Recently, the CDC voted to add the Covid-19 shot to the child immunization schedule…
Today, Pfizer announced that once the U.S. government stops subsidizing the shot through massive procurement programs and forced immunization, it will increase the price of the shot 4-fold.
The pharmaceutical company will price the shots between $110-$130. This represents a 400% increase from the current pricing.
It shouldn’t take a rocket scientist to figure this out, but this is a massive scam.
An experimental shot that does not prevent transmission of the virus, added to the mandatory schedule for the least vulnerable segment of the population while simultaneously jacked up to $130 per shot is the most blatant form of greed I think I have ever seen.
The response was overwhelmingly negative:
Pfizer’s C19-V is already one of the most lucrative products in history, yet it plans to quadruple its price.
This is not about health. It is about profits. And it will now earn billions more to influence media, hire lobbyists and crush our freedoms.https://t.co/wTTlPBDYGh

The Hill explains:
Angela Lukin said during an investor call Thursday the company is still in discussion with insurers but that they are confident the price will ensure equitable access and reimbursement.
The federal government currently pays about $30 a dose, and then distributes the vaccine to the public for free.
Criminal if true.

Pfizer will now jack up the price of COVID 💉
Vaccines that are still in clinical trials that have not been shown to prevent transmission should never be paid for publicly by the government. Make everyone pay out of pockethttps://t.co/bW8rkEjELk

Market Watch provided more insight as to incurred costs:
A recent Kaiser Family Foundation analysis said most people with private insurance won’t be expected to pay anything out of pocket for the vaccines, though the costs may eventually be baked into the price of health-insurance premiums, as is done with flu shots.
People with Medicare will have their shots covered by Medicare Part B, while those with Medicaid should also have coverage of COVID-19 vaccines. It’s the uninsured who may find it difficult to find free vaccines and boosters in the future.
