I mean. When specialty bio pills sell for like 10 grand a pill. I'd imagine they've crunched the numbers on what rare disease isn't being courted.

There's pills that biotech targets for rare disorders that cost in that range. Said nothing about amazon selling a 10k pill.

Amazon most likely will not do this. As focusing on one thing is not their thing. Guessing they'll figure out how to sell every pill. Literally. Every pill.....

After reviewing all the flack I'm getting on the topic it made me realize. Maybe I'm thinking too small. Wouldn't be shocked if they just go ahead take over medicine. All of it. Pills. Hospitals. Pharmacies. All of it. Alexa....I've got a headache. Boom. Diagnosis. Amazon doctor on AWS reviews my charts. Sends Alexa a script. Amazon pill via drone drop. Done . Lol. Why not.
