Martin Shkreli makes groundbreaking advance in kidney disease treatment

Martin Shkreli, who was vilified (& arrested!) by leftists for raising the price of a drug in order to spend money for research on other diseases, has now made a huge advancement with a new drug for a rare kidney disease.

I personally suffer from a similar, but different, kidney disease called IgA. There is no cure for that one either.
Martin Shkreli wrote on Twitter that when he was deciding where to focus his research on, he was between IgA (what I have) and FSGS (what he's treating).

I know he reads Sup Forums so I'll just say thank you.
For the record, I had vehemently defended him on Sup Forums from day one, without knowing he was working on the disease (or knowing I had one).

I always thought it was extremely uncouth that even US government institutions like the FBI joined in the public bullying of a man trying to do good.

All because they disagreed with the means (capitalism).

This is how they treated him for it.

based

>by leftists
I hate lefties too, but lets be real, everyone was hating on this dude. Im pretty sure Trump said that he didnt like him

What a cuck he gave niggers money

Wait until you find out how much the treatment will cost.

What rare kidney disease?
My daughter has a rare kidney disease

FSGS is rare? My doctor told me it was one of the leading causes of kidney failure, caught mine earlier though so I'm good for now.

Berger's

assburgers?

Fuck no, I immediately assumed he was based after the media started shitting on him. Like 15 minutes of researching the guy, I confirmed my suspicions.

>defend him at dinner conversation once
>dad listens to what I have to say
>SJW Bernout sister gets triggered as fuck because she doesn't understand anything

Shkreli did nothing wrong

did he personally make this advancement or did he just buy the rights to it?

The first based Albanian since Skanderberg.

>SJW sister
You know what to do.

She turned 18 last week and hasn't been home since, I'm sure she's out doing drugs rn

>kidney

Well he is albo...

>On Sup Forums
>Albanians being praised

Reality is collapsing.

Yeah he seems to know what he's doing business wise , and I defended him basically the whole time too.

But he's like some wanna be wigger irl.

just watched the video of him laughing at (((congress))) pretty funny

CAN'T QUELL THE SHKREL

love that guy

>by a Greek

It's gonna be ok, bro.

I like Shrkeli too.

We can arrange a greekfag meet-up sometime if you want to.

>based
This guy is a degenerate albanian, fuck off.

what company is her running now? I want to buy stock in it

Well, sorry OP, but it is rather shitty of someone to spike a the cost of a life-saving drug by 2000%, regardless of political beliefs

This is cool and call, but he still seems like a prick

What he did was completely legal and was a smart business move.

Also immoral, cruel, and greedy as fuck. Good that he's doing good things with the ill-gotten gains though.

She's getting stuffed with cock. If she's Texan I might have been responsible for one of the muh dikkings (I'm white though).

Reel her back in before AIDS

>Being this edgy and contrarian

He gave the drug away for free to people who needed it and didn't have insurance.

>by leftists
lmao, greek education

Mind showing me some proof? That may sidelined change my opinion of the guy.

*sincerely, raped by autocorrect

Proof and he's a swell guy

martin shkreli hasn't discovered shit

There is a very cheap competing drug now -AND- he made a new drug for a rare disease in the process

>every butthurt aids loving fuck came charging at this man.
>only leftists love aids with a passion.

lmfao, syriza supporter

Use Google. The media did everything they could to crucify the guy.

Find one person who didn't get the medicine because they couldn't afford it. Surely there must be hundreds of articles.

The guy screwed the insurance companies over in order to research a better drug than the one he was selling. Because big pharma refused to research it, given that the market was extremely small and not profitable at all. Only a few thousand people at any given time in the US needed the medication.

>he made
No.

"uring recently announced discounts of Daraprim for hospitals, and Shkreli says that for people without insurance it will cost only $1 a pill. "

Those poor insurance companies

>Martin Shkreli
>making an advancement in anything medical related
He's not a doctor or a scientist.

>The Egyptians didn't built the pyramids, the black slaves did!
I thought we're past this argument

I know he explicitly says so in the one Vice interview. There's also another video from one of his streams where he lays out the entire situation to (IIRC) a guy who has HIV and was pissed at Shkreli for all the wrong reasons.

I genuinely believed, given how backwards health insurance and medical is in the US, that the pill wouldn't be covered under insurance

Most of us fell for the media manipulation. After I actually figured out that the guy was based, I started going back to the news articles which initially made me dislike him. Turns out 90% of the article was blatant lies or simply copy-pasted lies from American newspapers.

Plus he has a very punchable face, which makes him very easy to dislike.

>By a Greek AND a Brit

This is unironically the nicest piece of praise that Albania has gotten on Sup Forums.

It's also worth noting that the drug was presented in the media as some kind of miracle cure that was absolutely essential to every HIV patient, while in reality it's an anti-parasitic drug that treats toxoplasmosis, which is a parasite people mostly get from handling catshit and not washing their hands properly. It is used by a very small group of people, and only some of those people incidentally have HIV.

KEK

More like he invested in the company that employed the scientists who went to actual school for biochem, etc and THEY discovered it.

Stop fan boying for your ugly jew NEET faggot subhuman wall streeter, he had LITERALLY nothing to do with it other than investing in a company that was going to discover it anyway.

You kids are retarded.

Greek shilling for a shqip
Wew lad

...

He bought it so niggers couldn't hear it. He said in an interview he hasn't even listened to it.

>getting baited this hard

Research that surely would have been done without investment, right? For drugs with virtually no market? Because researchers don't need to pay rent and couldn't otherwise find employment churning out Viagra variants for Pfizer?

Slaves didn't build the pyramids in the first place, that's a common myth.
