CNN's Kate Bolduan speaks with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) about pharmaceutical company Moderna considering a price hike for its Covid vaccines and the potential effect on Americans' bottom line. #CNN #News
Bernie Sanders calls out Moderna for proposed Covid vaccine price hike
Quadrupling! why does it cost more to produce now? This is just more price gouging and profiteering
Ecxavtly
>.< :-(
They are making a last ditch effort to profit off of a “vaccine” that no one wants anymore and are getting the money lost from the ones still willing to get it.
Over time production gets cheaper generally speaking because new or better methods are found that at first (especially global panic over a “new” virus) they didn’t have time to really play around with too much. They just needed to pump it out. Remember hearing stories about armored trucks of doses being stolen by mafia or other entities? I now doubt their validity more than ever but two years is more than enough time to streamline it where it should be 4 times cheaper than it was; not the opposite. This is completely nuts.
It will never change unless we make them change. Bernie 2024
The dude is still trying to help us even though we’re beyond help at this point.
@Susan Kay AOC running around in her string bikini.
@mobilizing trunalimunumaprzure Are you a physician? Or are you an Anti-vaxxer? Statistically, while your quote looks like people are dropping dead right and left, the quotation is insignificant statistically. The question you have not addressed is how many of these individuals would have died from Covid, which is a miserable death, if they had not been vaccinated? And if they were infected with Covid, how many other people would they infect and die. Your statistics, when looking at the bigger picture and put into the chance of dying from Covid or perhaps having myocarditis as a side effect, the chance of getting myocarditis is minuscule. You have a right to not be vaccinated. You DO NOT have the right to possibly kill someone else because of your own fears. Over 1million Americans have died of Covid. How many have died of myocarditis after being vaccinated. I would guess an infinitesimal amount compared to Covid. As l said, myocarditis is treatable. Willful ignorance is not.
@nancy m ross leftist never get anything done. They just cry about others.
The only person Sanders has ever helped, was himself.
@Deborah Freedman Prove it. Medicare for all wouldn’t help those who cannot pay for or make too much to qualify for Medicaid? Bernie Sanders fights for the people, not the Corporate thieves who raise prices to pay their CEO’S more money than they could spend in 5 lifetimes.
This is insane! They have already made billions! This isn’t about health!
@MY2 Cent I’m sorry, has it been the Republicans trying to force that into everyone for the past 2 years?🤔🤔🤔nope
@Clinton Kildepsteen go eagles
don’t worry about that 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐄🐄🐄🐄…. just keep jabbing…
@MY2 Cent The Democrats mandated the shots
Just follow the scientism already 😉
The balance of power is unbalanced.
Bernie is 100 percent right. This is the perfect example of Corporate greed
don’t worry about that 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐄🐄🐄🐄…. just keep jabbing…
How to maximize profits. Have the government mandate Covid shots.
Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum will take over soon. Good times are coming.
@James C. so greed, they want that funding and those domations, so they are willing to let it slide
@Artistik Gaming Pyramid scheme, no honor, integrity…no more sacrificing to make others rich.
So, they’ll charge the government about $26, then all of a sudden, it’s now worth $115 to $130 per dose? What changed? New, more expensive components? Or is it financial greed and gain? Justifying the price hike by its ‘value?’
This is why Americans pay through the nose for medications.
The profit over people model has got to change.
It’s appropriate for a company to recoup their costs and make a profit. Price gouging is not acceptable.
They will be producing less vaccines. So the price has Togo up.
Everyone with a brain knows if you’re a kid or a healthy person you don’t need the vaccine. So since they ain’t making the money they thought they were going too, they upped the price to make up for it.
@Bert Nijhof Hitler followed the law too. You might be missing a point here.
They are hiking it to cover the upcoming costs of future damages.
They won’t be able to sell it for more than a couple more years, and once it’s pulled the lawsuits will start pouring in.
They are rich, but they need this cash to futureproof against those lawsuits.
I’m sure both companies made billing to dollars in the first few months when they discovered something that would help prevent or stop the deaths from happening, but the biggest thing is always CEO guys who are getting from a six-figure check to a seven-figure check because of greed how sad. 😤😡😠😨😰
Bernie Sanders is a great senator,fighting against corporate greed that financially penalizes citizens.
@C And you proved my point you couldn’t name a single thing he’s done. And I mean off the top of your head don’t look it up.
@C trumpanzees have 48 chromosomes and thus no ability to reason. Bernie could have beat Biden in the primary had DLC not knifed him in the back.
They did the same in ’16 but they were kinda right then, based on Hillary getting 7,000,000 more votes than the former moron-in-chief. I wish Bernie would drop the socialist label as I’m an expat in Sweden and all the top countries on the Democracy Index are Capitalist Democracies, and we pay for everything.
Commie Bernie has gotten rich off the backs of Americans taxpayers!
don’t worry about that 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐄🐄🐄🐄…. just keep jabbing…
“Bernie Sanders calls out Moderna for proposed Covid vaccine price hike” so let’s “Convince It Forward” with Laus DEO
Seriously? They haven’t profited enough from the pandemic? OMFG.🤯
It was always about control. Pfizer has paid the largest fines in all recorded history and lefties still trust their product…
Moderna CEO is the new “pharma boy”. Boycott the crap out of them.
The laws and rules are the problem.
“It won’t turn into that.” Two years later: It has turned into that.
Any company that takes money from the government to help research has to give at least 10 to 20% of the patent because to me that’s an investment.
Any company that comes to the United States government asking for grants for research automatically has to give up a percentage of that patent because we invested into that research with a grant. Period
Cool but that just means they’ll jack up the price more to pay the vig.
Call your congressman . . .
@Susan Kay calling does nothing, politicians are paid under the table to look the other way and to have deaf ears – I’ve been to my congressman office, and was made to sit in their office lobby for several hours with no other visitors there, only to be told they were too busy when the the office closed. its BS, they don’t listen or care.
Since the research into the mRNA platform *was not paid for by the government* but rather by corporations for the last 15 years, what is your point?
Thank you Bernie! This is outrageous!
Bernie for president 2024 🇺🇲
This is immoral! This is disgusting! This needs to stop! Thank you, Bernie, for speaking out!!!
Cool, let’s quadruple our take of their profit margins. Seems like they owe the taxpayer a percentage since we paid for them to have this opportunity.
Bernie for president! An honest to goodness civilization warrior
I’m from Vermont, and I can tell you that what you see of Bernie on tv is exactly how he is in real life. That’s why he keeps getting reelected, and he is one of a VERY few politicians who are actually honest and actually works for the betterment of common people. He will always get my vote! 🙂👍
@Dr. Яock he can get more accomplished as a senator. He can also speak out against the madness like this
As a president he has to watch his words a little bit more.
@The truth For now What has he ever accomplished as Senator, other than giving himself a raise?
That’s stupidity … he’s a millionaire… what a joke
@Deborah Freedman please research yourself as I do not have the time to do so. Even if I did you would soon forget my text or say it was fake news.
@Alison Most people with degrees who spent their lifetime in the senate making 225k a year would be multi millionaires unless they made bad investments.
Bernie is a great man. Thank you, Senator Sanders.
Bernie 2024 🇺🇲
Why are they allowed to hike prices on a vaccine whos research and development was funded mostly if not entirely by government funding?
They need laws when it comes to the pricing of anything medical
