They got you with the "per capita" part. It's like comparing the taxes of the rich and the poor. You can say rich pay 2% and poor pay 25%. Or you can say rich pay $800 million and poor pay $1000. Just depends on how you say it.

Better hope no new diseases break out then. Moderna Curbing Investments Don't think other drug companies won't follow.

There goes $1.2 Billion in funding. Guess we'll find out WHOs health care system is better.

I need a vaccine from your font.

It's just games. When you want just a piece, you ask for the whole thing, then when you "settle" for just a piece, people think they've beaten you. Yeah it's wild at that level, but it works.

You're right, good thing they decided not to pursue developing more vaccines. Can't gouge you then, I guess.

Well, they do love a subscription model.

Not if they don't develop them in the first place, as this story is saying.

It was always joked that the US pays for everyone now this story seems to support that fact. I wonder if views would change if more drug companies started saying the same thing.

Funny you mention polio. Dr. Jonas Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine in 1955 and famously chose not to patent it, prioritizing public health over potential profit.

Does this include inflation? Like you can have 0% growth and still have $10, $100, and $1000 income over time if inflation is wild.

Are you questioning that the rest of the world doesn't pay lower prices? Or that Moderna said that it can't make a profit without the US?

So, isn't the story about how those "responsible" Healthcare systems wouldn't even have vaccines then? I can't imagine that it's just Moderna that's doing this. All drug companies are probably thinking the same thing, its just Moderna said it out loud.

They've had bots buying stuff since forever. Nothing is going to change.

Lots of people use lots of water. News at 11. I bet the world's 100 smallest cities are fine right?
