macker if you want to start a crazy conspiracy thread about "big pharma" and such go ahead, but I don't want this thread gummed up with that garbage.

I don't mean to gum up the thread, but that's not necessarily true. Sure it costs more for 2 weeks of care than it does for one vaccine, but if hundreds f millions of people get the vaccine more profit can be made based on volume. A patient for 2 weeks is also not guaranteed to be getting the drugs manufactured by company x, so that's a factor.
I don't really think there's a mass conspiracy, but I do think there's much more panic and fear mongering going on than is warranted. That's apr for the course in the world of the 24 hour news cycle.
