The costs of coronavirus vaccines and their pricing

If this is what the drug companies are charging, why is the Alberta Government going to make people pay ~$100 per dose?

“Moderna and Pfizer were charging more affluent nations and the EU for their mRNA vaccines with prices ranging from $14.70 to $23.50 a dose.”

Return, compensation and full apology. Anything less is unacceptable.

The person destroying vaccines, clean water, pasteurization, and almost all public health accomplishment in the last century wants you to know it's your fault if you are unhealthy.

There’s a nonzero chance you will die from a cancer that could have been curable because people who couldn’t pass 7th grade biology and are scared of things like “mRNA” and “riboflavin” and “walkable cities” decided to make their ignorance everybody else’s problem

Smith was directly asked today if her new plan for surgeries in Alberta would gut the public system and allow access to public facilities for private for profit operators...

Her response?

"Mmmhm"

No.

For reals.

There’s some stunning info in the new @ParklandInst report on surgeries in Alberta…

And it seems pretty clear that private for profit surgeries are choking out the public system.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us.

That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.
