We’re weeks away from the latest round of COVID-19 boosters becoming available in the U.S., but the new commercial cost is over four times as expensive.
COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations have been on the rise. The schedule for new boosters is now on an annual fall cycle, which lines up with the flu shot season as well as respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, Axios reported.
Pfizer, which has developed several COVID-19 vaccines over the last three years, is nearing approval from the Food and Drug Administration, for a new booster formulated to protect against an omicron variant. It’s expected to be available this fall.
Most people won’t have to pay out of pocket — if they have insurance, CNBC reported.
For those without health insurance or government assistance, they could pay between $110 to $130 per single-dose vial, The Kansas City Star reported. In July of 2020, it was priced at $19.50 per dose. That hit $24 in July 2021 and $30.48 in June 2022.
“Pfizer has priced the vaccine to ensure the price is consistent with the value delivered and with the goal of uninterrupted access for every American,” the company wrote in an email to The Star.
KFF — an independent source for health policy research, polling and journalism — wrote in a post that, “For the uninsured and underinsured – who will not have guaranteed access to free COVID-19 vaccines – the commercial price could discourage vaccination.”

and perhaps your life but let's not quibble.
Do they have a vaccine against quibble?
Let’s say Rutgers’ admissions is 20k students (no idea). That amounts to ~$2 million. How much of that would find its way back to some medical department?
Far more than the cost of a bullet — if having to pay for one’s execution.
whores
How much did Jack Kervorkian charge for an injection? I would assume mass production would get the cost way down.
Or just don’t get it, save your money and your life.
Reminds me when executioners were paid by the prisoner about to execute to ensure a quick, clean beheading.

I’m an uber driver and I talk to many new people everyday.
From every walk of life, including leftists, no one believes this stuff anymore.
They simply aren’t falling for it.
I do take 1 person every 2 days or so from the airport who is wearing a mask, and of those maybe 1 a month who doesn’t take it off in the car.

I’m intending to get my annual flu vaccination next month. That’s it.
No more stupid masks, either!
Don’t give them ideas.
“no one believes this stuff anymore.”
Thanks for the good news. I don’t believe anymore, either. Seniors in rest homes were told to stay in their rooms for eight months in 2020. Never again.
In your state do a FOIA Freedom of Information Act on your State Health Department that has the Medicaid Database.This is the single large health database in your state, probably. It is typically a barbell with ABD Aged, Blind, Disabled at one end and Women of child bearing age and the children at the other end.
Under FOIA ask the Department for statistics for each week in 2023 (or choose a reasonable time period), cause of death, ICD-10 diagnosis.
Trust the science, not the scientist.. or PR department of the scientist.
Over $100 to get your death jab. What a deal.
