You not reading is exactly how you’re manifesting “half-truths” that are simply facts(full-truths, if you will) that you don’t understand or don’t like.
I’m not “getting shit” for these comments, there is a bandwagon of people like you who don’t want to read, learn, or admit their ignorance, and they know that making things up, deliberately misphrasing or changing the topic will get them worthless internet points, which is easier than learning something new.
So count them up.
And just to follow up on your irrelevant and incorrect tangent about diabetes, no, people shouldn’t have to pay exorbitant and exploitative costs for any life-saving medication, and no it’s not because of the amount of investment it took to develop modern insulin.
Older insulin was not the “utter dogshit” you claim, modern insulin is slightly less allergenic and slightly more effective, but again they both are insulin, and the reason the price is higher even though the process is simpler today is because there are a few exploitative companies controlling the patents; in countries with regulated medication prices, it costs a few dollars over production cost to buy medication of any kind. In unregulated countries were greedy people can charge as much as they want, medicines cost much more than they should to simply extract value from the most vulnerable people.
That’s why medication costs different in different countries even though it is chemically identical.
Not sure why you chose such an easily disprovable point as the crux of your argument, but it does go hand in hand with your not reading or learning kick.
