I saw this video recently: https://www.facebook.com/jolene.merrill.585/videos/10215009541232420/
This mom is super furious that the price of her son's insulin has shot up to be 10X more expensive since Biden was "inaugurated." She's encouraging patriots to get mad and do something about this corrupt bastard usurper.
Somebody also posted this video on a forum I regularly visit. Unfortunately, there's a closet-leftist who's trying to spread the following line of BS:
As it turns out, our country is actually being destroyed by people who don’t do their homework before posting inflammatory conspiracy theories on the internet. Did you notice that the fact-checking sites agree that "Biden White House Freeze of Trump Executive Order Did NOT Cause Insulin Prices To Increase." See for example: https://leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2021/02/fact-check-biden-white-house-freeze-of-trump-executive-order-did-not-cause-insulin-prices-to-increase.html
It’s easy to say: "Our country is being destroyed by evil people," but it’s irresponsible and bad to get everyone worked up over something that’s really only a selfish attempt to confirm our biases. It’s that kind of false narrative that sent those knucklehead "patriots" to stop a peaceful transition of power at the Capital and lynch those that don't agree with them.
Posting this video and piling-on puts a real strain on your credibility. I wonder who really needs to repent so God is actually able to preserve our Nation and Constitution.
I FULLY believe that Biden is responsible for the increased price of insulin - this is just COMMON SENSE. But I want to tell off this idiot in a way that is logical and have the facts behind me to prove my case. Anybody who wants to help me pin down this idiot with logic and facts, feel free to post a comment and enlighten me.
Tell them to quit lying. Ask them to read the damn executive orders, and stop relying on propaganda outlets for their “information” then block them. You cannot fix stupid.
There are 7 billion people on the planet.
Stop talking to shitbags.
Fact checkers didn't exist until too much truth started getting out
They lost me at fact checkers anybody who takes any fact checker serious has no merit with me period!
BINGO. What they are saying is they are not smart enough or don't trust themselves to do the work to come to a conclusion. So they outsource it to a " fact checker ".
Hit that magnifying glass in the upper right hand corner and type in insulin, you will get eight results, including yours.

I didn’t read the BS you quoted (I’ve had enough of for one day, lol)... but since these people prefer to get their information from the MSM - here’s an article from MSN admitting that Biden’s freeze will make insulin costs go up:
Then follow it up with Marketwatch’s assessment of prescription drug costs - I’m curious how they’re going to refute a site whose sole purpose is to watch the market! Only an idiot would embarrass themselves, lol. Because you know they won’t read it... let them know that it’s not your opinion - but Marketwatch reported in 2019 that prescription costs were falling for the 1st time in 47 years BECAUSE of the heat coming down from President Trump for them to reign in their prices.
And no harm giving them a resource from a .gov to show Trump kept his promise to force these companies (wait - didn’t Biden receive funding from one on the insulin companies!) by 4 EOs to lower their costs - yes, the ones Biden froze.
And just so that they have all the necessary information to be talking shit about something they clearly don’t know shit about - I’d link to them to the source:
And close by asking them a real stupid question (that’ll make them look stupid for even responding to), with something like: After getting heat for years from Trump to lower the cost of life saving medicines and facing 4 of his EOs that would force them to reduce the costs even more - what do you think they did when Biden froze Trump’s EO’s? They celebrated by removing discounts Trump forced them to provide!
Simple: before Jan 20 prices were cheaper than they are today.
Say whatever you want. If I paid more for stuff today than I did a month ago, I'm going to blame it on that one event when before Trump, these prices were where they now are again.
It’s in one of the 47,294 EO’s Biden signed a week or two ago. Very clearly. Insulin and epinephrine have been brought back to their former, Big Pharma, overly expensive glory.

The “fact checking site says it’s not true for 2 reasons:
I take the first one to mean that Trump wrote an EO to lower prices of insulin that would take effect January 22nd, and Biden cancelled it. So prices didn’t go down, and it sounds like they actually went up, thanks to Biden.
Who does the second one apply to?
Here is the archived version of the executive order Trump signed to lower drug prices. Of course, it has been removed from the white house web site. It took Potus Trump longer to accomplish this than he had hoped, due to bureaucracy, contracts, red tape, etc. But he finally got it done and it meant that Americans would not have to pay any more than 'favored nations.' We had been subsidizing other countries for years.

Here's an article (not msm - good luck finding any of them telling the truth about this) about biden blocking Trump's order.

Then ask your 'friend' if he thinks this was a good thing for American people.
