They said it late in the pandemic too: we may be tired of that virus but unfortunately it doesn't care and it is not done with us.
Oh, I know. Is this vaccine going to be free? I would like the new vaccine. Like, I’m not an anti-vaxxer. But I literally just had to take out a loan to get a tooth filled. How much will this vaccine cost? Because like you said. This virus isn’t done with us. It never will be. How much are the yearly vaccines going to cost Americans?
"I'm not an anti-vaxxer, but am going to post multiple comments saying we shouldn't keep making new vaccines because they would cost a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of a percent of US spending."
Why would I be wanting socialized healthcare (see first comment)? Then be concerned about what the government spends on developing a new vaccine.
I am not trying to be antagonistic. I genuinely want to know, and you’re the only person that has responded to me.
Why is it that when I point out that eventually we are going to be paying for these vaccines no one responds anymore?
The cheapest flu vaccine I could find was $40. Flu vaccines have been around for decades. Plus when I asked the pharmacist how much a flu vaccine costs. He said “if you don’t have insurance we can probably get it down to about $40”.
I’m not going to be able to afford 4 $100 corona vaccines for my family.
What? When I said how much it will cost the American people. I meant individually. How much will it cost ME to get the new vaccine? I can’t afford a tooth filling, and if you think corona vaccines will be free forever. You are sorely mistaken.
