Hi,
Paxlovid saves lives. And Pfizer is jacking up its price.
Pfizer just announced it’s going to nearly triple the price of the
antiviral COVID drug that can help reduce symptoms, prevent
hospitalizations, and save lives.^1 Pfizer executives are prioritizing
profits over patients. This is Big Pharma greed, plain and simple.
Pfizer’s CEO doesn’t need any more millions — he made $33 million in
2022^2 while so many Americans struggle to pay for the prescription drugs
they need to survive. We must let President Biden know this is
unacceptable.

profiteering off of COVID treatments by guaranteeing access to all
Americans.

Paxlovid costs $13 to make. Pfizer is going to sell it for $1,400.^3
That’s a 10,000% price markup.
Drug corporations are making massive profits on medicine people need to
survive. Pfizer became the first ever Pharma company to bring in $100
billion in revenue. That’s right, $100 billion.^4 While everyday Americans
are struggling to afford medications, Pfizer executives are getting richer
and richer.
Big Pharma will always want to maximize profits. Big Pharma executives
will always want fat bonuses. That's why President Biden must step in.

greed!
