      Yeah, well, their R&D budget for this medicine cost something crazy like $3.5 trillion dollars, so it makes sense that they have to charge 200x the cost to make it.

        I am willing to bet they took government money to fund this. So I don’t really accept the argument that they need to price it that much to make profits. How much more profits is the only thin remaining to determine and I don’t have a lot of sympathy for sociopaths who claim they need so much.

        Wow, that would make the company bankrupt now. They owe HOW much?!?! Why haven’t they alone tanked the economy? Geez.
