Lol

Too high would result in too many?

Yes, over production.

What are you smoking

Are you like, forgetting about actual agency of firms

If the government sets a minimum price the companies will produce high amounts.

You think that a firm is going to just produce product they know they can’t sell

They don't know that, because the price is signalling high demand

They DO know that

Firms can read things other than the market equilibrium

This is what happened with minimum prices on farm produce in Eu, they over produced.

Like, the paper. Emails from the CDC

Lol

CDC isn't the only one buying vaccines, you do realise?

Ok, here’s the thing about food

Other private companies will be sold vaccines, the firm producing the vaccines will see higher demand in prices.

Food acts like a normal good

Vaccines are a normal good.

Ok, so to be clear- you’re changing your argument

Vaccines are not a normal good

Sid is automatically right because hes a male

Ok let's put it this way, price controls on drugs in Europe result in lower profits for drug companies. Yet they make large profits nonetheless.

Do you think shortages happen?

Sophie has poopy woman brain

I have no need to engage with your hypothetical example

Because we’re dealing with a concrete example

So let’s be super super clear here

Because they do:
> For patented drugs, external price referencing may encompass the largest impact on drug shortages. For generic medicines, internal or external reference pricing, tendering as well as price capping may affect drug shortages. 9

> Manufacturing/quality requirements also contribute to drug shortages, since non-compliance leads to recalls. The influence of parallel trade on drug shortages is still rather disputable."

We’re talking about a limited requirement

Yes, that is totally irrelevant

What do you think a vaccine is?

A good?

I mean literally

It's prone to shortages and surpluses like every other good.

What do you think a vaccine does

Is that a joke?

Mhm, let’s get in the real world for a second

No it isn’t

This is the real world

What do you think a vaccine does?
