Martin is a real life troll. I watched parts of his streams (when he did them) and he honestly acts like a middle schooler stuck in a grown mans body. Not even a high schooler, a middle schooler. How can he be so intelligent whilst also being so immature?

He's talked about being on the spectrum and takes unapproved meds his company invented for it. I'm not sayin, just sayin.

The cost to develop a generic far outweighs the money that'd be made from the very few people that need this drug. Drug companies aren't charities. A generic in this case would have to cost even more.

Shkreli bought the USA rights to the drug for dirt cheap because the previous owner wasn't even going to make it anymore.

So he didn't jack up AIDS medicine, or engage in nefarious stockbroking skulduggery?

He's not Robin Hood.

He'd never need to raise the price at all, and he wouldn't make people jump through hoops to prove financial and medical need.

He's scum.

How many times must it be explained that the drug he supposedly raised the price on hadnt been improved in 80 fucking years? The cost was raised for insurance companies only, the profits were used for research and development of the drug.

You're wasting your time. People have made up their mind and couldn't care less about the facts of the situation. It's all emotion.

Which is why people have been screened out of getting Daraprim for free and also unable to get it through their insurance. There are people who could have afforded it who can't now.

Yes, health insurance companies are also scum, but you can't expect a $700-a-dose price hike for insurance companies and hospitals and not think the patient ultimately gets screwed.

For the record, the Turing investors are scum as well.

There are probably zero deaths due to not having the medicine. Fatality rates from it are only 750 a year in the US anyway.

free or at a very reduced price through the website. This has been mentioned numerous times throughout the topic.

yeah I read somewhere that insurance companies weren't too happy with the price gouging and his charity. At the end of the day, more people had access to Daraprim after Shkreli got involved. If he wasn't an asshole online, he would have had public support. Thats too bad. He needed better publicists.

Yes. In our capitalist system, it's the only reliable way to fund research on rare diseases no one cares about. Big money investors don't typically take high risk low reward investments. This is how big pharma cures diseases that aren't very profitable. Those people deserve cures, too.

Yes I know this is what has been said, but if that were to be true, why did he not simply say so, that sounds liek something that would do the complete opossite of incirminating him, despite that he chose to plead the 5th...and then we saw what happens next. That is what does not add up to me.

I cannot answer that but the truth is it was offered for free / at a very reduced price through the website. That cannot be disputed. His refusal to answer is not evidence to the contrary because the the contrary simply is objectively false.


I understand, I'm not jumping in the fuck him lol bandwagon but it certainly seems like there is more to it here, the video itself he just seems very mocking and smug in his demeanor when the people speaking to him have very real concerns on the issue, he just simply wlks away, there must be something to it even if we have no idea what it is.
