An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Pass the Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390

1,047 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

Of all the responses to the economic upheavals of the pandemic, price gouging has got to be one of the most egregious. This is when prices go up, or continue to stay high, not due to market pressures or other economic factors, but only because the seller, renter, or provider wants to increase their already excessive profits.

Some CEOs have even bragged to their shareholders about how much their profit-making pricing strategies exceed their inflationary increases in production costs.

To fight back against what they call “greedflation,” Senator Elizabeth Warren and Rep. Jan Schakowsky have reintroduced their Price Gouging Prevention Act (S. 3803 / H.R. 7390) and are now seeking co-sponsors for the bills.

As your constituent, I would like to urge you to co-sponsor and pass this bill. It has several important features: It will prohibit price gouging on a nationwide basis; it will take aim at companies that have taken advantage of the pandemic to jack up prices unnecessarily and keep them up; it will focus on companies whose executives brag to shareholders about increasing prices faster than inflationary costs; it will require public disclosure of companies’ costs and pricing strategies, and it will increase the FTC’s funding to enforce these conditions.

Thank you for considering co-sponsoring the Price Gouging Prevention Act.

Controversy as pharma execs predict profits from COVID-19 vaccines

Concerns have emerged about access to some potential COVID-19 vaccines after pharma executives from three companies said they expect to make profits from their products in evidence to a US Congressional panel.

Moderna, Merck & Co, and Pfizer said they expect to profit from coronavirus vaccines if they are approved, although AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson said they will price their respective vaccines only to cover costs if they are approved.

The hearing was discussing the efforts to develop a safe, effective, and accessible vaccine against COVID-19.

US-based Moderna is in mid-stage clinical development, making it one of the front-runners in the race to develop a vaccine against the SARS-CoV2 virus that causes COVID-19.

Along with AstraZeneca, Moderna has received funding from the US government to help develop its vaccine, although Pfizer has not.

The funding would make any profits controversial, something that lawmakers addressed in their conversations with the pharma representatives, who attended the hearing via a video link.

Merck & Co’s vaccine has yet to enter the clinic, but the company’s considerable financial clout and the accelerated development timelines for COVID-19 vaccines mean this could change very quickly.

Julie Gerberding, chief patient officer for US-based Merck told the House of Representatives subcommittee on oversight and investigations: “We will not be selling our vaccine at cost, although it is premature for us as we’re a long way from understanding the cost-basis.”

Reuters reported that Gerberding and a representative from Moderna did not comment on the price they have in mind for their vaccines at the hearing.

Representing Pfizer, chief business officer John Young said that the company intends to make a profit from its vaccine, developed in partnership with Germany’s BioNTech, if it gets approved.

Young said: “We recognize that these are extraordinary times and our price will reflect that.”

Pfizer and BioNTech have reported promising early results from their vaccine and are preparing for late-stage trials, scheduled to begin in the coming weeks.

Jan Schakowsky, Democrat representative from Illinois who sits on the committee, was clearly unimpressed by some of the responses, particularly from Pfizer.

.@Pfizer has benefited from U.S. tax breaks and other subsidies, but refused to commit to selling their #COVID19 vaccine at an affordable and accessible price. https://t.co/Q6IE9Zpp7O

There are now 24 potential vaccines in clinical development, with the World Health Organization listing several phase 3 products developed in China as the most advanced.

AstraZeneca is close behind, and is hoping to have its vaccine ready by the end of the year after favourable early data from a phase 1 clinical trial announced earlier this week.

You may assume the FDA regulates cosmetics the same way it does food & drugs to ensure these products are safe? But, cosmetic laws haven't been updated since 1938! #janschakowsky is emerging as a #Safecosmetics Queen, and has introduced the Safe Cosmetics Act – which would phase out the use of dangerous chemicals, including carcinogens and reproductive toxins, from use in personal care products. The answers the FDA provides at the hearing are shocking, to say the least. You are NOT protected. https://twitter.com/i/status/1202638263451820034 #SafeCosmetics #emuoil #montanaemuranch #EmuLove #Safecosmetics #SENPA # https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xgcJSBjuH/?igshid=1sh3kwbg77huy
