The amount of Pfizer boot lickers here is astounding
Bots and shills.
Wish the admins could do something about them (bots at least).
It's like someone urinating in the swimming pool, so that nobody else wants to swim in it.
You have to consider all the R&D they put into it.
(Didn't the government pay for most of that?)
Right?
In a just world, "the people" would see this pricing, realize that they were the ones who paid for the development of it, and simply seize the company.
Whether that took the form of government litigation to force the company to offer this at a reasonable price, or simply a mob of people forcing the company's hand or else they burn it to the ground, either way, there needs to be a stick of fear to go along with the carrot of profit.
I'm not saying they should make no profit, but this is ridiculous.
Their R&D was releasing it to the public.
