plans to raise the price of the COVID-19 vaccine by 400%…by the way, Moderna has already approved a $926 million golden parachute for [CEO Stephane] Bancel once he leaves the company.

This is just the latest instance of the American left’s persistent advocacy on Covid since the epidemic began late 2019.
