Let's assume that a COVID-19 vaccine would cost $50/dose. That's slightly more than the average cost of a flu shot. 50 x 325,000,000 is 16.25 billion dollars. Now let's assume that, like the flu shot, the COVID-19 vaccine is only good for a year, you need a new one every season.
Over the course of a decade, that is 162.5 billion dollars. 162.5 billion reasons for the pharma industry and all their allies and defenders in the media, academia, government, and medicine, to discredit and cast doubt upon any treatment that isn't a patented vaccine.
Numbers only for USA, since drug costs are handled differently in the rest of the world.
