Astra Zeneca is non profit at 3 per dose. And yes, the soon to expire vaccines were donated.
1) Does not mean they were free, you likely have to pay for transportation. 2) does not mean they will be free for the next 10 years..
I said nothing about cost in my post.
The vaccines that do require boosters target the population. Are you still taking your MMR boosters ever since you were born? Every 6 months?
Yellow fever used to be 10 years, now only once in a lifetime. Tetanus is 10 years, but again mostly for people who are at risk, like construction workers, or when people get injured. Rabies for animal doctors and allied professionals, or in case a dog bites.
You arguments are non sequitur, and as such consitute coercion.
I do not go around telling people what to do. but man, there are a lot of fascists and wokies who do.
That would be difficult, as local manufactures pay 40% duty on packaging.
When you visit the local food store , you see locally made jellies and jams, and often they cost 8-9 dollars, while you can even get tropical fruit jam from the caribben for half that. I recently saw a bottle of jam all the way from Greece for 4.45 on the shelf. Why 8 or 9 dollars? I assure you the bottle alone costs about 3 dollars, so your profit margin tanks.
Even if you were to knit sweaters to sell to the richer crowd, your cost of materials is subject to duties and the chinese make their own wool and hardly pay workers anything.
It is more likely that individulas will import items and put it up for sale on the site.
In the early 1990s, when amazon was incipient, there was a business that offered catalogues from Sears across from St Thomas Moore school. Did not last long because they would just add percentages corresponding to customs duties.
Even when Avon was around, you would pay the catalogue price plus 40%.
Maybe this will be special and offer duty free prices.

I did visit the site and searched for the exact item I just received from amazon through a local courier.
Their landed price was 1.20 more than what I paid,
You just run the risk of paying extra for volume weight when amazon places it in a bigger box.
