Big Pharma Making Billions Off of the Covid Vaccines

Big Pharma CEOs are cashing in by the billions off of the vaccines:

After the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic on March 11, stock markets collapsed around the globe and the Dow recorded its worst sell-off since 1987. While markets have rebounded somewhat, one group of companies never got hit and have instead steadily risen: publicly traded healthcare outfits hard at work on vaccines, treatments and testing kits. Shares of these companies, which are doing work desperately needed to defeat the virus, have seen a remarkable surge in the past seven weeks — creating a new billionaire and boosting the fortunes of at least nine more.

The most notable winner is new billionaire Stéphane Bancel, the CEO of Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Moderna, which was the first company to begin human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine on March 16 in Seattle. When the WHO declared a pandemic, Bancel’s estimated net worth was some $720 million. Since then, Moderna’s stock has rallied more than 103%, lifting his fortune to an estimated $1.5 billion. A French citizen, Bancel first joined the billionaire ranks on April 2, when Moderna’s stock rose on the news that the firm was planning to begin phase two trials of its vaccine.

……The ten billionaires hail from seven different countries, with only two Americans: Leonard Schleifer and George Yancopoulos of Tarrytown, New York pharmaceutical firm Regeneron. Here are the ten healthcare billionaires who have gotten richer since March 11, thanks to their ties to companies battling the COVID-19 pandemic:
