Sydney: “Bad boy” pharmaceutical chief Martin Shkreli (pic), who raised the cost of a HIV drug by 5,000%, has mocked a group of Sydney school students who cheaply recreated the life-saving medicine.
The teenagers said they were spurred to try and recreate the drug after Shkreli became a global figure of hate by buying the rights to Daraprim and hiking the price in the United States from US$13.50 (RM60.75) a tablet to US$750 (RM3,375).
