    Yeah, well, their R&D budget for this medicine cost something crazy like $3.5 trillion dollars, so it makes sense that they have to charge 200x the cost to make it.

      Wow, that would make the company bankrupt now. They owe HOW much?!?! Why haven’t they alone tanked the economy? Geez.

            It’s a peptide lol. A bond of amino acids. That’s why Chinese suppliers sell it for $5-10/vial in bulk and still make a shitload of money.

            Much wow, big pharma did drug AI a little sooner than the rest of them.

            Id development of these drugs costs as much as our GDP, they’re doing things seriously fucking wrong.

      I am willing to bet they took government money to fund this. So I don’t really accept the argument that they need to price it that much to make profits. How much more profits is the only thin remaining to determine and I don’t have a lot of sympathy for sociopaths who claim they need so much.
