So you can give it to the people for free and be the most loved dude in the galaxy or you could charge people ganjilions of mullah per dose and become the richest guy in the universe.

What you do, brah?

Terrorists bomb a medical facility, the military respond, but the terrorist forces are overwhelming, and both sides end up wiping the other out. There are no survivors, save for the perfectly contained vaccine and production documents miraculously spared from the destruction.

Drunk, you stumble upon the discovery by pure chance. Deciding you're not drunk enough to deal with the stench of fresh blood and gunpowder, you imbibe the vaccine, immediately spitting it on the floor cursing that it's the worst booze you've ever had.

Whatever do you you mean? That would suggest a level of censorship I would consider far beneath GF.

Censorship is just wrong, but at the very least, GF could give me a reason and then I could argue that reason.

As it stands, it just messes things up.

Even making people prove they can't afford it so they could get it for free would cost time which in this case costs lives. Profiting off of medical science anyway should be criminal. In this case you didn't even "deserve it". The topic is that you stumbled upon it by accident.

I would announce to the world that I found a vaccine. Post it online so any organization that can test and produce it would be able to do so and hope that they distribute it rapidly.

Then, I would try to get some donations going for myself; hoping I generated enough good will and karma to get enough to live on and be able to go "drunk scientist" full time.

That way I could help humanity with other possible discoveries under the influence. Those DUI would finally pay ME instead.

Pretty much. Maybe like $5 in royalties per dose or something (on top of the regular costs like manufacturing). That's plenty of money, but won't make it inaccessible to the people that need it.

Nah pharma would though.

They flat said insulin costs what it does because people need it to live, so therefore it has value.

Even if one took no money it doesn't mean it would be affordable.

What I don't get is why the rich seem to want the poor to die off, while exploiting the poor. If the poor die off, who are they going to have feelings of superiority to while exploiting them?

Neither.

Even if you had the formula for a Coronavirus vaccine that doesn't mean you have the funds or the means to mass produce it, so you would have to give the formula away to a pharmaceutical company to do it, and they sure as heck aren't going to give it away for free.

To have any control over it you would have to patent the formula and sell that to a pharmaceutical company. No pharmaceutical company anywhere would be willing to produce and give away a vaccine for free, so the best you can possibly hope for if you wanted to go the "free" route, is to have a timed condition on selling the vaccine that prohibits them from selling it over a certain price.
