Just sneakin' around....
News article today, one of the developers of a vaccine says that when it becomes available, it will cost $40 per dose charged to the individual. Not terribly expensive and I'm sure insurance will pick up some if not all of this, but I was thinking of years past.
Showing my age here.... how many of you remember the SALK vaccine for Polio when it was first developed and released? My family and I , along with every other family, all piled into the local school gym and got a sugar cube laced with the vaccine. I don't remember my dad getting charged for any of it, and it was before insurance even considered covering stuff like that. Unless I was just a naive kid, I believe the vaccine was distributed for free.
Not at all suggesting the developers shouldn't be paid for their efforts, just trying to compare yesterday to today.
