Okay so the first issue here is there is no such thing as "long term immunity". Most recently, a study published in the journal Science has found that immunity can last for as long as 8 months. We do not know enough about the virus to say how long one is immune.

Second as capitalist we should be happy these companies get to make money off the vaccines right? That is the nature of the beast.

So far, governments around the world have been the only purchasers of the COVID-19 vaccines, so the price has been set by government contracts. But different countries are paying different prices. South Africa, for example, reportedly paid $5.25 per dose for the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in January, more than twice the price of $2.15 per dose paid by the European Union (EU), according to a report in BMJ. The South African government has announced that it is holding back on administering that vaccine because it may be less effective against the country’s namesake variant.

The EU is also paying less for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine than the U.S., $14.70 per dose versus $19.50, according to figures reported in BMJ. On the other hand, the U.S. is paying less for the Moderna vaccine (about $15) than the EU (about $18), according to the BMJ piece. The contribution governments have made toward vaccine research is the explanation for the price differences. Moderna is charging the U.S. less for its vaccine because the U.S. government funded research that led to the vaccine’s development. Similarly, the EU supported research that led to the development of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, thus the lower price for that vaccine for the EU.

Finally this woman is obtuse, how can she not know about the massive push to vaccinate children in 1978, in an effort to eliminate measles? or the push to eliminate polio, when the polio vaccine was invented?

You have to pick a side either it is good that we are capitalists or it isn't you don't get to pick and choose who gets to be a billionaire.

594k people dead that is the sum total of the deaths in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, and the GWOT.

But four dumb asses in Benghazi gets you riled up. Benghazi happened because the ambassador refused uniformed security personnel, and then chose to stay in an unsecured location. That is the plain truth, that no one on the right wishes to here.

Hypocrites one and all, if Trump had won the election, none of you would care about the cost of the vaccine, hell you would probably report that they were compassionate in their pricing, and bemoan the EU for paying less because of "socialized medicine."
