'The Sheer Greed Is Obscene': Moderna Plans 4,000% Markup for Covid Vaccine.
"This vaccine isn't just Moderna's, it was developed in collaboration with a government agency," said one campaigner. "It should be available and affordable for everyone, everywhere."
JAKE JOHNSON
Jan 10, 2023The Massachusetts-based pharmaceutical giant Moderna faced angry backlash on Tuesday following the CEO's announcement that the firm is considering pricing its Covid-19 vaccine somewhere between $100 and $130 per dose in the United States.
The upper end of that range, according to the People's Vaccine Alliance (PVA), would represent a 4,000% markup above the cost of manufacturing the shot, which experts have pegged at roughly $2.85 per dose.
"The sheer greed is obscene," said PVA policy co-lead Julia Kosgei, who stressed that "billions of taxpayer dollars went into the development of mRNA vaccines."
"This vaccine isn't just Moderna's, it was developed in collaboration with a government agency based on decades of publicly-funded research," Kosgei said. "It is the people's vaccine—and it should be available and affordable for everyone, everywhere."
Stephane Bancel, Moderna's billionaire CEO, defended the proposed price range in an interview on the sidelines of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference in San Francisco, tellingThe Wall Street Journal that he believes "this type of pricing is consistent with the value" of the vaccine, which was developed with the crucial help of government scientists.
In 2020, Moderna admitted that 100% of the funding for its vaccine development program came from the federal government—which, despite its leverage, has refused to force the company to share its vaccine recipe with the world.

Dear readers,
After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview will be closing in the near future. This difficult decision is part of the annual operating plan review that our parent company shared earlier this year.
The site will remain active until April 10, and the editorial team is still working on reviews and looking forward to delivering some of our best-ever content.
Everyone on our staff was a reader and fan of DPReview before working here, and we’re grateful for the communities that formed around the site.
Thank you for your support over the years, and we hope you’ll join us in the coming weeks as we celebrate this journey.
Sincerely,
Scott Everett

- +1 for having california as your ideal example for socialism. the state that resembles a dumpster firehotroddy
- It’s even cheaper if you cut sugar out of your diet and eat zero processed foods.shapesalad
- exactly. somehow California can't stop pumping sugar into kids with soda drinks in school. but good for them fighting the insulin war.hotroddy
- The last time I checked, sugar was an addictive drug pumped into the communities by corporations and their shareholders...its called capitalism!utopian
- Research on rats has found that sugar is more addictive than opioid drugs such as cocaine.
https://www.newhallh…utopian - Hotknobby you're one dumb and ignorant fuckwad of a subhuman. Stop watching Newsmax & Fox News for your facts.utopian
- I agree sugar is addictive and unhealthy. But corporations should be free to use sugar in their products. After all, sugar is fine in small doses.hotroddy
- Now that California is in the insulin business, they have less incentive to curb sugar in public schools.hotroddy
- California can pass a law to ban tobacco sales to those born after a certain year but can't do anything about sugar use?hotroddy
- stop calling me ignorant if you are going to preface it with statements like, "opioid drugs such as cocaine"hotroddy
- So is intelligence, morality and ethics apparently_niko
- Wow shapesalad and hotroddy just cured type 1 diabetes!dmay
- the word is 'prevent' not 'cure'hotroddy
- You can't prevent type 1 daibetes, dumbass! Learn before you say stupid thingsdmay
- Type 1 diabetes is insulin dependent and as nothing to do with diet, it's an autoimmune condition.dmay
- which type of diabetes affects the greatest % of popula'n? which preventive measures could have sweeping effects in the overall health of American population?hotroddy
- ^ that's the diabetes in questionhotroddy
- 1.4 million in America, 64,000 each year, is that enough?dmay
- well, I was talking about the 36 million. Do you have type 1?hotroddy
- I get the point. I empathize if you have type 1 and the medicine should be accessible and it's ridiculous the prices of insulin.hotroddy
- **I empathize with anyone who has...hotroddy
- My oldest daughter has it, and luckily I live in a "socialist" country where insulin, insulin pumps and glucose sensors are subsidized by the statedmay
- You are fortunate in that regard. Hopefully, California can make it work. But paying for the costs for those eating/living unhealthy is a little much.hotroddy
- and the high prices can be used as a deterrent for making poor choices.hotroddy
