No pharma profiteering off this pandemic

Pandemic Profiteers are everywhere

Friend, The coronavirus pandemic is a crisis like we've never seen before. So unsurprisingly, pharmaceutical corporations are trying to profit off this crisis—and unfortunately they have some key allies in the White House. SIGN HERE: Don't let pharma get away with relentless COVID-19 profiteering. SIGN NOW While there are many pharma jerks who are trying to ensure corporations can profiteer off of this crisis, here are five who need to be called out right now: Daniel O'Day O'Day is the CEO of Gilead Sciences. Gilead is currently trying to see if remdesivir, an antiviral drug, can be used to treat COVID-19. Not only was remdesivir developed with taxpayer money (like all US drugs), but Gilead tried to get a seven year monopoly on remdesivir and only backed down after public outcry. Alex Azar Azar is the former CEO of Eli Lilly, the infamous insulin price gouger.During his tenure as head of Eli Lilly, insulin prices doubled. Now, he serves as Trump's Secretary of Health and Human Services. Azar would not commit to ensuring any COVID-19 treatments or vaccines would be free or affordable—clearly putting his pharma friend's interests over the health of the American people.   Joe Grogan Grogan is the director of the United States Domestic Policy Council, an assistant to President Donald Trump, and is on the Coronavirus Task Force. Grogan is also a former Gilead lobbyist. Wonder why Gilead was given the seven year monopoly on a COVID-19 treatment... Ian Reed Reed is the CEO of Pfizer Inc., a pharma corporation working on a COVID-19 vaccine. Pfizer is a notorious price gouger, even on cancer treatments. They cannot be trusted. Alex Gorsky Gorsky is the CEO of Johnson & Johnson, a pharma corporation also working on a COVID-19 vaccine. And just like Pfizer, J&J is of course a shameless price gouger, including their cancer treatment. They also cannot be trusted. Tell pharma jerks to put people's lives first. We can't allow any profiteering off of the COVID-19 pandemic. People's lives must come before profit.
