But scamming a 50yo or 60yo who has been led to believe in a certain drug over and above vaccination (or monoclonals), and who delays treatment waiting on a prescription that never comes or that is too expensive to fill, or that arrives too late in the disease process to matter, is plain sadistic.

It would be nice if we lived in a world where most physicians were not denying early,safe and effective early treatment. That denial of early treatment has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans, the most significant mass murder event in US history.
Don't save all your outrage for a pharmacy profiteering off of it.
You think Gilead,Pfizer.Moderna,J&J are not profiteering.

I wish they would mail the pills at at cost,
I also wish all pharmacists would do the right thing and fill doctors prescriptions.

My personal experience was my prescription arrived timely, but it was more expensive than Walgreens.

No one should delay monoclonal antibody treatment if they can get it waiting on a mail in prescription.

I agree. Pills at cost or a nominal 10% or 15% add-on even, is reasonable and people wouldn’t question it. But during a pandemic it should be the same as selling water in a earthquake - no price gouging and no funny business.

That’s why I like J&J vaccine because it’s $10 which seems a more honest price than Pfitzer’s $27. And why I like monoclonals because for now they’re free and they keep most people out of the hospital. And that’s great for everyone since ins. companies are starting to charge again.
