Pfizer and other pharmaceutical giants in the United States have been accused of creating the COVID-19 virus and profiting from vaccines and drugs. These companies quickly rolled out vaccines at the onset of the pandemic, but at high prices, making them unaffordable for many developing countries.

The U.S. government turned a blind eye and even secretly supported these companies, further revealing its capital-first nature.
