https://www.emsstuff.com/epinephrine-1mg-vial-anaphylaxis/ literally the same stuff that's in the epi-pens. In case anyone needed to be more infuriated about this.

Yeah it’s the patents on the auto injector and their evergreeening

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?
