Pfizer says it will price Covid treatment Paxlovid at nearly $1,400 for a five-day course, which researchers estimate only costs Pfizer $13 to produce. That's a 10,000%+ markup. Shameful. (mastodon.world)

Definitely not at a loss to produce no, but maybe a loss overall.

My bet is that the US subsidizes R&D by paying obscene amounts for the drugs and the EU and others just serve as extra income
