OK. Lets hear what the differences are.
Now look at drugs. They may be expensive or inexpensive, but they can easily be sold at a stupefyingly high profit margin, and, of course, if you have a prescription, there’s a good chance you’ll need it refilled, and, of course, depending on how much a given person needs to take it, we’re talking one drug with higher profit margins taken once (or several times) daily for what could very well be years.
And, funny thing is, this is backed up by data. The article I linked to points out that vaccines only give pharmaceutical companies about $24 billion per year. Of an industry whose revenues in 2019 were $1.25 trillion.
