\"At the pharmacy, a pair of single use Mylan epipens can cost over \$600 and the company's generic version costs \$300 per pair, but an ongoing shortage means you probably can't find them, even if you can afford them. In response, Four Thieves published the instructions for a DIY epipen online that can be made for \$30 in off-the-shelf parts and reloaded for \$3. Shkreli drove the price of the lifesaving HIV medicine Daraprim sells up to \$750 per pill. So Four Thieves developed an open source portable chemistry lab that allows anyone to manufacture their own Daraprim for just 25 cents apiece.\"\
