Gilead has announced that lenacapavir, the game-changing HIV prevention drug just approved by the FDA will cost $28,218 USD per person per year. Researchers say a generic version could be made for just $25 per person a year. Capitalism kills.

Lenacapavir is already sold as a treatment for H.I.V. infections that are resistant to other medications, at roughly $42,000 per patient per year. (Few individuals pay the full cost.)

Lenacapavir taken to prevent H.I.V. infection, a regimen called pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, will be sold at a list price of $28,218, according to Gilead.

Aids and HIV
‘HIV-ending’ drug could be made for just $25 per patient a year, say researchers
As regulator prepares to approve lenacapavir in the US, campaigners are urging the manufacturer, Gilead, to make it ‘available and affordable for all who need it’

Masked agents in unmarked cars disappearing people from the street and shipping them to a dictator’s prison. Executive branch officials blowing off federal court orders, wrestling members of Congress to the ground and handcuffing them for asking a question. Smells like fascism.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

If you’re participating in No Kings this weekend, document everything. Upload to social media, but store in another more secure place. Keep a hard copy. Back it up. Tell your story. Write down atrocities by hand if you can. Keep it somewhere safe. Future generations are counting on us.

I’m horrified by the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers at an event in DC last night. The fact that the gunman said he did it to “free Palestine” makes me nauseous. Murdering people for their nationality is never acceptable and this violence hurts Jews, Israelis, *and* Palestinians.

Since we can’t rely on the HHS, CDC, or FDA to say it, I will: MAKE SURE YOU ARE VACCINATED AGAINST MEASLES. GET YOUR MMR. The measles surge in the southwest is now the SINGLE LARGEST OUTBREAK since 2000 and the United States is now at the tipping point for the return of ENDEMIC measles.

Elon Musk explicitly calls for the genocide of trans people smh says it's time for them to die.

A screenshot of a tweet by Elon Musk, replying to a post by John LeFevre. Musk writes: “This is the woke mind virus in action. Now, it is time for the mind virus to die.” LeFevre’s post includes a chart titled “Figure 2: Percent of U.S. adults identifying as transgender, by birth year,” sourced from the CDC’s Behavioral Risk Surveillance Survey. The graph shows a sharp rise in the percentage of people identifying as transgender among those born after the year 2000. The tweet claims this reflects "social contagion."

If you want to fight fascism, ableism and eugenics while also protecting your health… the best thing you can do is wear a well fitted mask like an N95 They’re excellent at stopping the spread of Covid & other airborne diseases Unsure how to choose one? Want to learn about mask blocs & fit testing?

The White House has turned COVID.gov from a public health resource into a politically charged platform promoting the lab-leak theory and attacking specific scientists and the pandemic response in general. Let’s fact check its 5 headline claims… 🧵

The virus possesses a biological characteristic that is not found in nature.
2.

Data shows that all COVID-19 cases stem from a single introduction into humans. This runs contrary to previous pandemics where there were multiple spillover events.
3.

Wuhan is home to China’s foremost SARS research lab, which has a history of conducting gain-of-function research (gene altering and organism supercharging) at inadequate biosafety levels.
4.

Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV) researchers were sick with COVID-like symptoms in the fall of 2019, months before COVID-19 was discovered at the wet market.
5.

By nearly all measures of science, if there was evidence of a natural origin it would have already surfaced. But it hasn’t.

Stop saying “post covid”. People are confusing the end of the public health emergency with the end of the pandemic. The pandemic is not over. “During COVID” is now. If we want to end it, we need to first acknowledge this fact. Then mask up, clean the air & develop better vaccines & treatments.

Suggesting the world is “post COVID” contributes to an unwitting shift in research priorities
