There was not a chance that the price of EpiPen was going to go down. Manchin exists, and Democrats were going to have to drive change. Once Shkreli was jailed for charges completely unrelated to drug pricing, all of the gas was taken out of the media panic. Bresch was an excellent choice for a CEO, even without an MBA.

In my experience 99.9% of people I talk to think that Shkreli went to jail for drug overpricing, take some patriotic joy from that fact, and think that one of the results of his jailing is that EpiPens are cheaper. It's like how everybody thought that Saddam did 9/11.
