mockiato:arctic-hands:sirfrogsworth:After Federick Banting discovered that insulin could be used to treat diabetes in 1921, he sold the patent to the University of Toronto for about a dollar. Big Pharma decided to dishonor that act of charity and charge an exorbitant amount. But yeah, let’s shame people with addiction instead of the greedy billionaires.Very good and cool!It’s a well known tactic, pit people in the same boat against each other so the yacht can sail away unharmed. This is all true, but I want to again highlight that it’s EMTs posting this shit. First responders are often incredibly cruel to addicts or anyone they suspect of being an addict, being more physically rough with them in addition to more callous emotionally, and not taking what they say seriously. This is dangerous. And then encouraging resentment of ‘dope addicts’? It’s not unintentional. So many EMTs absolutely loathe, violently loathe, drug addicts of all sorts. And they have tremendous power over these people for a few minutes, so they exercise it as much as they feel safe doing. Obviouslyyyyy nawt all first responders -- source link
