In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis.

These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom suddenly became a place of joy and hope.

In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.

Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize, and he chose to share half the prize money with Best, who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time. Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

If Prighozin and Putin get a divorce who gets to keep Trump?

President Biden: "Big Pharma has been unfairly charging people hundreds of dollars – and making record profits. Not anymore ... Let’s cap the cost of insulin at $35 [a month]."

In 2020, at the end of his final year at Pitt, Damar Hamlin organized a toy drive for kids in his hometown of McKees Rocks, Pa. This is the young man who went down on the field tonight in Cincinnati. He is a man; not a number on a jersey. Prayers for Damar.

If Trump is running in 2024 it should be in a white Bronco.

It's a deal, but only if you agree to send me $1 for every prediction you get wrong. I want to buy Twitter from Elon Musk, and you could help fund a significant portion of that just with your 2022 predictions.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Cost for one vial of insulin:
🇦🇺: $6.94
🇬🇧: $7.52
🇫🇷: $9.08
🇩🇪: $11
🇨🇦: $12
🇯🇵: $14.40
🇺🇸: $98.70

No one should be forced to take out their wallets for insulin – a life-saving drug that was invented nearly 100 years ago. It's time to end the greed of the pharmaceutical industry.

I'll say it again: Republicans should be forced to carry Donald Trump to term, even it if endangers the life of the party
