Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has made DIY medicine cheaper and more accessible to the masses.

Sharing because I found this very interesting.

The Four Thieves Vinegar Collective has a DIY design for a home lab you can set up to reproduce expensive medication for dirt cheap, producing medication like that used to cure Hepatitis C, along with software they developed that can be used to create chemical compounds out of common household materials.

    You’ve gone to a malicious website. Now you’ve died.

    See, the risks of surfing the web incorrectly are slightly different than the risks of creating medicine incorrectly.

      You’ve committed the “crime” of being poor while diagnosed with a lethal (but curable) illness that you can’t afford. Now you’ve died.

      See, the risks of being poor are slightly different than the risks of not being poor.

        Surely. But let’s be realistic. If you’re poor and sick, you’re broke and have no free time.
