“It’s Not About Killing People” – World’s Biggest Insulin Maker Pulls Out of Greece Following Nation’s Austerity Measures

Just as the BP Gulf of Mexico oil spill is a typical day in the Niger Delta where the likes of Chevron and Shell spill with impunity, this story of Novo Nordisk pulling insulin from Greece is a story similar to what has happened to other, mostly developing, nations that have had austerity forced upon them. I guess this is part of the convergence that globalization demands . . . ?

2. Umm, Greeks don't know about mail order? nt

[girl gone mad]

3. Forced to smuggle in a life-saving drug..

at exorbitant prices because Novo Nordisk is unhappy with its profit margins and the banking cartels demand profits at any cost?

Yea, progress!

4. does anybody have a price list? nt

5. Great. The economic geniuses within the Greek government..

...have figured out the fair value for Novo Nordisk insulin. They decided it was 25% too expensive and are counting on the rest of the world to pay for their decision.

[Celebration]

6. it isn't that big of a deal

They still have insulin in vials. It probably takes about thirty seconds to put the insulin in a syringe and inject it, vs. five seconds with the pen that they aren't selling in Greece any more.

Trust me, this is a very slight inconvenience.
