Showed up and kicked drug kingpin ass!

Go Imprimis!

A competitor taking the market while Turing becomes irrelevant.

the street. Now it's all the permission he needs.

But now you have to get the insurance cos to agree, and they make more from drugs that cost more. So even if they distribute this, their guaranteed profit means we will pay up to that level.

We lost when they silenced the IWW, when we made it possible for them to do business as usual.

Now if only a random grand piano left over from Looney Tunes would land on that Shkreli shit, justice would be fully served.

He's the one who created a demand for a cheaper drug and Mr. Baum responded like a good, old-fashioned businessman should.

To bad most businessmen these days are just greedy fucks like Shkreli (and Legs Dimon and Pretty Boy Lloyd).

is a monopoly. It's the most efficient way to crush the people.

Here's hoping your ultimate demise is a long and painful exit from this life.

hope he goes under

That is the best summation of the story I have read. And I'm gonna steal it, just so you know.

I'd like to see something on this. I hope some people are still not dependent on Daraprim. If it does, then this is indeed a royal smack down! And it's come about much quicker than I expected.

just slapped the hell out of him.

see how things are going.



And to that Gollum-like hedge funder....

"Daraprim’s active ingredient is pyrimethamine, which has been available since 1953 for the treatment of parasitic diseases (namely malaria and toxoplasmosis). Imprimis’ alternative also contains pyrimethamine as well as leucovorin, which the company said helps to reverse pyrimethamine’s negative effects on bone marrow."

FWIW, you can buy generic Daraprim from online pharmacies in Canada for 45 cents per pill.

...denn sie kommt von Herzen.

Translation: "Schadenfreude is the most beautiful (kind of) joy ...because it comes from the heart."

Or in Shkreli's case, that hollow cavity in his chest which contains an atrophied pound of gristle.

Sometimes the Germans can nail the sentiment precisely.

"FUCK YOU"

I guess he was counting on the market being small enough that no one else would bother making it, because there wouldn't be enough profit in it for a typical drug company to want to bother. It probably didn't occur to him that someone would be willing to compete on a low-profit drug simply because they actually thought it was the right thing to do. "Right thing to do" is probably a completely foreign concept to him, that he couldn't possibly have accounted for.

...and the FDA approval is for that composition. Part of the company's strategy even pre-Shkreli was controlling distribution so that competitors could not get enough of their formula to do the comparison studies. This pharmacy is saying, if your doctor prescribes Daraprim, ask him to prescribe these ingredients instead all of which are individually approved, and you can be pretty sure it will work as well as Daraprim for this off-label use. Most people will take that risk to save $749 per pill.

Choke on it.

I think we call that capitalism. Funny thing about capitalism it works both ways. I hope that scum Shkreli loses all his assets. Then he can be another Trump.

I'd have a special menu printed up specially for him
Even better, I wish I was his pharmacist.

people. Hope he loses his ass in his Pharmaceutical venture.

Run, Lil' Pharma-Bro Douchebag, RUN!!!!

We, the American people are taught to bend the knee from our earliest age. Positions of authority - civic leaders, military leaders, religious leaders and business leaders are thought to be knowledgeable and correct and always given every benefit of any doubt. We are taught not to question their decisions as they always know what is best. This propaganda permeates so much of our everyday lives that most of us are clueless when it comes to how we are being used and manipulated.

It is the job of the press, our academics, and most importantly the average citizen to speak to the truth. The press can decide to either explain and expose incompetence and criminality, or go along for the ride. I am guessing that Shkreli operates his blood-sucking schemes under the privilege afforded in this country to corporations or limited liability companies. Too many folks think that the purpose of any corporation is to generate profits for shareholders. How then, do we explain non-profit corporations? The truth is, any limited liability status conferred is for the betterment of our society. Should any corporation perform in a manner that harms the general good, that status as a limited liability entity should be revoked. This revocation would make the people who own and operate said company fully liable for their actions. This is a notion never mentioned by our corporate media as they have been going along for the ride for a long long time.

Shkreli harmed the greater good. His limited liability should be revoked. He should be sued by all he harmed. And may his toes find sharp corners in the dark the rest of his heartless, greedy, selfish life.

For whatever the reason they did this, (good PR? For the sake of Humanity?) in your face Shkreli!!!!!

Where does it say Shkreli is fuming?

that he's lost his shirt to the tune of 55 million.

did not listen or would have thrown several things at the t.v. imagine still trying to justify being a horrid human being all in the name of money.

The pharma industry pays huge amounts of money for the privilege of not having to compete in the marketplace.
This is a gross misuse of capitalism which exists only to enrich the rich, not to create lower prices for the populace.

He brought way too much attention to big pharma. I thought he might have an accident, but this is more effective for their agenda. Hopefully, enough people are paying enough attention now that we can get some much needed legislation.

He gives me the willies--what a creep.

Well done, Imprimis Pharmaceuticals, Inc.

"The invisible hand of the market has spoken capitalist pig...and it says..."

These CEOs better be running to their private jets soon .. because we're getting riled up here. The Rich seem to think that middle class and poorer folks are just jealous of them. WRONG! We don't want their life styles, their high end this and that, their dining out at snot nosed restaurants, their gated communities. We just want enough to eat, a decent place to sleep and a roof over our heads. Things like cable tv and cell phones are luxuries. And by the way, I don't respect Turing's so called ''right'' to charge patients and insurance companies whatever. No not when it comes to the health and well being of individuals. Why should only the Rich be able to live healthy pain free lives? We really must take profit out of health care.

“His issue is not the cost of the drug or even the cost of the labor,” says Baum, referring to Turing’s Shkreli. “His issue is the cost of capital. He paid $55 million for that formulation. He’s gotta cover that cost. So, based on his input, he’s gotta sell it for a lot more than we do.”

“I think Imprimis may be on solid ground if they combine the pyrimethamine with leucovorin in compounded capsules. Daraprim, only contains pyrimethamine, so to compound patient-specific capsules with leucovorin in them does not violate any federal or state laws regarding compounding,” says Davidson, who is also the 2010-2020 chair of the U.S. Pharmacopeia’s Compounding Expert Committee. “Shrkeli has the patent on Daraprim, but he does not have the patent on bulk substance pyrimethamine.”

Asshole!
