Robert Reich is criticizing the pharmaceutical company Gilead for profiting greatly from a drug called remdesivir that was developed using taxpayer funds. He notes that while Gilead’s stock price rises due to reports about remdesivir, taxpayers provided $37.5 million in grants that helped fund the initial development of the drug.

Reich is suggesting it is unfair for Gilead to reap huge profits from a drug that taxpayers partially supported, implying the company is profiting “on the taxpayer’s dime.” His statement aims to point out the disparity between taxpayers footing part of the bill for drug development through government grants, versus pharmaceutical corporations receiving the lion’s share of financial returns from drugs those grants helped create.
