💉 Survival becomes more expensive: Pfizer and Moderna raise vaccine prices⠀
💵 Pfizer Inc (NYSE: PFE) and Moderna Inc (NASDAQ: MRNA) have raised prices for their COVID-19 vaccines in recent EU supply contracts. No problem! – The usual business.
⠀
The European Commission said that the EU intends to achieve the goal at any cost - to fully vaccinate at least 80% of the adult population in 2-3 months. This requires over a billion doses of vaccines from four major manufacturers in stock by the end of September.
⠀
Now one “portion” of Pfizer costs €19.50 ($23.15), which is €4 more than the “old” price. The
Moderna vaccine price has risen to $25.50 per one, but this is even better than the previously agreed price of $28.50, as the volume of orders increased significantly.
⠀
Since the beginning of the pandemic, at least 10 business owners have become billionaires from vaccine profits, according to the charity Oxfam and information from the People's Vaccine Alliance.
⠀
The maximum profit was recorded by the head of
Moderna Company, Stefan Bansel (his fortune is estimated at $4.3 billion), and the co-owner of BioNTech Company, Ugur Shahin ($4 billion). In addition to
Moderna representatives, the list also includes investors and officials from China's CanSino Biologics and vaccine packaging manufacturer ROVI.
⠀
Both Pfizer and Moderna declined to comment on the current contract with the European Commission, citing confidentiality.
⠀
Profits to y'all!
