.
87 of the 89 cases at that rest home, had been vaccinated.
If anybody in the Third World wants “my vaccination”, go for it.
Or—in the immortal words of Henny Youngman:
Take my jab, please!
You are correct—they are saving the planet by bending the curve:

The population curve!
How much of that does the government get in taxes, for doing nothing? Shouldn't they give up their tax profits?
There's plenty of other vaccines to choose from if they are not happy with the price, made in China, India, and Russia.

Give Bill Gates a call. He loves vaccinating the third world.
Psst - it’s taxpayer money and many of the tax payers don’t even want the stuff yet biden is trying to mandate it.
And of course the most vaxxed places are having the most covid cases right now so I don’t think they saved the world. The Amish are done with covid. Rural MO and other rural red places are over it and have very low vax rates.
We got through it just like the flu bro.
India is making the AstraZeneca vaccine in that country right now. They may consider making the Sputnik V vaccine, also.
—”$34 billion in profit this year”
Gross? Operating? Pre-tax or net?
Kinda like Tulip mania of the 1600s? Going to crash one of these days
Their motivation explained by the CEO\President was they were tired of unfair vilification they got from their WWI armaments work. He didn't want the company to go through it again. This was a true national emergency and it was something they should do.
Now if this COVID thing is a real national emergency on the WWII level and the “beautiful people” say it is. These drug companies should have made the same offer (or something reasonable like a DOD style contract say 10% to 15% above cost basically a FP FF contract) or been forced to accept that offer.
So profit is wrong now?
I hope you posted this as sarcasm! If not you’r an ASS
Big Pharma Boss: $1,000 a second. Even while I sleep. Like the sound of that.
Aide: They say the whole Covid thing could be slowing down and ending.
Boss: Don’t talk like that.
Of course not. It is how they are making this profit which is very, very wrong. They are bribing governments to force people to take their product: a product which does not work and has severe side effects including death.
This is far beyond merely wrong. This is evil.
16 Nov: 9News Australia: Thousands apply for government scheme to compensate COVID-19 vaccine reactions
By Nick Kelly
Ten thousand Australians so far have registered their interest in a federal government compensation scheme for adverse reactions to a COVID-19 vaccination.
Eligible patients can apply for $5000 to $20,000 to cover medical expenses and loss of income as a result of being hospitalised by a vaccine...
Macquarie Fields resident Harold Molle is one of those, developing a blood clot in his leg three days after his second dose of Astra Zeneca.
After being admitted to hospital, Mr Molle’s leg needed to be amputated...
“It’s going to cost me now, I’ve got to get an artificial leg and a wheel chair.”...
Despite the life changing injury, Mr Molle doesn’t harbor any hard feelings towards the vaccine.
***”The vaccine worked because it saved me in hospital because I caught COVID there, and if I didn’t have the vaccine they said I would have most probably got real sick.”

16 Nov: news.com.au: Melbourne mechanic suffers stroke two days after Pfizer vaccine, doctors say ‘cause unknown’
A “fit and healthy” mechanic says his life has been turned “upside down” since suffering a stroke two days after his second Pfizer shot.
by Frank Chung
A “fit and healthy” car mechanic who got vaccinated to keep his job says his life has been turned “upside down” since suffering a stroke two days after his second Pfizer shot.
Melbourne man Peter Lee, 36, is now in financial hardship and says he feels abandoned by the government...
But it’s not clear whether he will be eligible – according to the Health Department’s website, the scheme will cover the cost of injuries associated with “recognised side effects” of the Pfizer and AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines listed in their product information sheets.
A spokeswoman for the Health Department confirmed that stroke was “not a recognised adverse event”, and warned linking vaccination to a reaction purely based on “temporal association” was “misleading”.
However, a large study from the UK in August did find an increased risk of stroke associated with Pfizer...
Mr Lee received his second dose on October 7.
Soon afterwards he developed a “massive headache”, but was told by staff at the vaccine clinic to “just take some Panadol”.
Two days later, while out walking with his family in Box Hill Gardens on his son’s second birthday, he collapsed...
“I was paralysed on my left side of my body and was unable to walk.”
He was rushed to Box Hill Hospital where he was diagnosed with stroke on his right brain capsule due to blood clots...
“I’m really angry about it, obviously,” Mr Lee said.
“You get the sense they’re trying to hide something, you know? You can tell just from their behaviour, the way they’re speaking – if anyone mentions the vaccine, straight away, ‘No, no, no, it’s very rare.’ They just don’t want to talk about it.”...
SAFEVAC reports are forwarded to the TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration), however Mr Lee says they have had no follow-up or answers despite also lodging their own report with the TGA on October 18...

5.11 million dead of covid worldwide... imagine how many more would be dead without the vaccines?
These companies are hero’s. If you don’t trust them, fine, you don’t have to take the vaccine, I certainly wont make you. But most of the world is very thankful.
I worked in a large R&D lab (BP, Argonne, U of Chicago).
I have visited GD Searle and Abbott.
The smallest of projects can easily cost one million dollars just to verify an improvement on ongoing production.
The production facility costs many times that of a pilot plant.
“The People's Vaccine Alliance (PVA), an international non-profit working to close the global vaccine disparity, analyzed the earnings reports of Pfizer, BioNTech and Moderna and found that the companies will make a combined $34 billion in profit this year.”
Is that the profit on the production of the covid vaccine? Or their total for the year?
Profit is not a bad word.
The worst crime against working people is a company which fails to operate at a profit.---Samuel Gompers
