U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders sent Moderna Inc (MRNA.O) a letter this week asking the drug company to halt planned U.S. price increases on its COVID-19 vaccine, saying price hikes could make the shot unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Sanders said in his letter that raising prices would be particularly egregious after the U.S. government provided around $1.7 billion to fund development of the vaccine. The letter was addressed to Moderna Chief Executive Stephane Bancel.

"You propose to make the vaccine unaffordable for the residents of this country who made the production of the vaccine possible," wrote Sanders, who is set to become chairman of the Senate's Health, Education, Labor and Pensions later this month. "That is not acceptable."

Moderna has not settled on a price yet, but Bancel has said that a range of $110 to $130 a dose for the vaccine once the United States moves to a commercial market for the shots is reasonable given the value they create.

The top end of that range is around eight times the price in the earliest U.S. contracts for the vaccine and nearly five times the roughly $27 a dose the government paid for booster shots last year.

"While we are still in discussions with stakeholders on the price of our COVID-19 vaccines, Moderna is committed to pricing that reflects the value that COVID-19 vaccines bring to patients, healthcare systems, and society," Moderna said in an emailed statement.

The company said that under the Affordable Care Act, its COVID-19 shots will continue to be available at no cost for most Americans.

Sanders is a democratic socialist whose presidential campaigns have pushed the U.S. Democratic Party agenda leftward. The Vermont Senator has railed against high drug prices and backed Medicare-for-all, and his chairmanship of the HELP committee could put drug companies in his crosshairs.

Sanders wrote that Bancel and several of Moderna's founders have become billionaires after the vaccine's launch. He said the higher prices would cost U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars and make the shots too expensive for uninsured and underinsured Americans.

"Now, in the midst of a continuing public health crisis and a growing federal deficit, is not the time for Moderna to be quadrupling the price of this vaccine. Now is not the time for unacceptable corporate greed," Sanders wrote.

Moderna's COVID-19 vaccine sales were around $18.4 billion in 2022. That is expected to fall sharply next year even with the price increases, as demand for the shots has dropped off. The drugmaker said on Monday it expects a minimum of $5 billion in revenue from the shots this year.

Bernard is the one who handles the spiders. Tim can handle many things, but spiders is not one of them

He can’t handle them *well.*

He, of course, protests this statement. C4 and swords stolen from his brother are perfectly acceptable solutions, Bernard

#tim drake #bernard dowd #I’m totally picturing a Bernard that doesn’t yet know their identities #he just sees Tim show up with a sword in one hand and c4 in the other #where’d you get that? he asks #Tim: I borrowed it from damian and Jason #Bernard:#Bernard: yeah okay #Tim accidentally mentions something about the council of spiders #Bernard: I don’t think spiders have a council #oh just you wait Bernie boy #Tim’s going to give your little conspiracy theory heart everything it could ever desire #now I want bernard to find out pretty much everything especially the league of assassins and Ra’s al ghul #but then come to the absolutely wrong-est conclusions possible #Ra’s would have a conniption #Tim would think it was hilarious #Bruce would ask Tim to please stop antagonizing the league of assassins #Tim would flip him off but Bruce put in his token protest so he’s done his duty #Jason would volunteer his services in the continuing antagonizatikn efforts #Steph would be watching all of this with popcorn #sorry I got way off track #I too do not care for spiders and feel like explosions are a valid strategy

mini interest check!!

interact with this post if you are interested in participating in a POC-focused top gun creation (fics art etc) event- the rules are at least one of the primary characters in the work (romantic or platonic) isn’t white. doesn't have to be ship-oriented either :)

stop telling people that voting doesn't matter stop it stop it

incremental change is frustrating and feels like it gets nothing done but it's how the american government works (for better or for worse) and if you get paralyzed by 'we need to revolt voting doesn't matter' that's one more effective vote for the fascists since it's one vote we lose.

I'd much rather have slow but tangible progress (or even just prevention of fascist progression) than everyone sitting around going 'let's wait for the revolution' when no revolution is likely to come while everything gets worse around us.

Obviously, still do whatever it is else to support the antifascist movement. Donate where you can (and do your research!) Go to protests if you feel safe doing so. But do all that AND vote.

#the fash got this prominent because they incrementally voted in worse and worse people until being horrible was normalized #we have to do that in reverse #SPLITTING THE VOTE DOES NOT WORK EITHER #50% DEMOCRAT VOTE GOING TO BIDEN AND 50% GOING TO BERNIE MEANS TRUMP OR WHOEVER WINS BECAUSE 100% OF REPUBLICANS WILL VOTE FOR HIM #AND YEAH. IT'S FRUSTRATING. I KNOW. IT SUCKS.#and some ostensibly blue politicians kinda suck #(which means. vote in primaries so we get someone who doesn't kinda suck)#BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD VOTE #antifascist #tw politics #conservatives don't touch this post #let's play a fun game of will this get me shadowbanned #(if it does. uhm. can someone tell me how to appeal it)#serious post

Georgia Senate race really be like

Edit 12/07/2022: Hell Yeah Warnock won

#in all seriousness I'm glad the democrats did better than expected last night #the gop will probably take the house but hopefully not too big of a majority #and Pennsylvania voted blue for the senate!!!#also super happy that the state measures for abortion were pro choice - even in a state like Kentucky holy shit #also the night went bad for trump but went great for desantis #i hate them both though #its too close to call for Arizona and Nevada but hopefully the dems can get those seats and keep the senate #because id rather have incompetent dems than a gop that's literally a death cult and wants to murder lgbt people #us politics #bernie sanders #2022 midterm elections #Georgia #raphael warnock #herschel walker #republican copium #no red wave #kung pow penis #runoff elections
