Rose worries about Coronavirus vaccine price gouging
U.S. Rep. Max Rose joined with dozens of fellow House members in calling on the Trump administration to avoid awarding exclusive licenses for the production of a potential coronavirus vaccine that would allow drug manufacturers to monopolize drugs and engage in price gouging.
“The American taxpayer has already invested hundreds of millions of dollars into developing urgently needed Coronavirus vaccines and treatments,” said Rose, a Democrat representing Southwest Brooklyn and Staten Island. “We cannot then turn around and allow big drug manufacturers to exploit this public health emergency to price-gouge and rip off consumers.”
