Yale endocrinologists aren't "spreading misinformation":
>“Human insulins are a reasonable option for many patients with Type 2 diabetes,” said Yale endocrinologist Kasia Lipska, who often prescribes the drugs for patients who can’t afford newer formulations. “But the drug isn’t optimal for everybody. And human insulin sold at Walmart is definitely not the solution to our insulin crisis.”
Nor are Diabetes advocates:
>For people with Type 1 diabetes, human insulins “are harder to live on, lead to worse control, make it harder to hold down a job, impact quality of life,” said James Elliott, a trustee at T1International, an independent patient advocacy group, “and not everyone lives near a Walmart.”

You can't hide behind "not wanting to engage in political debate" when you yourself misconstrue the reality of the situation to make it seem less urgent than it actually is.
