This company does not warn about the dangerous side effects of many of the medications they sell. Instead they have focused on marketing and packaging to entice consumers. Many of these drugs are generic and guessing most Americans have no idea that if you are injured or killed by a generic medicine, you can NOT hold the company accountable. They are mostly legally immune to lawsuits. As someone who was intimately involved in helping get blackbox suicide warnings added to antidepressants in 2004 and 2006 after my husband took his life with no history of depression-5 weeks after, it is not good business model.

I find it interesting that it wasn’t the above that impacted their stock price, but rather getting involved in political statements outside their core business.

jennifer, the sinuses have very few blood vessels running through them so systemic antibiotics for a sinus infection is mostly a waste. a more effective solution is to put a drop of a non-alcohol based antiseptic, antibiotic mouth wash in a netti pot with saline solution and wash your sinus passages with it. that gets the medicine where it needs to be.

if that's too much for you, use a nasal spray like Xlear on a daily basis. good luck

we used that in a nebulizer when my BF had covid, alternating with iodine and H2O2. he had a really bad sore throat and after one 5 minute session, he felt improvement. i nebulize reduced glutathione almost every day

I always get sinus infections once or twice a year and a neti pot is all that has ever really worked for me.

Given the whiny and often menacing videos of these protestors on our social media feeds, it's puzzling why anyone would want to hire one. They come across as bratty, intransigent, strident, weak and privileged. Certainly not possessing the attributes of an ideal employee.

oof. What a mess. Meanwhile, here's info on the patterns of experience of 60 trans widows, (only in the world), we are ex-wives of Bruce Jenner types, but don't have the Jenners' millions. We support female athletes, women wanting female-only spaces, medical research on women's health. We feel for lesbians, as we see our ex husbands claiming their category.

As usual, good common sense article. Thanks. BTW, recently received my "Girl Dad" tee from your start up and posted me wearing it on Instagram, letting people know where to get their very own. Happy to support your work for women's sports and common sense.

Upon first glance, Andrew Dudum's X handle looks like Andrew Dumdum. Seems fitting!

I just want all companies to go back to selling products and not "take a stand" on ANY issues.

I listened to the Q1 earnings call yesterday. More pandering and weasel words. No doubt the Board had some words for Dudum, a 9% shareholder - lots, but not a majority, by any means.

Blackrock probably is a big shareholder.

BlackRock has 5%. But I looked again and Dudum has 89% of the voting shares. So, I guess he can do whatever the hell he wants to do.

Excellent point, love the ending.

There’s little to no moat in this business I believe.. what’s stopping users from going to DTC platforms of big pharmaceuticals?

Have posted my thoughts here - https://open.substack.com/pub/marcusteo/p/hims-is-a-40-price-drop-enough-to?r=3jwks&utm_medium=ios

Happy to discuss further!
