People who think the govt made a big mistake by apparently "rejecting" Pfizer, are also the ones who want price control as companies will make "super profits"
But Pfizer withdrew the EUA req precisely cause they didnt want price control/caps, not just due to the trials demand

"At $37 per dose, the Pfizer vaccine is much more expensive compared to $3 per dose for the Covishield, a vaccine developed by Oxford-AstraZeneca and manufactured by the Serum Institute of India" https://wap.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/centre-may-not-procure-pfizer-biontech-covid-vaccine-over-high-cost-120121400032_1.html">https://wap.business-standard.com/article/c...

"Unlike others, Pfizer would require minus 70 degree Celsius temperature for storage. According to Bernstein analysts, the Indian government is likely to procure 680 million doses, implying a spend of $1.9 billion for the government, assuming a dose costs $3."
At $37 per dose, the cost would be 12-times more. If the government chooses to vaccinate the entire population, it would need to set aside $6 billion (at $3 per dose).
Don& #39;t believe this report? How about the most trusted reports by the most credible publishers ever?

In the US, the company has priced the vaccine at $19.5 ( âč1,440) per dose.
While Pfizer has not declared its pricing for India, the cost in the US is over six times than of the $3 per dose Serum Institute of India is expected to charge the government for Covishield

"Pfizer has told the Indian government it wants to produce its coronavirus vaccine locally if assured of faster regulatory clearance and freedom on PRICING and EXPORTS, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters."
Two things this specific group hates.
