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 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.
Yeah, sick and disabled people shouldn't live their lives or leave their homes.
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.
