Martin Shkreli Lowers Drug Price, Is Still an Asshole
Samantha Allen

After raising the price of a life-saving drug by 5,000 percent and becoming the most hated man on the Internet, Martin Shkreli says he’ll lower the cost. Don’t be fooled.

Well, that was fast. A matter of days since becoming the most-hated man in America for jacking up the price of the drug Daraprim by over 5,000 percent, Turing Pharmaceuticals CEO Martin Shkreli told NBC news that he would lower the price to a more reasonable level, albeit without specifying the new cost.

But even in lowering the price of Daraprim, which is used to treat the parasitic disease toxoplasmosis, a parasitic disease that can be particularly harmful for pregnant women and immunocompromised patients, Shkreli is still trying to paint himself as guileless.

At this point, his denial is almost superhuman.
