Global Justice Now responds to Pfizer's sickening "all time high" profit announcement

Tim Bierley, Pharma Campaigner with Global Justice Now, made the following statement:

"With this latest 'all time high" announcement, Pfizer now has revenues higher than the GDP of 133 countries, including 8 EU member states, and is the first pharma company ever to make $100bn in a year. But not content with doubling its revenues with a pandemic windfall, they are now still moving to aggressively hike the price of Covid-19 booster doses, putting even more pressure on already struggling public health systems. Their latest record-breaking revenues are further proof that the company treated the pandemic as an opportunity to enrich its shareholders. We can't allow big pharma companies to hold us to ransom in this way. We need the government to be bold and break with the monopoly patent model that fails people everywhere. It's time to put people's lives above corporate profit."
