#ReleaseTheVials… TikTokers are pleading with Eli Lilly to sell single-dose vials of its weight-loss drug, Zepbound, on their own without accompanying injector pens. Zepbound, which launched late last year, is in short supply because Eli Lilly can’t make the pens fast enough. It joins similar drugs on the FDA’s shortage list, including Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro and Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy. Pharma cos are looking to scale up production as retailers like Costco start offering access to scripts. Meantime, the FDA has warned folks about sketchy knockoffs.
Block your boss… California is mulling a “right to disconnect” bill that would guarantee salaried workers the right to ignore calls, texts, emails, and DMs from their employers after work. The pandemic eroded work-life norms, with over half of US workers saying they answer work messages outside paid hours. It’d be the US’s first right-to-disconnect law, though countries including Ireland, France, and Australia already have them in place. Elsewhere in office law, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders last month intro’d a 32-hour-workweek bill in the Senate.
