  • Nobody was saying it would be. The headline and article are about production costs at different scales, not prices for anyone buying it after that.

    Hill had calculated a generic price of $40 annually last year, but said the interest from generic manufacturers had warranted new analysis. This showed lenacapavir could be mass produced for $35 to $46 a year, if there was annual demand for 2m doses, falling to $25 at scaled up production of 5m to 10m doses each year.

    Oh wait, I missed a line where the article actually suggests this…

    Dr Hill’s research indicates that this gamechanging innovation could – within a year of launch – be produced and sold for just $25 per person per year.

    But you’re right, they won’t sell it for $0 of profit. It would be nice.










  • At my partner’s house, there are two cats: Mr. And Mrs. Rizzler. The teenagers in the house started calling them that and everyone went with it. Before then, the term was used basically every single time I saw any of them. It seems to most often be used as nonsense or just a word to shout at each other while trying to be annoying, but sometimes in the actual context of charisma (for example, a charismatic classmate was described as a “rizzler”).

    So yeah, it’s a thing in some circles, but I’m hopeful this is an isolated incident.
