	Do you think the ~$20/dose Pfizer and Moderna are charging is unreasonable?

At $20/dose you can vaccinate all of humanity twice for $300B. An incredible bargain.

The US government has spent $5300B in pandemic relief packages. Vaccinating the planet could have been a cheap PR win barely noticed among that.

Except there just isn't production capacity for that on the planet.

But it's not like we're fully utilizing the available production capacity.

For poor people in India or Africa - yes.
