Pharmaceutical giant Johnson & Johnson revealed Wednesday that it expects to take home about $2.5 billion from COVID-19 vaccine sales in 2021, far lower than estimates from its jab rivals Moderna and Pfizer.
Pfizer and Moderna have previously forecast $26 billion and $19.2 billion in annual sales of their vaccines, respectively.

Wait...are we supposed to be surprised, shocked, horrified that companies who researched, developed and distributed vaccines for a once-in-a-century global pandemic made a lot of money?

Or is this just more tinfoil stuff?

so if the government forced them to make the vaccine and give it away for free, wouldnt we be hearing “government takeovers!  socialism!  communism!  marxism! we are a capitalist country this is bullshit!”

how about just sitting this one out instead of taking flimsy positions to prove a decaying point

Aren't they giving the shot away for free?


 And aren't we supposed to despise huge corporations, corruption, in bed with gov't?

 I am so confused, didn't you used to be liberal?

No they are not giving it away free, my government purchased it for the general welfare of the people.  Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1of the Constituion, not even an amendment, I thought conservatives really take pride in knowing those things.  Or it may be only the parts that suit your needs at the time that are relevant, you think?

So if the gov't purchased it with our tax dollars for our benefit, yah think $50 billion in sales was a great deal for us?  yah I know it wasn't their only sales, but since the same government pushed lockdowns that put small businesses out of business, you think they could have negotiated a bit better deal?

And we should believe all this research was done for this once-in-a-century disease?  Or do you just swallow whatever this benevolent gov't shovels?  Oh wait, didn't Trump push this vaccine ramp up while Joe and Kam questioned it?

And they're actually supposed to bill your insurance first. If they don't pay (why would they?), then they bill the government.

Free market dude, the US paid a premium to reach herd immunity get ahead of the rest of the world, and we crapped the bed. Now look who's taking the victim posture and whining about the lack of fair profits.   The rest of the gibberish has nothing to do with the price of vaccine in covid.

Sometimes I wonder how people can support Biden. But in your case you seem to be reading from the same teleprompter.

You never fail to deliver, when ever I feel the need for some insight on how the "conservative" mind works I come to you.  If you are not informative you are entertaining.
