Fuck you, Martin Shkreli

"Martin Shkreli was the "big pharma bro" who outraged the world by hiking the price of an essential drug from US$13.50 (NZ$19) to US$750 a tablet.
Now a handful of year 11 students in Australia have shown him up, cooking the same drug in their school lab for about $2 a dose."

Happens all to often with generics. Look at Mucinex.
"Guaifenesin was first approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1952. Although previously deemed "Generally Regarded as Safe" in its original approval, the drug received a New Drug Application for the extended-release version, which won approval on July 12, 2002. Because of this, the FDA then issued letters to other manufacturers of timed-release guaifenesin to stop marketing their unapproved versions, leaving Adams Respiratory Therapeutics in control of the market. Adams was subsequently acquired by , based on the strength of the marketing generated by Adams' Mucinex brand"

Have you seen the price of Mucinex?

I don't buy Mucinex.
The commercials are DISGUSTING,
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
