Pfizer Hiking COVID Vaccine Prices By 400%

  • The United States has purchased hundreds of millions of vaccine doses from Pfizer, which partnered with BioNTech to manufacture the product. In one recent deal, the federal government bought 105 million doses for $3.2 billion, implying a cost of slightly more than $30 per dose.
  • Nevertheless, Pfizer President of International Developed Markets Janine Small confessed during testimony before the European Parliament that her company never tested its vaccine to determine whether it stopped transmission.
  • She added that no such tests were conducted because the world was facing a pressing health crisis, and insisted that the vaccine, which Pfizer believes protects people from getting COVID or reduces mortality for those who contract the virus, had to be made quickly available.
