About $780, if I buy both from discount sellers.

Hycosan Shield, made in Germany, approx $20 on UK Amazon. OTC.

Miebo, distributed exclusively by Bausch and Lomb in the US and requiring a prescription, $800+ at Walmart in US.

I purchased from a UK pharmacy and had it shipped ...cost me just under $35 including shipping.

4 years later, significant difference in look and what looks like a live performance:

โ€œThe allegations that Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts killed a neighborโ€™s dog come several months after the same saw accusation Kristi Noem shunned as a possible VP pick.โ€

Project 2025 and Trump love the doggie killing.

Trump even falsely said immigrants eat dogs! Noem famously murdered her puppy because it went on a killing spree (I thought the Guns Over People liked killing sprees?).

The right wing sees nothing odd about this. Weird.
