It is tone deaf, I agree. But it should be noted that the insulin you are talking about is about $20 at Walmart these days, which given inflation going back to the 1920s, is incredibly cheap. The insulin that is incredibly expensive these days, that people drive to Canada for, is analogue insulin, which was developed in the last several decades by the pharmaceutical companies and is far more efficacious and easy to use. It’s a completely different product, which is often missed when these discussions of the donation of the original insulin patent is brought up.
