      Btw, you know those at-home COVID tests you just paid $25 for? You can get them for a few bucks in Europe. They’re so $$ here bc the FDA basically gave two companies a duopoly. An FDA scientist told us he was so frustrated by review process he quit.https://www.propublica.org/article/heres-why-rapid-covid-tests-are-so-expensive-and-hard-to-find …

      See that test on left? That’s what you’ve been buying, from Abbott, for about $25/pack After early approval from FDA & thus few competitors, it has 75% of market. See that test on right? It’s *the same test* by Abbott Just packaged for Europe—where it sells for $4pic.twitter.com/Nmsu3F45J1

      Oh look, Abbott is advertising its test -- the one that sells for $25 in US and $4 in Europe. Abbott's CEO told investors he'd lower prices here only if he had to. (Narrator: He hasn't had to.)pic.twitter.com/WUDDH5wtKj

          Can you get any other brands, or are they blocking them in that weird way US Pharma can?

          I’m always reminded of this @sherifink piece, about Abbott destroying millions of tests when the company thought the pandemic was over.https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/20/us/abbott-covid-tests.html?referringSource=articleShare …

          They are free where I live, because our government wants people to test regularly

          I do not understand why people keep quoting this price for Binax. here in flyover country, they are 2/$14 at Walmart. Still too much but within the reach of many, many consumers.
