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.

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