Turing Pharmaceuticals and its CEO Martin Shkreli are nothing more than thieves who profit off the needs of the sick. Turing is not the first to do this nor will they be the last. Where are are politicians? Where is Obama? Where is our republican congress? This happens because the US is now a corporate run government using politicians as puppets to do their bidding. It is clear that those most able to stop this kind of abuse do nothing. Therefore it is up to the people and the best way to stop corporate abuse is to shut them down by no buying their product. I have no idea what drugs Turing makes other than this daraprim. However I believe it is the duty of American citizens to stop using any product Turing manufactures. Not knowing all that Turing produces I realize that there may not be an alternative but where there is I urge everyone to change to a non Turing drug.
Secondly, the next best form of protest is a peaceful protest against the person directly responsible for this egregious decision to charge 5000% more for a drug that has been around 62 years. People need to protest his home, work, and any place he frequents such as restaurants, golf courses, country clubs, spas, etc.. Keeping in mind that a person who needs daraprim will now have to pay over $600,000 annually for it. Martin Shkreli, Turing CEO, needs a trip out behind the woodshed but public protest will work as well.
Or, simply-don't buy his product. Let him choke on it.
I am quite sure, based on this, that Shkreli believes that poor people who have AIDS (and probably poor people in general) should just die and (to quote the Dickens character, Ebenezer Scrooge), "decrease the surplus population."
People like Martin Shkreli obviously have no charity and no conscience, and all they care about are themselves.
I think that even a personal visit from God would probably not change Shkreli's mind. If there was any justice, Shkreli would be placed on a desert island with no food or water and left there to die.
Young Gentleman Buys Rights to AIDS Drug, Raises Price From $13.50 to $750 a Pill
Capitalism at it's finest...
'Martin Shkreli took over the rights to Daraprim as founder of Turing Pharmaceuticals, he conveniently raised the price "overnight" to the all American tune of an "almost 5,500 percent increase" in price.
Daraprim is used to treat toxoplasmosis, a parasitic infection that's capable of causing life-threatening complications in infants and for "people with compromised immune systems," such as those with AIDS and even "certain" cancer patients
He's just trying to get in on the party when AIDS increases due to the acceptance of anal intercourse.
