Martin Shkreli BTFO by Australian High Schoolers

>US executive Martin Shkreli became a symbol of greed when he raised the price of a tablet of Daraprim from $13.50 (£11) to $750.

>Now, Sydney school students have recreated the drug's key ingredient for just $20.

such is the case for almost any drug, break patents, drug the world

This is why we need to nationalize healthcare. Corporations take too much profit.

>Australian

>le inbred albanian fuck is btfo finally

BLSEED

No money in a cure, stop shitposting, why's it always Canada...

He wanted this to happen you retarded fucking leaf

>Recreating key ingredient = recreating and distributing the drug
Well fucking memed
Wrong. If you do that you just change profit from corporations to corrupt politicians administrating your national healthcare system, just look at my flag and take my word for it

Enjoy trying to get FDA approval

Fuck off, Shekeli. There's no money in banning usury, either.

Implying chemestry is some ancient secret that only those in power can know

Shkreli doesn't care.

>Australian intellectuals

Now all they need is the capital to start up mass production after they spend years of time and effort on clinical trials to prove it's safe for human use.

uh oh
too bad its going to be government regulations that prevent them from competing with Shkreli so the prices can go down.

Clearly the solution is to pass another law granting an additional power to governments.

The manufacturing costs were always low, the whole point of it being £11 was to recoup development and trial costs while funding additional drug discovery work. Admittedly the increase to £594 was steep but he was straightforward about it being to increase shareholder dividends.

Lets see those same highschoolers fund the full approval process needed to market their daraprim.

they look more Canadian than Australian

No your country was corrupted by US imperialism. Nationalizing industry always works and makes sense.

I came here to post this

There's a 0.2% difference in the number of Chinese in both of our countries.

>Australian
They all look like Chinks, to me.
Anyway, why would we care?
Shkreli is an ass and a dumb redditor.

Your money sounds like cartoon characters, let's stick with the "people"

> All Chinks
Of course it was going to be the chinks to copypasta it.

also
> Australia
> Chinks
Get fucked kangaroocunts

>a bunch of socialist halfbreeds create a chemically impure knock off of Shkreli's masterpiece and lose money doing it while not understanding the costs of manufacturing shipment, and everything else meant to go with it

Shkreli on twitter right now blowing the fuck out of those niggers. Their product is inferior and would never be accepted on the count of it being a shit tier fucking borderline poison being made by highs school students.

> Australian intellectuals

>symbol of greed
only to simpletons.
he just did what everyone else does, but much more noticeable.

>dat one Gwai Lo looking over their shoulders trying to figure out what they're talking about

>This is why we need to nationalize healthcare. Corporations take too much profit.
You're an idiot. We simply need to reform copyright laws.
If you can recreate a cure then you should have every right to be able to sell that cure.
The first patient office must have looked something like this:
>Hur dur I planted a corn seed in the ground, now you can't plant corn seeds in the ground because I came up with the brilliant idea of cultivated crops

First off
>Australian

Secondly, has anyone really been fucked over by what Shkreli did? I hear so much bullshit propaganda about him but I haven't seen one instance where him raising the price hurt anyone. The dude is chill as fuck and is living the life, no wonder so many wagecucks seem to have a blind hatred of him.

>tfw Martin was doing gods work by letting them die rather than continue to spread it

>Austrariar rill gwow rarger

He only raised it for insurance companies though. Poor people got it free.

Why are all the "Australian schoolboys" non-white? You have some 'splainin to do, straya

protip none of them are australian

Looks like Canada.

My dad got toxoplasmosis from a baby raccoon he had as a pet. He was prescribed this drug to save his vision.

His bronze level insurance covered it all except for a $10 copay. Why were people so upset about this again? It's more like the Albanian was jewing the insurance companies than the average American

Oh yes they are

ONE OF THEM ONE OF THEM ONE OF THEM ONE OF THEM

Wrong. My country was fucked over by commies increasing government control and making a huge state, completely unaccountable and with too much power over the economy.

It's impossible to start a sizeable business without being a corrupt piece of shit in this country, there's no free market. Chile was also influenced by american imperialism but instead of going full socialist they instead chose the chicago school liberalism.
Chile is better than Brasil in pretty much every aspect because of that.

One of the best reasons to tear up the TPP, and not the reason Trump used.

There is not a single idea worse than US strengthening its IP and Patent controls.

You wanna lock China out of trade? Just fucking do that and leave it be.

>Your money sounds like cartoon characters

You're going to replace President Andrew Jackson with fucking Aunt Jemima on your $20 bill. You have no right to talk shit about other countries' money.

There's always one Indian or White kid in the advanced science and maths classes, dumbly staring into space, knowing he will always be given a pass to ensure ethnic diversity in STEM.

>An American being honest about how his country really works.

Curious.

Corporations shouldn't put profits over people. Simple. You're a fucking idiot if you think someone should make $500 profit over what a couple of kids can do with $5.

>what is the difference between cost and price

theyre closer to you leafs than us

>australia
>not 50% women
SEXIST CUNTS, KILL THEM ALL!

And who do you think these insurance companies will pass the buck to?

>Science

Two things white Australians avoid like the plague.

If you can't snort it, drink it, bash it or fuck it, they're not interested.

/thread.

Good point leaf.

I liked this

what's a wog

>Australian
When exactly did Australia get annexed by Asia?

Canada: 4.53% Chinese
Australia: 4.30% Chinese

Barely.

>My dad got toxoplasmosis from a baby raccoon he had as a pet.

Dude

he raised the price because otherwise it would have never been made. there are only around 2000 people in the US taking the drug, over half do not pay a dime and the others (around 700) pay their share. it makes no money on this drug.

god fucking dammit whats up with all the misinformation about this shit

Good. Now let them sell it.

Oh wait, they don't have any of the infrastructure to produce and sell it that costs capital.

It might be $20 to do in a high school lab, but it's significantly more expensive to do it on a large scale

Minorities > Women


For the moment at least.

No one. The drug is so rarely used that it's of no consequence to the insurance companies.

If you look into that Jews business, you'll find two things;

1. He's a scam artist

2. His Le Ebil Plan was literally nothing.

He hyped it up himself more than anything to get attention.

I know it was cool AF

It was like a cat but a different kind of retarded

they didn't test it for 5dollars, they didn't discover it for 5 dollars. What they did was essentially build a lego kit from a box and acted like they built a car. They didn't research it, or litigate it, or any of that shit.

the drug is like 70 years old. producing it is easy, selling it without the patent is the hard part.

are you retarded or just a leaf doing leaf things?

>Australian intellectuals

The kids work for free, so get those damn pills made and put them into the boxes lads

A broad derogatory term to refer to people of "Mediterranean Appearance" (Greeks, Lebs, Turks, Italians - hell, even Yugo's too sometimes).

But mostly Greeks and Lebs.

Enjoy your lawsuit aussiefags

Fucking idiot bernie faggots

Do you have any idea how much time and money it costs to put a drug through test trials?

>In the US, the same quantity would cost up to $110,000.

They should just make their own company and sell that

>Recreating key ingredient = recreating and distributing the drug

Yes, it does. All a pill is made of is the chemical and fillers and binders to give it a shape (assuming it's not an ER pill).

>australian schoolboys

how does this work

Hmmm

Oh I don't like wogs then

>"recreating" daraprim, a drug which has been known about and produced for well over half a century and is an outdated drug

HURR DURR SHKRELI BTFO

Fucking kill yourself leaf

>The students produced 3.7 grams of pyrimethamine for $20. In the US, the same quantity would cost up to $110,000.

>The students produced 3.7 grams of pyrimethamine for $20. In the US, the same quantity would cost up to $110,000.


They turned $20 into $110,000

This.

We keep 50 of them in a shed in the back garden. Chinese labor is free, you just have to let them have their noodles and a bucket for shitting in.

Sydney Selective Schools may as well ditch their English language application forms.

>Australian
>schoolboys

>You're an idiot. We simply need to reform copyright laws.

In this case, Daraprim's patent expired long ago but Shkreli bought the only plant that produced it.

Even with a free patent it takes a long time to get FDA aproved. The guy knew this and saw an oportunity for price gouging.

Ni hao cunt want me to throw another cat on the barbie?

>Australian boys
>they're all Chinks
seems right to me

Australia is the Canada of the southern hemisphere. We both have multicultural societies.

Comes from a country with the most affordable, best technology and service. Government's tentacles begin to regulate and demands hospitals give free healthcare to niggers and poor people.

The system begins to fail of course.

Faggot bernie supporters blame capitalism and corporations and demand to follow the model of failure the rest of the world has demonstrated for years.

The same students would be better off going to work for the Bandidos tbqh.

>he justifies a 50-fold price hike for a drug that's been on the market for over 60 years

Dumb Amerishart missing the point.

Didn't the guy who changed this drug price to take advantage of hospitals needing it in stock 24/7 and even the people who couldn't afford it could get it for free from him if they send him a letter/email?

>Shrekli buys Daraprim
>Raises the price for the Insurance companies who are required to buy it to $750
>Gives it away to actual patients for free
>His stated goal is to have an alternative drug developed with the proceeds because Daraprim has extremely severe side effects
>this makes him literally hitler the worst person in the world who hates gays because daraprim is used to treat HIV right (it's not)

The majority of America literally bought into a lie big pharma paid CNN to spread.

>White Australians are all retarded bogans

It's almost like their ancestors were genetic garbage.

He gives the drug away for free.
His intention is for a better drug to be made.

>honesty= whatever I agree with
Imbecilic

The problem is FDA red tape on testing and public distribution. It takes like 2 years for an already existing, tried and tested drug to be able to even have the legal capability to be sold by a company to people. This was how Martin actually was able to monopolize like he did, he bought an already existing facility and started making it while nobody else was and it would take years before any competition would even be able to enter the ring. The solution to FDA red tape is not more red tape introduced as bylaws passed in a fully nationalized healthcare system nor is the solution to kill off private research and healthcare by charging people for public healthcare even when they're on private insurance (like what happens here).
