COVID antiviral Paxlovid to see price increase following 400% vaccine hike

The new price is not set, but one analyst suggested it could be up to 5x higher.

After raising the price of COVID-19 vaccines more than four-fold this year, Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla told investors Monday that the company will also likely hike the price of its lifesaving COVID-19 antiviral treatment, Paxlovid, raising further concern about access and healthcare costs.

Remember when everyone on earth started shitting on Martin Shkreli for cranking up the price of AIDS medicine? Time to do the same for Albert Bourla. Everyone needs to know his name, and everyone needs to virulently and vocally hate his goddamn guts.

Thank you for the perspective check

By Victorian/Edwardian standard, Holmes could be considered quite the swearer as he used words like ‘damn’ and ‘hell’. So, if adapters want to make a point about him swearing, if Watson ever does say ‘no shit Sherlock’, it canonically makes sense for him to say ‘Fuck off Watson’. In this essay I will-

I'm a Post-Nicene Navajo Arianist. I believe that Christ was NOT co-eternal with God the Father, and that Coyote is part of the godhead. I actively refuse to explain how.

"Monkey Egg" as an in-game item. The only flavor text in the inventory is "Monkeys do not lay eggs." No other information is given.

­What more information would you need?

This is the best description I’ve heard for this method, I always thought it was bullshit because I never heard a description that actually explained how to do this other than “tap your head 20 times”.

I have anxiety-induced hissing, which sounds/feels different from sound-induced tinnitus (which I have also experience). Sound-based tinnitus actually sounds like you’re “hearing” something in your ears, whilst the hissing I have feels like it’s “inside my head”, if that makes sense. But this technique still helps!!

My ringing just went away for the first time in years. What is this blissful quiet.

wait wait i gotta try this, i don’t think i’ve had Actual Silence since i was like 5

[roseverdict]

HOW THE FUCK

[alex51324]

Reblogging to save a life, and also because, even if you don’t have tinnitus, this is totally worth trying if you like new sensory experiences.

You know, normally I'm strongly of the opinion that everything that's needed to solve puzzles in games – even optional or post-game puzzles – should be contained within the actual gameplay, and have little tolerance for stuff that wants you to, like, scan a QR code to get a secret Discord link for clues or whatnot, but I'm giving Animal Well a pass because "office printer which, when interacted with, sends a print job to your actual, physical printer, producing an origami diagram which must be correctly folded to yield a password" is extremely funny.

The real tabletop RPG party dynamic:

Fucker who makes you wonder exactly what's wrong with them

Fucker who you know exactly what's wrong with them

Fucker who seems pretty on the level, then halfway through the campaign you find out what's wrong with them

Fucker whose deal is actually kind of tame, but their inability to be normal about it is what's wrong with them

Fucker whose unshakable conviction that there's nothing wrong with them is what's wrong with them

Fucker who's just happy to be included, and that's what's wrong with them

zoology is so fucking funny. what do you mean we’ve never seen a baby great white shark. what do you mean we’ve never documented a single melanistic cougar despite it being entirely possible. I dunno man. Anyways a new amphipod was just discovered 92639273947294729 meters beneath the sea

[thenyanguardparty]

we need an RPG with multiple morality meters measuring competing systems of morality. you steal something and you get a bunch of notifications like +1 Utilitarian +1 Nietzschean -1 Kantian -1 Divine Command Theory -1 Aristotelian Virtues

Remember: behind every robot that turns evil is an engineer who specifically installed red LEDs into the eyes just for this occasion

[lytefoot]

Listen, that is a mandatory safety feature. This is like saying, "Behind every building that starts on fire, there's an architect who specifically installed a fire alarm for just this occasion." Yeah, of course.

If the eyes didn't turn red when the robots turned evil, that wouldn't stop it turning evil, it would just mean you don't have any warning!
