Paxlovid costs it’s manufacturers $13 to make, it’s research and development was FULLY Funded by the US Government.

They now charge $1651.99 a dose, a 126x markup.

In Germany it is $60 and they still make big profits.

This is privatized medicine... hell.

World's billionaires rose by 204 last year to 2,769.

Their combined wealth jumped from $13tn to $15tn.

60% of wealth from inheritance, “cronyism and corruption” or monopoly power.

They fund political parties, shape laws, plot regime changes

Sham democracy.

HMRC says it failed to collect around £500bn in tax since 2010. Others says £1,400bn.

£570bn held by UK residents in financial accounts in tax havens. Tax dodged.

Companies dodge taxes by profit shifting to low/no tax havens. No HMRC estimates.

Govts hit the poor, don't upset corporations/rich.

"Why should Brits have to cut back on food and other essentials, as many fear these hikes will require, to pay a privatisation tax to wealthy overseas shareholders?"

The increase in bills will pay for upgrades to pipes and reservoirs that water firms argue are sorely needed - but will also go towards paying investors.
