I wasn't born yesterday, so going to illuminate a couple of @pfizer's claims:
1) Pfizer got US EUA on Dec 11, 2020. In late Jan '21, they agreed to provide just 2% of the doses of their deals with other buyers to COVAX (that reps the majority of the world's pop, esp the poor). 2) Pfizer hasn't published the prices they're charging, so 'affordable,' how's that being assessed? The closest we have is these prices published by @UNICEFSupply (unicef.org/supply/covid-1…) but there's no price listed for COVAX.
