Ok will change to "closer." Pass that along to Tom, if you would. Your story was one of our 5 most popular reads this week. (The denominator under that 10 is all the stories published in our 180-year history, technically. More realistically it's the 40 we have published in the last 2 weeks.)

A 25mg pill always costs more than a 1mg pill of the same compound, though. A stroll through CVS tells you that.

I think it's more general. Like: the effective dose for people may be closer to the 25mg that worked best in the trials. And not the 1.5mg whose cost was cited by the pharma co. In that case cost would be higher than $149/ month. How much higher? Thoughts, @laurenjyoung.bsky.social ?

Does the Spectator article you reference give a source for that high number? I read it and couldn't see a source.. Perhaps i missed it?

So true.

Thanks for the compliment and glad you liked it.

Thank you for the nice note.
