Chart titled "The Price of Revlimid Has Increased 26 Times Since FDA Approval" It shows each price increase for the drug since 2006, when it sold for $280/pill, to its most recent price increase to $892/pill. Below the chart is text from the story that reads: "The cost to manufacture each Revlimid pill, meanwhile, was 25 cents. I found a deposition marked 'highly confidential' in which a top Celgene executive testified that the cost started at a quarter and never changed."
This was the point in the @propublica.org story on pricey cancer drug Revlimid where i got angry.
The price has gone up 26 TIMES since 2006.
Yet, @davidarmstrongx.bsky.social found a deposition where a top exec admits the drug has ALWAYS cost just $.25 to make.
