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.

I think we’d be better off is we shifted R&D to academia. Sure there’s a fuck ton of bureaucracy in universities, but maybe then our tax dollars will be put to good use, and people learn.
