@netflix Jake Paul is not a serious boxer. What a waste of time. Congrats to Mike Tyson for the paycheck. Netflix is still not ready to stream a live event. Miserable experience overall
@Friyana_ This was very interesting! Definitely opened up my eyes more towards Alicent when I originally thought that she was a horrible and deceitful character. I like your take.
@Morbidful When Fredrick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin, they received a US patent for it.
Instead of using it to make millions, they sold it to the University of Toronto for $1.
When asked why, Banting said: “Insulin does not belong to me, it belongs to the world.”
@Morbidful The fact that the man who INVENTED THE INSULIN TREATMENT said it’s wrong to profit from it, and sold it for 1$- and now the monstrous pharma companies profit endlessly from it is peak de-evolution of humanity. Shame on us.
In 1922, a team of scientists visited Toronto General Hospital, where wards housed numerous diabetic children.
Many of these children were in a comatose state and on the brink of death due to diabetic ketoacidosis.
As a result of the amount of deaths, scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.
As they commenced injecting the final comatose child, the first one to receive the injection started to regain consciousness.
Subsequently, one by one, all the children emerged from their diabetic comas.
During the early 1920s, Frederick Banting, Charles Best and John Macleod discovered insulin.
Both Banting and Macleod were awarded Nobel Prizes in 1923.
James Collip played a crucial role in refining insulin, which was instrumental in enabling its effective application in diabetes treatment.
Banting declined to have his name included on the patent and opted to sell it to the University of Toronto for a mere $1.
He believed it unethical to seek profit from a discovery destined to save countless lives.
“Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.
In 2019, the average cost was $58 per insulin fill, typically for a 30-day supply.
I am VERY pleased to report that the end of the writer's strike is at hand.
The WGA and the AMPTP negotiators have reached agreement on a new deal.
