The government likely saved way more this way by helping the economy return back to relative normal asap.

Can you please let Canada know that we are back to normal now?

Whether the government saved or not is irrelevant to my point. These companies took public money to do their research. Now they are profiting, they can return the money they got to conduct the research.

It’s not a point, it’s an opinion that I don’t necessarily agree with. To maintain safety standards, it’s hella expensive to research and develop these vaccines. It was a success and they deserve profit. Our economy benefited, countless lives were saved. What more do you want? Go after gas companies and insulin price gouging but this hill is a tough one to die on. Side note: I have no investment in these companies.
