Hope you're feeling better soon!

If you get the flu, there's a new antiviral that can help you and there's a $50 mfr coupon. I mean $50 is what it costs.
I was thinking it was for covid, but no. Anyone on medicare should be able to get paxlovid at a reasonable cost. sigh.

fucking krasnov and rfk jr are trying to kill us. Get healthy if only to show them!
