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)

That's what they make you believe. Why American still pay high prices for insulin? It doesn't cost that much to produce. It just those companies are paying politicians to keep things in their advantages and give you those excuses.
