instead you have to produce biosimilars which are much harder to get approved

Thats a video from them talking about at-home dna tests and what the implications are

WHY IS IT ALWAYS THE FUCKING FDA

2019-12-04 23:36:07 UTC  

They're actually a pretty cool channel. Probably a whole different staff from the main Verge channel.

@Eirshy The double edged sword that is the FDA

2019-12-04 23:37:53 UTC  

And yeah sounds it. If they were willing to actually delve into the real why's on a drug price rather than just reeing communist talking points, I'd be surprised if they had any significant staff overlap outside of maybe video/audio editors.

The price of insulin is high because its a somewhat small market. Few companies provide most of the supply and keep making patents to try and keep profit margins high. It's essentially abuse of the patent system

2019-12-04 23:39:55 UTC  

combined with a market that is difficult to enter because of regulation on what insulin is

2019-12-04 23:41:00 UTC  

this team they showed were using genetic engineering to try and create new insulin-producing bacteria to try and enter the market with an insulin that anyone can produce

their intention is to incentivize a system where many people in small plants are making insulin instead of huge, few plants

I mean so far Verge Science has managed to be less biased than Hank Green on scishow

2019-12-04 23:45:32 UTC  

That vid was silly, but also fair enough to figure out the issue rather than just rage at it. With thus in mind, it's not bad *programming* neccesarily- it's probably more of a feature in order to prevent piggybacking & other such nonsense.
