Then, he merely had to go before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and take a spitty dressing-down from Senator Bernie Sanders over the price of Moderna’s COVID vaccine. The company was held up as a poster child for “corporate greed.” For a U.S. pharma executive, though, that was more or less business as usual.

Today, the situation is anythi

Strategický problém: Rusko údajně vyvíjí raketu vzduch-vzduch s jadernou hlavicí
