“It’s Not About Killing People” – World’s Biggest Insulin Maker Pulls Out of Greece..

“It’s Not About Killing People” – World’s Biggest Insulin Maker Pulls Out of Greece Following Nation’s Austerity Measures

Just as the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a typical day in the Niger Delta where the likes of Chevron and Shell spill with impunity, this story of Novo Nordisk pulling insulin from Greece is a story similar to what has happened to other, mostly developing, nations that have had austerity forced upon them. I guess this is part of the convergence that globalization demands . . . ?

3. Forced to smuggle in a life-saving drug..

at exorbitant prices because Novo Nordisk is unhappy with its profit margins and the banking cartels demand profits at any cost?

Yea, progress!

5. Great. The economic geniuses within the Greek government..

...have figured out the fair value for Novo Nordisk insulin. They decided it was 25% too expensive and are counting on the rest of the world to pay for their decision.

6. it isn't that big of a deal

They still have insulin in vials. It probably takes about thirty seconds to put the insulin in a syringe and inject it, vs. five seconds with the pen that they aren't selling in Greece any more.

Trust me, this is a very slight inconvenience.
