I was very lucky to be randomised onto Paxlovid on a trial last year. It works very well and not only reduced length of COVID symptoms and testing +ve, but also the lingering effects I had from my first infection.
The gouging needs to stop so that important meds are affordable.
Paxlovid costs it’s manufacturers $13 to make, it’s research and development was FULLY Funded by the US Government.

They now charge $1651.99 a dose, a 126x markup.

In Germany it is $60 and they still make big profits.

This is privatized medicine... hell.

Is this like… “I’m not gay, my wife is?” 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️
Extraordinary quote in the FT profile of Alice Weidel - the AFD candidate for German Chancellor.

Asked to explain how her being married to a woman fitted with the party's "anti-woke" philosophy an official said:

"She is just gay by biology but not by political conviction."

Someone should explain this to Jeremy Hunt. The once “remainer” seems to think that Brexit hasn’t really been that bad.

Nothing says ‘patriotic’ like wanting British people to die in unspeakable agony because an international court contains some international judges.
Robert Jenrick says that the assisted dying legislation if passed “will be subject to activist judges in Strasbourg.”

BREAKING
Revised Royal College of Physicians of London position on Physician Associates. TL;DR: we shifted them considerably towards a safer position. It’s too little too late but a LOT better than nothing.

"As a public official, I take no position on #Brexit, but I do have to point out consequences. The impact on trade underlines why we must be alert to and welcome opportunities to rebuild relations."

So if it's a trade choice between:

a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and

b) European food, beer & wine...

...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

Good morning, Bluesky! 🦋

Starter packs are great— but do take the time to:

1) Look up fav influencers and hunt in their followers to find your friends.

2) follow back (as much as reasonable)

3) Engage in conversations

It’s important to build real mutually-supportive & engaged community here.
