    Trillion Dollar Shot, Episode 2: Bank Breakers
    May 19 2024
    As demand for the new class of GLP-1 weight-loss drugs skyrockets, one thing has stood in the way of many people trying to access them: cost. With a price tag around $1,000 a month for U.S. patients and many insurance companies refusing to cover these drugs for weight loss, patients are often turning to alternatives. In episode two of “Trillion Dollar Shot,” we look at the roadblocks to making these drugs more affordable, concerns that their high cost will negatively impact U.S. insurance systems, and the sometimes risk-laden options people are turning to in desperation.

Fauci just making things up

Fauci just said we can’t eradicate COVID because of all the unvaccinated people. He’s out of his mind! Clearly vaccinated people are getting and transmitting COVID How does it have anything to do with the unvaccinated? This guy is a broken record; “vaccinate vaccinate vaccinate!”
