What would you do if the price of your everyday prescription rose 5,500%? That’s exactly what happened to Daraprim (pyrimethamine), a drug originally developed over 60 years ago, that helps immunocompromised HIV and cancer patients. After Martin Shkreli, a former hedge fund manager, acquired the drug for his company, Turing Pharmaceuticals, he raised the price by 55 times overnight. Shockingly, this type of gouging is fairly common.
This is apparently all totally true.
This will literally kill people, this man is an actual mass murderer weighing a business over countless human lives.
It’s like something a villain does in a cartoon that’s supposed to look outrageously over the top and unrealistically evil.
