The Pfizer companies fit in the news quite a bit over the last few years because of the corona vaccine and all the health care work they've done but they've made the news for a less than desirable reason this week because moderna has filed a lawsuit against Pfizer because they say that they infringed on their patent for the vaccines. There have been three or four companies that have worked on these vaccines bioentec moderna Pfizer a few others and they all kind of created similar vaccines at the same time and it looks like now there's a fight over who is really going to get the credit for that vaccine.
One of the things that has come from this is the process of creating this is a very high research and development environment and anytime you have research and development and scientists there's a huge expense that goes into creating any technology but much less Healthcare technology or medicinal technology that's why drugs are so expensive. Look at all the ads you see on TV they're all have to do with medicines and drugs and vaccines the reason why is because you have to sell a lot of them to make up for all the research and development for creating that medicine.
You also have to cover the cost of the medicines you created that didn't work right for every one breakthrough drug like the this mRNA vaccine there might be five or six that really don't turn into anything you still spent the money on those so you have to recoup that from the ones that are winners. Well moderna wants to recoup a little bit more they're saying that Pfizer infringed on their patent they want some of that money and they filed a lawsuit.
Where this lawsuit goes it's unknown but it's going to be something to keep an eye on because it may affect future research and development and also Financial liability litigation between the different drug companies.RetryClaude can make mistakes. Please double-check responses.
