       So Biontech is announcing they want to bump the prices of their COVID-19 vaccines to about 130€ to 175€ per dose next year. Up from the current 20€ per dose.Manufacturing a dose of the vaccine is reported to cost slightly more than 1€.This means that the profit margin is currently 95%.With the price increase the profit margin would go up to something between 99.2% and 99.4%.We will need more doses of the vaccine since the infection rates are still extremely high, and the effect of the vaccine wears off within months. Many people in the world are still trying to get hold of their first shot, because the richest countries bought up all the doses and let them rot.The development of these vaccines was paid for by government subsidies, with guaranteed sales contracts following from it, so the 95% profit margin contains hardly any R&D, marketing, and business risk.There is *no* reason for them to raise the prices to this extent. A 17'400% markup is excessive for a medication that everyone in the world needs.(And at the same time we are still preventing third parties from making their own doses of the vaccines we know work, because we worship patent law above life.)

       cis people: “I don't understand how trans women can stay so calm while right wingers are spreading shit about them in their face. I would have screamed at them long ago.”Because we're not allowed to scream? They are provoking us, but if we dare to do anything less than politely disagreeing, we will be portrayed as the evil aggressive men in dresses, and our arguments will be dismissed on that basis.We simply don't have a choice.
