> Belgium’s budget state secretary, Eva De Bleeker, posted the price list on Twitter, with the amounts of each vaccine that her country intends to buy from the EU. The tweet was quickly deleted, but not soon enough to prevent interested parties taking screenshots, which have now made it public knowledge.

  This is the list of what the EU is paying:

  Oxford/AstraZeneca: €1.78 (£1.61)
  Johnson & Johnson: $8.50 (£6.30)
  Sanofi/GSK: €7.56
  Pfizer/BioNTech: €12
  CureVac: €10
  Moderna: $18

I mean does anyone even care if it's under $100? Given what it has cost economies all over the world it is a drop in the ocean.

Developing economies are probably not going to be paying the same prices.


Developing economies are by definition irrelevant.


Well that's not good. Pharmaceutical companies are typically willing to negotiate on price if the agreed price is confidential.

(I have no idea if that was the case here or not)


Notably, these are prices for the EU members
