Should have stayed in Texas...Have another Miller Lite LOL

Free to you and me. The vaccine allows us to be free to be you and me.

and nope, not from tax dollars. Because of the pandemic, the Companies are forgoing profit, so the cost is negligible. Besides that the government spends first, and taxes are collected later, basically to support a minimal value to the Dollar. We have discussed this before. If taxes were required to pay for what the US spends, our GDP would be halved.

Moderna reports $1.7 billion in COVID-19 vaccine sales, posts first profit ever

Moderna Inc. MRNA, +10.30% brought in $1.7 billion in sales of its COVID-19 vaccine in the first quarter of 2021, marking the company's first significant billion-dollar revenue haul this year and also the first time it's ever reported a GAAP profit. Moderna had earnings of $1.2 billion, or $2.84 per share, in the first quarter of 2021. This is compared to a loss of $124 million, or 35 cents per share, in the first quarter a year ago. The FactSet consensus was $2.39. Moderna had revenue of $1.9 billion for the quarter, up from $8 million in the same quarter a year ago. The FactSet consensus for revenue was $2.0 billion. This quarter marked the first time that the company has generated product revenue during the first three months of the year. About $1.7 billion of that came from sales of its COVID-19 vaccine. (Before receiving authorization from the Food and Drug Administration, it generated grant and collaboration revenue.) Moderna's stock is up 55.8% for the year, while the S&P 500 SPX, -0.75% has gained 10.9%.

1.7B in sales, but maybe 2B in expenses?

Moderna does much more than vaccines against Covid.

Besides, the vaccine is free for everyone. Go take it.

Last year, racing to develop a vaccine in record time, Pfizer made a big decision: Unlike several rival manufacturers, which vowed to forgo profits on their shots during the Covid-19 pandemic, Pfizer planned to profit on its vaccine.


On Tuesday, the company announced just how much money the shot is generating.


The vaccine brought in $3.5 billion in revenue in the first three months of this year, nearly a quarter of its total revenue, Pfizer reported. The vaccine was, far and away, Pfizer’s biggest source of revenue.


The company did not disclose the profits it derived from the vaccine, but it reiterated its previous prediction that its profit margins on the vaccine would be in the high 20 percent range. That would translate into roughly $900 million in pretax vaccine profits in the first quarter.

last i checked there are 4 quarters in a business year ...


that's a projected 3.6 BILLION in pre tax PROFITS for Pfizer .. alone.


i'd let this go if i were you ...

I love to see Companies making profits. If you would embrace Capitalism as I do, you would feel the same

First ... let's examine Moderna's own representations:

Revenue: Total revenue was $571 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 compared to $14 million for the fourth quarter of 2019. Total revenue was $803 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $60 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increases in both periods in 2020 were driven by increases in grant revenue and product sales. The increase in grant revenue was primarily due to the BARDA award to accelerate development of our COVID-19 vaccine. We began to recognize revenue in December 2020 from our COVID-19 vaccine subsequent to its authorization for emergency use by the FDA and Health Canada.

As for the topic of the thread ...

Abbott pointed out last night on an interview the reality for those anti-constitutional criminals who fled the state to find refuge in the CommunistSocialistLiberal stronghold in the U.S. Capital that has been guarded against taxpayers visiting THEIR CAPITAL....

.. THAT THE LAST TIME DUMBOCRATS (MY WORD NOT HIS) FLED THE STATE they were hammered in the next election cycle. Let's hope so ... we need some folks in there with intestinal fortitude and who will vote to fund the Texas Wall to protect our border from illegal smuggling and trafficking. Some of these fools think they're still in California.

LL- Amen, good sir!

From NY Post

"Two more Texas Democrats who traveled to Washington, DC, last week to prevent a vote on a Republican voting bill have tested positive for the coronavirus, a report said.

The new cases, announced late Sunday by the Texas House Democratic Caucus, are in addition to the three other state Democratic lawmakers on the trip who have already tested positive for COVID-19, the Texas Tribune reported.

The infected lawmakers are all fully vaccinated, the report said — and one is experiencing mild symptoms.

Among the two newest members to test positive is state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, the lawmaker said.

“Today, I received a positive COVID-19 rapid antigen test result. I am fully vaccinated, and had tested negative on Friday and Saturday. I am quarantining until I test negative, and I am grateful to be only experiencing extremely mild symptoms,” he told the newspaper in a statement.

The Lone Star State Democrats left the state House of Representatives last Monday and flew aboard two chartered flights to the nation’s capital to scuttle a Republican-backed election reform bill by depriving the chamber a quorum".

Just drink some more Miller Lites ..that'll make you feel better.
