Any reason why you omitted the other recent years in which it nearly or more than doubled?

Fine, the following page shows their net profits from 2006 - 2020.

https://www.statista.com/statistics/266194/net-income-of-pha...

This shows three years of Phizer netting in the neighborhood of 20 billion. This year they've hit 20 billion net in the first nine months. Let's see in a couple of weeks by how much they've blown away their previous record of 22 billion.

Ultimately, is there any reason to pretend these profits have nothing to do with the vaccine?

I made no suggestion either way, but I see you’ve switched from providing the dollar and percentage increase to dollar increase only for some reason.

Are profits good or bad? Should they have profit from the vaccine?

How many of those enacting mandates for a particular product of certain publicly traded corporations also happen be shareholders of those corporations? I wouldn't know, because that information needs not be disclosed.

If they’re smart, all of them. An index fund is probably the best investment for most people.

More seriously though, there’s widespread support for vaccines and even vaccine mandates worldwide.
