Gilead Sciences Inc has priced its COVID-19 drug candidate remdesivir at $390 per vial for the United States and governments of other developed countries, it said on Monday, setting the price of a five-day course at $2,340 per patient.

The price for U.S. private insurance companies will be $520 per vial, the drugmaker said, which equates to a total of $3,120 per patient.

After this period, once supplies are less constrained, HHS will stop managing the allocation, the company said.

Please try to use coronil from PypAyurved it may cost around 5to 10 dollars....

yeah, I'll skip it

X💙

I guess most of us are the walking dead then...

Figures that it is a drug company named after a 'fictional' dystopian country taken over by the Christian Taliban Gilead

Of course they're named Gilead...🙄

Their address is right on the sign. It should be the next protest site.

Talk about price gouging ! People will take advantage of every Situation , no respect no honor among theives

aaa

Jail the bosses of the company and the major shareholders for assisting manslaughter and publicly name and shame them.

So in Canada... like $10?

The guy who developed the polio vaccine didn’t patten it because he was more concerned about people than profits. You can still make a billion dollars by charging $50 for it along with every other company out there and basically save the world.

What a name for a company 'Gilead'

What king of looting is this!? Thank God it's not the recommended drug plus there are options!

Criminal

And it's only 41 %less effective than hydroxicloriquine.....what deal! Worse product for more money but less than they were hoping.

Read the article. It was recommended they charge ~$5000. You want to complain about private insurance or no insurance cost then demand universal or public option healthcare in the US.

Hmm...this company's owner will definitetly in the top list of the richest people in the world this year!

Fuckin vultures want to profit off of a pandemic also ...these drug companies need to be taken down

So cheap- wonder what the cost of production is? No coverage on that?I mean 500,000 treatments at about 2300 per ... what’s that...2.1 billion on that first set of treatments. Thanks for helping everyone out and taking a hit Pharma.

APPALLING greed

Your death and suffering is their profit center. Remember, you mean nothing, their money means everything. Aren't you willing to suffer to help these people make a quick buck?

Fucking ridiculous. This is price gouging. Taking advantage of people dying to profit at that high a margin. Profit sure by all means by to what extent?

it was always about the money. never about the cure . pharma strikes again.

I feel sad for AMERICAN people. This drug is just 85-90$ here in Bangladesh, one of the leasing producer of Remdesivir now. Instead of fighting for right price, you people tag others who do fight the big pharmaceuticals as “liberals/leftist”.. how very hopeless are you people?

kenm77 What! this isn't covered? Who profits off of this!

Now you know why the MSM fought so hard against the $12 prescription of HCQ.

Let me guess, it's $5.00 everywhere outside the US, right? 🙄

Definitely there won’t be shortages at this price.

M4A JoeBiden

WTF? That's a sin..... Robbery

I’d rather die then give these people money. Plus my cost now for an inhaler is $250 I pay over 300 a month health insurance I am not working retired. Tell me what the f—k are y’all trying to do to us. MOTHER OF GOD. Your animals

vs few $ for antibiotics & hydrochloroquine: not surprising they did everything they could to ensure that trials would fail! OMS Covid_19 raoult_didier

There is a balm in Gilead?

Under his eye.

In India it costs $400.

Life is not free or guaranteed in this world... where does it say that? TELL ME!

SurvivalOfTheRichest

There is NO logical, moral, financial or ethical reason for it to cost this much, even IF clinical trials showed it worked. JUST SAY NO.

must be exclusively sold in the US

$2,340 per patient for Remdesivir drug CANDIDATE that is not more efficacious than HCQ that costs less than $20! The lesson behind this is that if you DARE & stand your ground, your story will end up being taken seriously!

Absurd. The system is broken, and it has to change.

I'm sure each vial just cost $10 to make. Gilead profiting from a pandemic & the death of 100's of thousands is a disgrace. The CEO's needs to be made an example of just like 'Pharma Boy'.

What are they charging in let’s say Canada?

People need to pay attention to $BCRX

11.5 Trillion dollars

Rigged capitalism is a free pass to kill people for money

Mask vs freedom. ARE YOU REALLY WANNA SURVIVE?

Curcumin and black pepper is cheaper and probably just as effective. F the greedy hoarders. Eat a better diet.

That’s nice.

Infamous chloroquine

🤬

Cashing in on a pandemic. Unbridled capitalism at it’s finest.

GILD seen 80s soon.

I’m terrified that there is a pharmaceutical company named Gilead. 🥺

😳 If you don't have the right insurance plan, you are SOL. Of course Trump just filed an appeal to the Supreme Court to overturn the Affordable Care Act--meaning millions more stand to lose insurance.

I assume they can justify such an unjustifiable price!

Of course the pharma corp would make the possibly life-saving medicine prohibitively expensive. M4A

Criminal gileadcriminals

Money grab. What are the prices in other countries?

Shocking for a western country

Yep, that's mean it will be defisit. Plus, side effects.

States across the US have eased lockdown restrictions, 👉🏻 but with inconsistent policies on what can open, where crowds can gather and how much these rules are enforced, the spread of the virus has gone out of control. coronavirus Covid_19 TrumpIsNotWell

Vultures ready to feed on the blood of the vulnerable!!!

Hydroxychloroquine and zinc are cheaper. Too bad they cannot turn a killer profit.

WOW!!! GileadSciences what the actual fuck is wrong with you?

Half of nation avoids vaccine to stave off bankruptcy. $GILD

Monsters.

See? It's all about MONEY

gotta make a buck while people die
