Moderna says it will keep its vaccine free for all people in the U.S.—reversing course on its planned 400% price increase—one day after Bernie Sanders said he would force the CEO to testify.

Thank you, Bernie!!!

@luckytran Thank goodness, but for god’s sake, the bar is so low 😖🤬😢

@luckytran @irtapil@mastodon.online

the USA isn't exactly the most in need they've all had a dozen each by now? what about the rest of us?

@aral Nachdem nach Ähnlichen Fake News des letzten Jahres klingt habe ich Twitter aufgerufen und den Account runtergescrollt von dem angeblich der Tweet stammt. Nichts zu finden. Ich vermute stark, dass das Fake ist.

@luckytran Bernie didn’t spend a dime of his own money on development, didn’t put long hours into research and development, nor manufacturing and quality control. The risk is that incentives won’t be there for the next vaccine.

@luckytran Which is the right thing to do!!! It was taxpayers who financed the vaccine development!

@luckytran That’s great! They owe a lot to Dolly Parton and her generosity.

@luckytran

Someone on Mastodon was arguing recently with me that all Bernie Sanders has accomplished in his career was naming some post offices. Cynical fool.

"Moderna says it will keep its #Covid vaccine free for all people in the U.S.—reversing course on its planned 400% price increase—one day after Bernie Sanders said he would force the CEO to testify."

@luckytran It sucks that we have to basically force these greedy fucks to do 1 single right thing.

@MaxPow3r11 @luckytran at the same time, thank God we have ONE senator who's doing at least that much. imagine if 10 or 20 of them actually cared this much about us.

@luckytran "Don't worry, we'll make it up from the Canadians."

@luckytran I'm glad the US is the only country affected by the COVID pandemic!

@luckytran

I build on strong "war can not cancel Covid" foundation. Good news for Moderna, looking forward for other vendors and their managers

Thank you

@luckytran capitalist dogs should fear the man in the mittens!! :)

The United States of America would be in the middle ages without Bernie Sanders.

@luckytran I wonder how things would've turned out if he made it as president when he first ran.

@luckytran As a MRNA stockholder, I am cool with this. The concept of a 400% increase from free is weird (because 0 + 400% is sttill... 0?), but apparently the increase was what MRNA would charge the USG, whilst you and me would maybe still pay $0.

@luckytran testify for or against what?

@luckytran oh, can we get him to stand up for Novavax, too?

@luckytran way better to make developing countries pay those high prices (or even better not to even offer for those countries).

Just to be sure I'm understood. I think it's right to ensure these companies are acting fairly, but it should be on a global scale not just a local scale.

@louis @luckytran This! And other countries should be given all the information they need to manufacture the vaccines.

@luckytran Bernie is, and always will be, a complete badass! #BernieSanders

@luckytran Sometimes I really love that guy about as much as I can love a politician.

This is one of those times.

@spicypisces @luckytran he helped push through the railroad strike breaker bill.

@ellenor2000 @spicypisces @luckytran absolutely false- he created the amendment to give sick leave that was ultimately defeated

@spicypisces @luckytran @irtapil@mastodon.online

I'm not so fond of him, he is too nationalist

But i suppose in the USA the Overton window is very far to the right and the bar is very low.
