Or what if a character sustains a head injury and scenes after it are in black and white and scenes before it are in color. I was going to make a joke here but this is Memento.

Your tag seems to suggest that there aren’t genetic predispositions to certain cancers (e.g. BRCA1 for breast cancer). A better criticism might be “that’s not how cancer works” since every cancer type is essentially a separate disease. Cheers.

How to choose between this and GrapheneOS, CalyxOS, etc? I feel ready for the switch too.

Edit: Plus is it possible to get banking apps and Google Wallet to still work (easily) in these Android-based alternatives?

The US (and other high-income countries) are not included in that licensing deal, meaning the non-insured in those countries will hafta wait for the domestic patent protections to expire (2034-2041) or be successfully challenged in the courts.

Since the Affordable Care Act it’s been a legal mandate for all non-grandfathered-in insurances to cover all A & B recommendations with zero copay, which includes PrEP. Sources: HIV.gov, USPSTF.

Any disease that specializes in inserting itself into the host genome and then eradicating their immune system needs to be wiped out.

Just to clarify the potentially confusing title. This drug came out three months ago in the US, is a version of PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) that only needs to be taken every six months, and is free with most insurances if you’re in an at-risk demo.

Yeah HIV doesn’t use traditional warfare: it bombs hospitals. 😔

Free with many insurances though! It may take a little longer to get a “Prior Authorization,” but as long as you say you’re in an at-risk group for HIV (Google these) it will eventually get approved.

The rationale is that since treating HIV+/AIDS is so astronomically more expensive than merely paying for this once every 6 months PrEP, that insurance actuaries determine the latter to be way more in the insurance company’s interest.

This is good since it doesn’t require the insurance companies to be ethical, just cheap. But a win-win is still a win-win, so I say take it where you can get em. {Former pharmacist here, feel free to reach out and ask how to get non-addictive drugs covered} 🪿

People didn’t really jif it a chance.
