It's difficult. Do you trust J&J after what they did with their baby powder [1]? Or Pfizer [2], or Moderna who's vaccine is the most expensive and new to the scene [3]?

[3] - Oxford/AstraZeneca: €1.78 (£1.61). - Johnson & Johnson: $8.50 (£6.30). - Sanofi/GSK: €7.56. - Pfizer/BioNTech: €12. - CureVac: €10. - Moderna: $18.

Wow, I’d never heard of the Pfizer case. Here’s a crazy snippet:

“Pfizer argued that it was not required to obtain informed consent for experimental drug trials in Africa, and that any case should be heard in Nigeria”

>Wow, I’d never heard of the Pfizer case.

From the Wiki article

>Pfizer subsequently settled the case out of court with a $75 million settlement that was subject to a confidentiality clause.

Does the confidentiality clause also suppress media or is that a separate payment to whoever is putting their nose into it? I'm curious how these stories get out, and are there others that don't ever reach Wiki articles?

Cost is by far the least interesting part of this for me. These are all astoundingly affordable vaccines. $18 is the cost of a big bottle of Claritin!

I'm definitely getting the Vaccine, just saying, it's not easy to just blindly trust anyone.
