the man who invented it said "it seems fucked to not give this to everybody who needs it" and people are profiting out of it years after his death, it is such an insane thing like brazil literally gives it to you through our state healthcare, and we ARE LITERALLY A MESS, THIS COUNTRY IS FUCKED AND WE DO IT
it is really is just the we LOVE OUR BIG PHARMA WE LOVE WHEN PEOPLE DIE FOR THE MOST BANAL OF REASONS mindset from the US making this possible kind of an insane behaviour
Iirc it’s a copyright on either an improved process or an improved variation of the original manufactured insulin. I’ve heard some say that the “cheap stuff” doesn’t work as well as the expensive stuff. I haven’t looked into it very deep but iirc the super basic insulin, ie the one under the original open anti-patent is typically pretty cheap but it’s overall less effective or not as long lasting.
I’d love for a diabetic Comrade to step in and explain this better.
How much you wanna bet that the same people who tell you innovation can only happen at the cost of enormous human suffering also think capitalism is the most efficient economic system for serving the public good. They actually believe that this is the best we can do.
edit: Or, more accurately, they don't really think clearly about what an alternative to capitalism would mean

this is fair we can't stop the research for Insulin 2: the sequel now or we will be so mad in the future when we need it

It wasn't even invented by an American and it was invented in a Canadian University lol. How can anyone have a copyright?
