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)

There’s just so much wrong in your comment I can’t address it all…

If you can't then you'd better say nothing.

But where has anyone said the government had to manufacture it too?

You said when talking about pharma companies as middlemen. You remove those middlemen - you have to do tasks they perform.

We’re talking about patents right now.

Yes, patent law should be abolished. That's what I'm talking about while commenting in most threads blaming "capitalism", because in like 2/3 cases patent law is to blame and not that.

The rest of what you said is still wrong, can’t stress that enough, it just also has absolutely nothing to do with what people were talking about…

Thank you for your unsubstantiated opinion which I can beat with that of my own every time, so not sure why you'd even express it without details.

You've got a point, I should have said "won't put the effort in".

I looked at your profile, you wait till posts are really old, then spam a bunch of nonsensical replies in it.

I'm just gonna block you. Everyone wins.

Not the worst way to look at this, if you want my opinion.
