It is easy to demonize Shkreli when you look at the 5000% number.
Yes, it is. Very easy.
And why would a hospital buy so many pills if they knew they're eventually going to throw them away by the 100s?
And what supplier only sells low demand pills by the 100 count?
- hervature 8y agoHospitals HAVE to buy the pills because they need to be able to handle rare conditions if they occur. Shkreli FIXED the issue of only supplying 100 counts by offering a 1 count option. But obviously the overhead of manufacturing is the largest component of pill production. So he couldn't reduce the price by dividing by 100.
