Alex Azar, II, HHS Sec’y, asked if administration could guarantee corona virus vaccine would B affordable 2 all: I’m saying we would want 2 work 2 make it affordable but we can’t control that price because we need private sector 2 invest ... price controls don’t get us there 1/10
This is “free market” theory whipped into absurd warp drive: only those who can afford a vaccine will have access to it. Even if HHS or dt or whomever pulls back and says all will have access and price will not be a bar, the mindset this reflects is sick. 2/10
Dr. Jonas Salk refused to seek a patent on his vaccine for polio. He thought to do so was wrong. Of course, that was back during President Eisenhower’s administration. The GOP was not steroid-driven to gouge profits for corporate backers it seems. 3/10
Another important point: in all likelihood, most other countries will make vaccines available for free or at negligible price to their people - as is the case with most pharmaceutical drugs developed and sold by U.S. pharma. 4/10
As Professor Sheila Suess Kennedy recently noted, Big Pharma spends more on PR than on R & D. So even the premise - we have to pay higher prices to ensure vaccines are developed - is without validity. 5/10
We subsidize these corporations. This is a crisis. With even a two percent (2%) mortality rate, COVID-19 is highly contagious and stands to kill a lot of people the World over. We should not have to pay admission to the party of “life.” 6/10
Pandemics R broad in scope/> amenable 2 unified, nat’l responses - best addressed by Fed gov’t. Yet the announcement by current occupant of the Oval Office (a/k/a dt) seemed to make the States the public entities tasked with the battle. 7/10
What is worst: in 2018 dt sacked CDC pandemic response team to cut government costs. To eliminate agencies and programs that have prospective purposes for things such as pandemics is grossly irresponsible. 8/10
VP/former Indiana Gov Pence is to lead effort. Pence has experience w/contagion - he bungled efforts to address HIV in southern Ind. It is too much to hope he learned from his mistakes - dt picked Pence because Indiana has such great health care. 9/10
I’m Mark Small. I’m a candidate in the May 5 primary for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. We need to reinstate the pandemic response team - and otherwise hope COVID-19 is contained. I approve of this blog. Hell, I wrote it. 10/10
