there is the tiered pricing Gilead has planned for middle-income countries that will be completely unaffordable for governments, unnecessarily prolonging this pandemic, at precisely the moment we have a breakthrough that could be pandemic defeating, but will not be unless we fight Gilead's greed

Gilead's rumoured price for SOME low-income countries could be $100/yr--this will be completely unaffordable when we focus on the scale of the #lenacapavir roll out needed--10 million people it for PrEP, urgently; then >>

Daily #HIV infections have jumped from 3500 to 5800/day, thanks to Trump's despicable cuts to global HIV programs. In the face of this, #lenacapavir must be offered at $25-40/year (price comparable to oral PrEP) for all low- & middle-income countries

Do you know how the announcement was made? I don't see anything online from either FDA or Gilead.

Sotomayor, dissenting, says the majority "does irrevocable damage" to the equal protection clause and "invites legislatures to engage in discrimination by hiding blatant sex classifications in plain sight." She fears the damage in Skrmetti will go well beyond gender-affirming care, and she's right.

Roberts says that the Tennessee law is not a "pretext designed to effect invidious discrimination against transgender individuals."
IF THIS ONE ISN'T THEN WHAT THE FUCK IS??
