SIGN NOW: "Don't let Big Pharma do to COVID-19 what the "Pharma Bro" did to HIV treatment!" | Martin Shkreli earned the nickname 'pharma bro' after his then-pharma company mercilessly gouged the price of HIV treatment Daraprim after buying the rights to it. Now, Shkreli is serving a sentence for securities fraud in a Pennsylvania prison. Now Shkreli is looking for a way to shirk repaying his debt to society, by claiming his supposed expertise can combat the COVID-19 pandemic.[1] He's seeking a three month furlough, which may even be enough time for him to acquire the rights to a COVID-19 treatment and massively jack up the price. This is arguably the only pharmaceutical expertise Shkreli possesses. SIGN NOW: The last thing we need to fight COVID-19 is a greedy "Pharma Bro" Let's be clear: Martin Shkreli is not a pharmaceutical genius. He is a vulture, seeking to exploit a pandemic that's killing thousands a day for personal gain. But while Big Pharma corporations may not be as cartoonishly villainous as Shkreli, the impulse to turn human tragedy into profit is the same. Around the country, new Pharma Bros are being made.
