Alexis) If you think that Pfizer is just here to help with the covid pandemic and that they are not really about making money, then think again. It has been declared that Pfizer will end up making $45 billion from the pandemic by the end of this year alone. So far, they have made $36 billion.[1] \u201cLast quarter the company said revenue was up 92 per cent year-on-year thanks to the global vaccine rollout.\u201d<\/p>\n How much did the company make last year from the pandemic alone? $41.9 billion.[2] The company has also spent millions of dollars on \u201clobbying efforts.\u201d<\/p>\n Julia Kollewe of the Guardian itself said last March that the pandemic \u201chas created a global market worth tens of billions of dollars in annual sales for some pharmaceutical companies. Among the biggest winners will be Moderna and Pfizer \u2013 two very different US pharma firms which are both charging more than $30 per person for the protection of their two-dose vaccines.\u201d[3]<\/p>\n
