A comment on FDA Approves First Covid-19 Vaccine. Parent comment
True.
> Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine generated $7.8 billion in revenue in the second quarter[1].
Note that with Pharma, there is a fixed cost up front. After that, the marginal cost is relatively small and every extra dose prints money.
Also, there are people in other countries who are being called back for a fourth dose right now.
