Attached: 2 images 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.

Pfizers R&D budget is 11 billion per year. That money comes from products from the market.

They made 100 billion in profit and spent 11 on research. They can afford to sell things much much cheaper and still have both profits and research money.
