Republicans will fight him on this, because somehow they’ll find fault in this if a DEMOCRAT does it.
To be fair, the companies are raking in huge profits on the vaccines still. They can afford to do faster research themselves. If the public coffers pay, they should get equity.
Hey, lemme know when we get that dividend for the oil profits we’ve been subsidizing for decades.
A majority of their voters are antivaxxers, so it is not just because a Democrat doing it. It is the fact that it is being done at all.
Not a majority, but a substantial number of them. Majority of Republicans got vaccinated, and even a slim majority favored vaccine mandates, but that eroded as it became a Party talking point.
So the government will fund it with tax money, and pharma companies will sell it back to the government for “undisclosed” amount. Did i get it right? Oh what capitalism will do for our collective good.
Still an improvement over the current policy of "shut the fuck up, covid is over."
They are already working on a new booster that should be out at the end of September, but I don't know if it is targeted enough for the new dominant Eris variant, whose main mutation allows it to better escape prior immune detection, or with the emerging Pirola variant, which has a concerning 30 new mutations whose effects are still being investigated.
So, an entirely new vaccine to deal with the newer mutated variants would be great. And with the advances in mRNA vaccine development over the past few years, it shouldn't take long to make a new vaccine either.
Every day i'm thankful to the people who voted Biden/Harris and ousted the criminal fascist trump admin. THANK YOU from Canada.
That'll turn those dropping pharma stocks trending back up.
