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.

      Torches would burn the bodies too much. You need a proper grill.

      Sounds good. In the meantime, I’m going to buy some Pfizer stock for my kids sake.

        This comment is loaded with wishful thinking.

          That’s optimistic tbh. More like my comment is the result of 2 decades of fighting the good fight only to watch those I’m trying to help dig a deeper hole. Time to tend my little patch of grass, build a sturdy fence, and hope for a renaissance.
