    Must be from a non-developed country. This kind of thing doesn’t happen in the 30 developed countries with a legitimate healthcare system in place.

    • Canadian here.

      We got 2 of them for our kid. We didn’t have private insurance at the time. I think they were 50$ each. We thought THAT was expensive.

      1000$…wow… And that stuff expires quickly too.

      You can’t even buy the vial at that price unless you have a license or DEA number. It probably costs a lot more for a regular person.

        The point is it could be super cheap for people but its not purely because of profits.

        People pay more for the injector than the drug.

        The real (rhetorical) question is how much does the need for profit outweigh peoples actual lives?

    If you have that many dangerous allergies I am not sure why you would go to any restaurant anymore.

    Still, healthcare there is obviously fucked.

        No but i would rather be alive and cook at home than go to a restaurant and die if i was that person.

          They did point out that they believed the food to be safe in the restaurant.

          They might have thought everything was above board, but it turned out to not be the case.

            But you forget that the guy chose to have his allergies, just like his sister chose to be too poor for basic modern medicine.

            The true victims are the restaurant (I bet they ran out on the bill when he had “almost” anaphylaxis) and Pfizer for having their good name slandered on the internet.

        No, but if there’s a decent possibility that you might die if someone is not careful with your food, and you don’t have access to an epi pen, then why risk your life for a single meal?

        Right, this is a total binary question, there is obviously no nuance in how sick or disabled someone is so just kill them all and be done with it… /s in case someone misses the obvious sarcasm.
