Yesterday, the CEO of the drug company that upped the price of Daraprim by 5,000% said they’re going to drop the price now. It’s used to treat and prevent infections in AIDS, cancer, and malaria patients.
Before his company bought the rights to it, it was $13.50 a pill. And they upped it to $750 a pill! Obviously, this caused a public outcry, so they’re dropping it back down, but haven’t said how much it’ll cost yet. We’ll just assume they’re going to barely drop it…possibly to $699 or so.

Anyway, the CEO’s name is Martin Shkreli, and everyone hates him. So someone took footage from all the interviews he’s been doing, and edited them so it sounds like he’s plotting to kill us all and make as much money as he can in the process, which is likely.
They also photoshopped Dr. Evil’s hand in, so it looks like he’s doing the evil pinky finger thing.
