COVID-19 vaccines won’t be free for long. What will they cost?

The Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions will hold a hearing on March 22 to discuss the pricing of the COVID-19 vaccines. Pfizer and Moderna are preparing to offer their vaccines in the private sector, without the federal government covering the cost. This will be necessary, given that the COVID-19 national and public health emergencies will expire on May 11. This will also shift the cost burden to health insurance companies, or for some people, be an out-of-pocket expense, although Moderna has indicated they will provide their vaccine at no cost to the uninsured and underinsured.

The federal government has been paying between $15 to $31 per dose for the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Both companies have proposed prices between $110 and $130, around four times higher.

So a production cost roughly equal to one 9mm cartridge......

Same efficacy.

Once the criminal and civil prosecutions start for the manufacturers of these gene editing products the answer is “nothing”.

So the clot-shots will run you circa $100 each. I wonder when the Democrats are going to pass the excess profits tax on the Pharma?

By the way, to the person who said that the production cost is under a dollar, may I remind you that there is a hefty R&D cost that has to be recovered by the Pharms.

They haven’t been ‘free’ up to now, either. Just paid for via tax dollars pulled from...you and me...

This scam has very nearly destroyed this Nation.

Like everything else in society, they will be subject to the law of supply and demand. This means that they will continue to cost nothing.

Rand Paul accuses Fauci of engaging in 'cover-up' of COVID origins as House GOP embarks on probe

Paul, a frequent critic of Dr. Anthony Fauci, says he could be called as 'hostile witness' in GOP-led hearings

Paul blasts Fauci over alleged COVID 'cover-up' as GOP begins probe

Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., joins "The Story" to sound off as House Republicans embark on a committee probe into COVID-19 pandemic origins.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, former chief medical adviser to the president, was engaged in an "elaborate cover-up" of the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic, Sen. Rand Paul said Tuesday as the GOP-led House of Representatives is set to embark on a select committee investigation into the contagion.

Paul, a medical doctor of ophthalmology who has sparred with Fauci several times in Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearings, told "The Story" that Fauci's behind-the-scenes behavior in an alleged cover-up began in January 2020. Fauci is also the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

"The reason Dr. Fauci didn't want any attention drawn to this or to his funding of the lab is that ultimately he would have culpability," Paul said.

"There's a responsibility – because for years he had advocated for gain-of-function research. He's even quoted as saying in 2012, if a pandemic should occur, if a scientist should be bitten by an animal and the virus gets out of the lab, it would be worth the knowledge."

RAND PAUL: FAUCI INTIMIDATES SCIENTISTS FROM CONTRADICTING HIM BECAUSE HE ‘CONTROLS THE FUNDING’!

We will not get any form of Covid shots/jabs, now or in the future.

However, Russia apparently did not order its Covid Vacs destroyed.

Claim: Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the destruction of all COVID-19 vaccines in Russia due to links to HIV/AIDS.

Fact check by Snopes? That’s as good as Wikipedia. I wouldn’t go off that.
