When it comes to infectious diseases, Big Pharma cannot and should
not have the right to make life-saving vaccines unattainable. The
federal government has a moral obligation to protect public health,
especially when the very vaccine being inflated was developed in part by
taxpayer-funded innovation.
American taxpayers have already made wealthy executives at Moderna and Pfizer even wealthier.
In their most recent company report, Moderna revealed that while it
spent $2.1 billion on research and development in the first nine months
of 2022, it spent $2.9 billion in the same period on stock buybacks to
increase the value of its stock. This comes as Moderna received more
than $1 billion in research and development assistance from the
government.
The math is astounding - and paints a grim picture of the American healthcare system. But the federal government can take action, and we need your help to get them to, friend.
Sign if you agree: Everyone should have free access to the COVID-19 vaccine.
Keep fighting,
