Fools think vaccine series at $100-1000/each per person per lifetime is where the money get made....

When I see the Breztri has 120 doses/device I already know what the dose is going to be:

The usual Breztri Aerosphere dosage for adults with COPD is 2 puffs (sprays) twice per day.

4 doses/day x 30 days = 120/device ; $676 = 1 month supply

= $8112/year

In the marketing materials the largest number 52% is attribute to "one study of people with COPD,† most of whom did not have a history of flare-ups in the last year". So people who are not really very sick, if you can get them started on some med now they could be on it for 10 or 20 years! Others will get added along the way so this cost will be double, trippled, etc; and this for just ONE disease.

So basically the way these things work is they don't necessarily get a patent on any actual new drugs, you can use any old drugs. (Sometimes they make new drug though.) They make the little plasticdoohicky you squeeze to get the medication, and the mix of medications. (This is a very rudimentary understanding, please correct me if you know better details.)

Under communism, the plastic doohickies should be reusable and refillable.
