Cost to manufacture remdesivir: Less than $10 Public funding used to develop remdesivir: More than $70M Price Gilead Sciences is charging Americans with private insurance for remdesivir: $3,100 This is wrong. We must make sure that remdesivir is available for all.

This is what they did with HIV. Why use existing cheap drugs when you can make expensive new ones? Why make a one-time cure or vaccine when you can sell a 'treatment' that goes on for years? HIV treatment runs about $4K a month for life. Imagine what covid will cost you.

I suggest we ask nicely in public with cameras rolling. Negotiation is good. Coercion is not.

We don't know how much the company spent on this drug or how many others drugs they tried before that didn't make it thru trials. It is more complicated than the above information. Need to find out more before we complain.

Disagree strongly with your complaints about Pharma’s pricing with innovative drugs. Plenty of other places to discuss waste and greed. Another place. Another time. MHN MD MBA
