martin is redpilling you

Because R&D money doesn't grow on fucking trees.

He replied to me on Twatter once and I came in my pants.

He hiked up the price for insurance companies. He makes the medicine readily available for anyone who truly needs it at absolutely no cost. The media lashing out at him? Bought out by the insurance companies.

assafggots havent watched his videos

>hes never heard about the Genetically engineered trees that grow money

Is that true? Im not saying i don't believe you, genuinely curious

there is a podcast episode where he explains why he did it. A short answer would be to simply say that he wanted to cover the cost of R&D.

He believes that only through selective pressures can humanity grow stronger.

We have been in a period of stagnation and he understands this.

Yes it's true. That's why the media is so fucking dangerous, they can spin a story however they wish and blast it all day and all night on television calling it the truth and even our idiotic government officials will believe it. No one does research anymore. Everyone just believes what the TV or internet says.

the better question is why wasn't the price hike worldwide?

He is amazing! Do your own research bud.

>assafggots havent watched his videos
he was on casting couch?

This desu family.

Martin is the American dream and unlike a lot of examples like that, he engages with and seems to appreciate the common man.

There's a conspicuous group of Hill shills who call him a Jew or a dirty Albanian but he's as American as apple pie.

Because it wasn't profitable.

He hiked up the price to create a better profit off a shitty drug to use for research which his firm primarily does instead of marketing. No individuals are paying $750, insurance companies are and most people are getting large portions for free.

This. People are too stupid to do a little bit of reading/listening to the guy who actually bought the pill, and just listen to the Lugenpresse.

As an afterthought in a Vice interview, he said to contact his email and he'll give you it for free.

There's zero proof he followed through as that's a ridiculously ineffective way to get your pills. Especially what I'm assuming are prescriptions.

My psychiatrist said he's a dickhead. Probably knows more about the industry than anyone in this thread.

He's taking capitalism to its logical conclusion. If you don't like what he's doing, you are against capitalism and an economy that allows for the creation of these drugs in the first place.

>double buttonening
>ever

yeah but HOW does he make it available to people who are dying of AIDS?

>they have to personally appeal to martin himself (he recommends via e-mail)

seems like too many people would be trying to contact him and it's pretty degrading.

Can anyone explain this?^

I don't know if I believe him. I've thought about pretending I have AIDS and emailing him just to see what actually happens. Surprised a journalist hasn't done it already.

It's pretty terrifying, isn't it? I realized around the Zimmerman trial that isn't not just incompetence, it's willful deceit.

Probably because he wanted more money, like most people do.

People who want a lower price are driven by the same "greed" Bernie is talking about. Charging a higher price for what you have to sell, versus wanting a lower price on what you want to buy is the same thing.

A

He's actually more a Robin hood figure in this situation and the insurance companies are the elite who are picking up the tab.

He made it as clear as he possibly could he increased the price for the insurance companies, not the people who need it. Anyone who does need it without the ability to get it with insurance would be getting it with that regular stupidly low price. He's the hero we deserve. Making insurance companies pay ridiculous amount because citizens have to pay 2 grand for a saline solution.

Because the company they bought the formula from was underselling it in huge quantities.

>as that's a ridiculously ineffective way to get your pills.
If I had a terminal illness that could only be subdued by these magical pills I would do anything. I'd suck the fart out of a fucking leprechaun for a cure.

>a pharma executive probably knows more about the industry more than all of the bozos in the thread
You don't say! Anymore brilliant insight?

because he paid too much for the patent on the drug

>REEEEE CAPITALISM GET OUT

This. Also, the drug is fucking outdated and no one took it. Even if someone was using it (It's gonna hurt ya kid) it would damage more than good.

This. Lookup any of his videos on YouTube ahere he BTFO's redditors, he explains in them. There has not been a single case where a person has yet to get the drug.

Also, funny how Shekel Sanders is spewing wage eqaulity when the cuck just bought a 600K lakefront house and sold out to Hillary. How lefties still fall for his shit suprises me

>(((Pharmaceutical))) industries in dominate by a certain (((group)))
>(((They))) gladly put a price on life
>Can't call (((them))) out though due to (((them))) being (((them)))
>(((They))) have no problem charging an exorbitant amount on life changing drugs that cost literally pennies to make
>Shkreli invests his own money into producing the same drugs and charging even more money
>This makes people detest him because he's charging even more than (((they))) are and thriving off other peoples misery
>Except he isn't
>The entire point was to draw attention to just how much (((they))) are pieces of shit
>(((They))) try to defend themselves when Shkreli points out how much the drugs were before he was even involved
>People want to call (((them))) out, but can't because, as I said, (((they))) are (((them)))
>(((They))) decide that less profit is (marginally) a better alternative than the whole thing crashing down
>(((They))) lower (((their))) price which makes it seem like (((they))) are the good guys and are fighting the "evil" Shkreli
>Except it wasn't and it was the complete opposite

tl;dr Shkreli had himself ostracized and spent a fortune to subtly calling out the Jew. A decision he's still derided for even though if it wasn't for him there wouldn't be a cheaper alternative to the drugs he sells

Your psychiatrist is a faggot, like you.

>costs Americans
It costs insurance agencies $750 a pill. It doesn't cost Americans shit.

Yup. People flip out before they hear his reasoning.

Basically the drug helps a small group of people with an infection that typically only comes to the surface and causes issues in AIDS patients. The MSM claims it is an AIDS drug it ain't.

The drug kills you as much as it helps you. We need a better drug, but wait it doesn't make much because it has a low mark up and the market size is small.

His idea, jack up price for insurance. Soak the insurance companies. Use profits to make a better drug or other drugs. Repeat. End result is insurance companies pay for R&D for newer and better drugs.


Media: "CEO raises AIDS drug 800x. Millions in Africa and around the world will die"

Truth: not for AIDS only an infection that can pop up. Only owns the right to drug in USA. Only charging price to insurance company.

End result: Insurance gets govt to call him before congress and media smear campaign.

This.

This will answer everyone's questions. This is how fucking deceitful the media is. This man is a hero. The media is fucking dangerous.

Funny how that really high price isn't actually paid by anyone.

Funny how putting 100 layers of bureaucracy between the consumer of medicine and the providers means that all costs are just funny money random bullshit.

Funny how this little faggot has done more to redpill people on the price of medicine than anyone else.

But watch the media, politicians, and insurers cry bloody murder over a single man taking advantage of the system THEY created to get rich off of.

Money = quantity and quality of life.

You exchange your quantity and quality of life to get money, and once you have it, you exchange the money for quantity and quality of life.

Martin charges a high price for the drug so he can buy more quantity and quality of his own life.
Patients want a low price for the drug so they can buy more quantity and quality of their own life.

So the question is, whose quantity and quality of life is more important, Martin's or a patient's? The answer is neither. Their lives are of equal value.

Furthermore, for any individual, the value of the quantity and quality of his own life has infinite value. Therefore, to compare the value of one man's life to himself to the value of man men's lives to themselves is to compare infinity to infinity, and thus the value of one man's life to himself is equal to the value of many men's lives to themselves.

Therefore, there is nothing more right or wrong about Martin charging a higher price for the drug in order to buy more quantity and quality for his own life than there is of many thousands of people wanting a lower price for the drug in order to buy more quantity and quality of their own life.

Therefore, the question comes down to who has the power to make the decision about raising or lowering the price of the drug. In this case, Martin has that power, and the patients do not. And so that is why he charges high prices for the drug.

I took the same medicine as a kid to prevent Malaria, Malaprim.

When the media started calling it an AIDS medication I wondered WTF they were talking about but then realized it was because Jews.

You're completely wrong. He doesn't charge people who cannot afford the drug. 60% of Daraprim is absolutely FREE to patients who need it to live. The reason he bought the patent for it and hiked up the price was to create incentive for a new toxiplasmosis drug that works better. There hasn't been a single instance where a patient who needed the drug who couldn't afford it was locked out of it and died. Not a single one.

I get your argument, but you're arguing something that isn't even the case. Educate yourself and stop spewing ignorance.

Fallacious.Patients literally have days left, that little fag could live the rest of his life like a hobo and still be able to survive.

You put up a lot of mental gymnastic to defend that little istrionic cuck. He is not a patriot, nor a benefactor, he just outjewed the system

see
you ignorant italian inbred moron

>In May 2014 Retrophin acquired the rights to market Thiola, a drug used to treat the rare disease cystinuria.[44] Shortly before Retrophin fired Shkreli, Retrophin raised the price of Thiola from $1.50 to $30 per pill; patients must take 10 to 15 pills a day.[45] Medicinal chemist Derek Lowe wrote of the Thiola action, "This one enrages me, and I do drug research for a living" and titled that article "The Most Unconscionable Drug Price Hike I Have Yet Seen".[46] Retrophin did not lower the price after Shkreli's departure.[47] In February 2016 Imprimis Pharmaceuticals announced it had developed a lower-cost alternative to Thiola[45] and in May 2016 began selling two formulations of it.[48]

He is lying through his fucking teeth, he just takes over small biotechs, pumps prices for a few years and then goes off to spend his cash in bullshit.
That and attentionwhoring on twitter with his streams featuring his greasy combover

>cite totally different story that doesn't even apply and in no implicates shrkeli

wew

>Shkreli founded Retrophin (a portmanteau of "recombinant dystrophin") in 2011 under the MSMB umbrella, and ran it as a portfolio company with an emphasis on biotechnology, to create treatments for rare diseases.[19][31][32][33]

You should keep sucking his small, greasy albanian dick for the sake of being edgy and contrarian on the internet

>to create treatments for rare diseases
What a fucking monster. How does he sleep at night?

martin is fucking based he only has that price for the government or insurance companies because its the way to make the most profit which he uses to invest in treatments for other diseases. He also gives the medicine literally for free for anyone suffering with the disease if they ask for it

Bernie is still at it, huh?
First taking the money of his supporters, then betraying them by endorsing the devil, afterwards buying a house with their money and in the end going back to talking this "free stuff" nonsense.

And he did, yes sir
>After Shkreli's departure, Retrophin filed a US$65 million lawsuit against him in August 2015, claiming that he had breached his duty of loyalty to the biopharmaceutical company in a long-running dispute over his use of company funds[26][37][38] and "committed stock-trading irregularities and other violations of securities rules".[39] The lawsuit alleged that Shkreli had threatened and harassed a former MSMB employee and his family.[40] Shkreli and some of his business associates have been under criminal investigation by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York since January 2015. Shkreli invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in order to avoid testifying during civil depositions.[41][42]

He pumps and dumps little pharmas, he is not a medically trained professional, he is just a little scheming slimy cuck and the fact that speculating on people with illnesses is a thing doesn't mean it's an ethical thing to do.

And if you endorse him, you are even a bigger cuck than he is. Just watch all the pathetic nu males following him on periscope and asking him stuff with trembling voice while he sits smugly there touching his greasy combover and treating them like shit

Turns out if you try to fuck the system by being too smart for your own good, the system fucks you back.

Because he's a jew, and he does what kikes do

Socialism gets him free stuff, he probably legitimately can't understand why it won't work the same way for his supporters.

Based Pastabro knows what's up. Martin's no worse than other pharmas but he's definitely playing you all for his little schemes.

bernie "3 houses" sanders still making his act? how pathetic.

did Bernie actually say that about based Shkreli

it's okay when windy

He sang me a weezer song on the phone, seems like an ok kinda guy.

He was fucking the big pharmajews over. They do that kind of shit daily. They didnt like it and they shut him down. The fact that he's a severe autist didnt help his likability.

I thought he caused the scandal to short biotech stocks.

FUNNY THAT BERNIE IS PUSHING THAT SINCE TRUMP WANTS TO ALLOW US TO IMPORT OUR MEDS FROM CANADA AND SHIT AGAIN WHICH WOULD LOWER COSTS BY A FUCK TON

Reminder that you are defending someone Trump denounced.

A FUCKING LEAF.

>Trump
>wants to allow us to import our meds from Canada
KEK he's against trade he denounced NAFTA

you want to be red pilled? Go watch youtibe vidoes made by freemartinshkreli

He explains everything

@85189352
1) Obvious shill
2) Trump wants trade deals that work in our favor
3) I'm only repeating what his site says, he wants to be able to import meds again like we were able to like 7 years ago.

Reminder that Canadians constantly post stupid shit.

Because he is albanian /thread

You forgot your proxy, leaf.

But it's true he wants to "bring jobs back" so he won't allow shit to get made in Canada.

because kill all fags

Daraprim does not treat AIDS, it treats toxoplasmosis.

>Retrophin fired Shkreli
>Retrophin did not lower the price after Shkreli's departure
>Imprimis Pharmaceuticals announced it had developed a lower-cost alternative to Thiola

So... what you're telling me is.. Shkreli upped the price on a drug, was fired (I'm assuming because of the price raise) Retrophin DIDN'T lower the price, and because of more revenue they were able to developed a MORE EFFECIENT LOWER-COST ALTERNATIVE...

hhmmm... almost sounds as if he helped bring back research and development on a drug that previously no one gave two shits about, and then was given the sack because of it BEFORE they were able to put that money to use.

REALLY MAKES YOU THINK

he made the prices not a literal joke so he can get money to do stuff like research or make other pharmaceuticals and stuff like that
