I watch his livestreams on jewtube often, he told us why he raised a prices he's a matyr that the jewful pharma companies fear.
If based Trump is elected Martin needs to be pardoned of all crimes and put into the Government.

too bad martin is a sanders cuck

Very true but I have a feeling Martin is smart enough to take Trumps pardon and use his knowledge of the corrupt pharma companies and start building a better America

>>27392665
Really cool dude, I like him a lot. At first ironically, because media disliked him, but now that I know more about him I like him even more!

Can't give a shit about any of his opinions when he looks so weird

Nigga looks like something trying their best to look human but failing, like a shitty impression

Can anyone post info that actually confirms that people get his drugs for free like he says in the livestreams? I've never seen him actually back up any of the information he gives.

The dude is super immature. He didn't do anything wrong though, people are just whiny faggots. Anyone who needed the drug he price gauged was a nasty nigger. Otherwise I don't know shit about him and don't care to know. He is just a bump in the SJW/Commie history books now.

You have to separate Shkreli's personality from his actions. He's been very successful and he knows what he's doing. What happened to him has been fairly unprecedented. I work in pharma R&D and it was a riot to watch this.

First of all pyrimethamine's usefulness was distorted. It doesn't treat HIV/AIDs at all. It only treats toxoplasmosis is immune compromised people. In people with healthy immune systems toxoplasmosis is rare and if contracted doesn't require treatment generally.

Second, pyrimethamine was widely considered past its useful even for treating toxoplasmosis in later stage AIDs patients. Bactrim is far more useful for this and very cheap. Pyrimethamine was essentially a drug of last resort, it might be used when Bactrim failed, but in all honesty if you've got toxoplasmosis THAT rampant you're terminal. Your immune system is gone and it's only a roll of the dice what mixture of pathogens is going to kill you.

Because pyrimethamine was no longer useful it was essentially a very niche drug. Pharmacies wouldn't stock it at all. It was exclusive to hospitals as any patient THAT immune compromised would be hospitalized. Pyrimethamine had a very small and specific scope of use. High immune compromised individuals who had failed to respond to other antiprotozoal treatments and who didn't want to die.

These types of drugs are VERY expensive. Pharma companies have balance the cost of producing them with very limited market for consumption. Niche drugs like this are universally incredibly expensive.

Long story short the price hike wasn't unusual. Pharma companies do this all the time. The price of the drug after the hike wasn't unusual. The media took the application of the drug and price increase out of context, "look he's denying AIDs patients medicine". The drug didn't even treat HIV/AIDs and even then toxoplasmosis in these people is rare.

There was just a massive smear campaign to ruin the guy. I've no clue why.
>>
>>27394777
My god. Thank you for fucking writing this shit out.

I'll get a lot of flak for saying this but I frequent reddit a lot and I saw they had thousands of comments basically bashing the guy and calling him evil. Jesus christ the people on that website can be fucking morons who follow a headline and nothing else. They even cheered when he was arrested. This is one of the times 4chan shows a more insightful opinion than reddit. It probably would've been downvoted to hell now that I think of it.

>>27394777
Even if he was smeared in a seemingly unfair way considering that this is routine and he was the only one punished for it, if this story can reduce price gouging then I'm still glad it was made out to be a problem in the mainstream public consciousness.

Shkreli is the based god of robots. He knows how to upset the normies and he isn't afraid to do so. When I grow up I want to be just like him.

>There was just a massive smear campaign to ruin the guy. I've no clue why.

The left-wing media establishment.

The consensus view among 18-30 year olds in most of the west is "socialism good/capitalism bad". The Shkreli story was twisted and distilled into easy headlines which idiots on Facebook could understand and get angry about. They were fed another line about "the evil rich" and simply used it to reinforce their world-view.

Wake up. The people you're told to hate aren't always the ones who deserve it.

Case and point, Roosh V. He wrote a satirical piece similar to Jonathan Swift's "a Modest Proposal" and the media called him a "rape advocate." He had a press conference where he basically proved them wrong on every accusation they wrote about him, then what happens? Do they apologize? Nope. They just move on because people like you are too stupid to research the issue themselves. Everyone has an attention span for hate but nobody has the attention span to realize they were played. You probably pride yourself on being smarter than the idiots who get riled up by Fox news, then proceed to go to reddit and circlejerk about whatever topic the front page has decided your opinion for.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CD6ajfna7tE

Oh and also, your one sentence isn't nearly as convincing as the long post it responds to because it basically boils down to "you're wrong I'm right (insert lack of substance or reasons here"
>>
>>27392665
IT WAS JUST A PRANK BRO I ACTUALLY MEANT TO EXPOSE THE SYSTEM

Although the fact that they actually arrested him could also mean he was serious

As always, I have no way of gathering real information and the media just does whatever it wants. I don't know if half the people they report about even exist. Like Snowden.

Why do edgy fucks like people that the media dislikes like Trump and this faggot?
>>
>>27392665
Can someone tl;dr on why he raised the price of that drug?

My understanding is that he did it because it's the insurance company that pays for it anyway.
>>
>>27395385
Nobody has been screwed out of the drug. People either get it for free or insurance pays for most of it.
You edgy retards are just as uninformed as the general media.
>>
>>27394777
Assuming you aren't making this up, that's hilarious. His antics with the Wu-Tang record & fucking around with Kanye made me laugh. How he kind of placed himself as a figure in the hip hop world as some kind of pseudo-villain was entertaining as hell.

mainly for resarch purpose, and for his own profit as well clearly
>>
>>27392665
As far as rich people go he's alright.

So we can pretty much ignore 'money = resource consumption' as an argument. That is, by buying a multi-million dollar Wu-Tang album he isn't 'using resources' except those involved in making the album. The very most that can be said is he's transferring resources to another person, absolving himself of responsibility, but not even that's entirely accurate.

People love to fellate Zuckerjew for giving <x>% of his *money* to charity. They completely ignore the exploitative methods he used to make that money. Almost all of his money is the product of theft in some form. Why doesn't he redistribute that wealth to all the artists he's exploited for profit? Because that wouldn't be the best PR move to convince a world of dumb-shits that he's some sort of saint-beyond-reproach. He didn't donate money out of the goodness of his heart, otherwise he wouldn't have made an UNBLOCKABLE Facebook post about it. He bought something: He bought image. He still has more money than any regular person could spend in a lifetime. He still lives on a massive plot of land. He's LITERALLY AND DIRECTLY using up more resources than the average person.

Martin Shkreli isn't like that. He made a lot of money, sure, but he lives in an apartment, he eats instant food, and spends most of his money on either making more money or buying things like million dollar music albums.

Yet all these people who fly private jets regularly, who live in mansions, who buy mansions for their children (which Shkreli also doesn't have) have the fucking gall to call him greedy? Politicians, celebrities, et cetera. Fuck them. Shkreli is a beautiful man for exposing the hypocrisy of the rich, and he can actually say he earned what he has because he grew up poor and went to community college.

i follow all of his chemistry lessons, and i gave a look to a bunch of the finance lessons too, they're enjoyable. Plus, he's a qt

The dude's based but he's a fucking faggot at the same time.
>jacked up medication prices to fuck over insurance companies, while giving it to uninsured people for next to nothing
>mocked Congress for being stupid big pharma shills
>threatened Ghostface Killah as a joke, causing Ghostface Killah to get butthurt and make a 30 minute response with his mom
>tried buying TLOP from Kanye just to prevent his fans from hearing it
If only he was more audience-friendly, everyone thinks he's evil just because insurance companies are running a smear campaign against him.

Not making anything up, you can look up publications and general algorhthims for treatment of toxoplasmosis in patients with immunodeficiency.

Pyrimethamine is essentially a third line drug. If you're immune system is THAT fucked it's only a matter of time. You may surprise toxoplasmosis but the you're almost surely suffering from multiple other pathogens. You're goners, it's just a matter of time.

I don't know anything about the guy. I haven't followed any of his business beyond pharma. All I know is that if the media is trying to paint someone as a "bad guy" chances are they have material motivation. They're not doing it out of moral altruism.

See: Cony, Cecil the Lion, Affluenza kid etc.
>>
>>27392665
I like him but I'm not 100% sure what to make of him, he's got so much damn charisma and you can't help but fall in love, yet at the same time he seems fake.
