This initiative follows similar endeavors in the pharmaceutical industry to bypass traditional&nbsp;middlemen&nbsp;and directly reach consumers.&nbsp;
Earlier this year,&nbsp;Eli Lilly And Co&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) launched its LillyDirect platform,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/01/36495250/eli-lilly-launches-website-to-help-patients-with-home-delivery-options-for-weight-loss-medicines" rel="noreferrer noopener">marking an industry first</a>.
The &#8220;Pfizer for All&#8221; platform is positioned as a healthcare equity endeavor, seeking to simplify the often convoluted process through which US patients obtain their medications, the Financial Times highlights.&nbsp;
Citing the sources familiar with the plans, the FT&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.ft.com/content/772794b4-0dd8-4ba1-a356-bc5f33c21589" rel="noreferrer noopener">notes</a>&nbsp;that Pfizer intends to leverage its brand equity gained from its pivotal role in combating the Covid-19 crisis.
Despite Pfizer&#8217;s favorable reception during the height of the vaccine rollout, its favorability score has experienced fluctuations. The company&#8217;s stock value has also declined from its pandemic peak, facing skepticism from investors regarding its growth trajectory.
However, Timothy Mackey, a professor of global health at the University of California San Diego, believes that Pfizer&#8217;s approach may resonate positively with consumers despite mixed sentiments surrounding pharmaceutical companies.&nbsp;

Pfizer Follows Eli Lilly's Footsteps To Sell Medicines Directly To Patients

House members recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/05/38764797/vermont-gov-scott-opposes-drug-safe-consumption-sites-virginias-cannabis-surveillance-system-and">approved</a> the Senate measure, that seeks to set up an eight-person psychedelic-assisted therapy working group, with amendments. Vermont Senators gave the green light to the revised language of the bill on Friday, approving changes previously made in the state House of Representatives.
The bill, S.114, from Sen. Martine Larocque Gulick (D) was first passed in the Senate, before the amendments in the House would &#8220;review the latest research and evidence of the public health benefits and risks of clinical psychedelic-assisted treatments&#8221; and &#8220;examine the laws and programs of other states that have authorized the use of psychedelics by health care providers in a therapeutic setting.&#8221;
Sen. Larocque Gulick was not pleased with the changes made by the House members as the bill would not change the legal status of any substances, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/vermont-lawmakers-send-revised-psychedelic-assisted-therapy-task-force-bill-to-governor/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
"Personally, I'm very disappointed that they took out the conversation about decriminalization," Sen. Larocque Gulick said on Friday. "I mean, this is literally a group that's just going to be talking and looking at data and researching."
The bill is now heading to the Gov. Phil Scott's (R) desk.
Meanwhile, in Alaska, the state Senate members on Friday approved a House-passed measure to set up a task force with the goal of studying how to license and regulate psychedelic-assisted therapy. That is if substances like MDMA and psilocybin are approved on the federal level
Following an 18-1 vote by the chamber's members, the measure is up for review by Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R).
Sponsored by Jennie Armstrong (D), HB 228, like Vermont's measure, would not affect the legal status of drugs in Alaska, <a href="https://www.marijuanamoment.net/alaska-bill-to-create-task-force-to-study-psychedelic-assisted-therapy-heads-to-governors-desk/">reported</a> Marijuana Moment.
The deadline for the group to submit the report is on or before January 31, 2025.

GOP Governors In Vermont And Alaska To Weigh In On Psychedelic-Assisted Therapy Task Force Bills

The Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation is about to lose one of its namesakes. Co-chair of the foundation&#8217;s multibillion-dollar endowment, Melinda French Gates, announced on Monday that she will resign from the role. Alongside her ex-husband and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, she has helped lead <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/bill-and-melinda-gates-foundation">the charitable foundation</a>.
What Happened: French Gates first <a href="https://twitter.com/melindagates/status/1790049411227086949?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet">announced</a> on the social media platform X that she was resigning from her position to pursue her own philanthropic projects. French Gates has held the role since 2000.
&#8220;I am immensely proud of the foundation that Bill and I built together and the extraordinary work it is doing to address inequalities around the world. I care deeply about the foundation team, our partners around the world, and everyone who is touched by its work,&#8221; French Gates said on X. She will officially step down on June 7.

French Gates announced as part of her agreement to leave the foundation, she would receive an additional $12.5 billion for philanthropic efforts on behalf of women and families.
&#8220;This is a critical moment for women and girls in the U.S. and around the world — and those fighting to protect and advance equality are in urgent need of support,&#8221; French Gates said.
French Gates and her husband announced their separation in 2021. 
Bill Gates followed up with a <a href="https://twitter.com/BillGates/status/1790049639330402416">statement</a> on X: &#8220;I am sorry to see Melinda leave, but I am sure she will have a huge impact in her future philanthropic work,&#8221; he said.
Why it Matters: The Bill &amp; Melinda Gates Foundation has an endowment of $75.2 billion as of December 2023, <a href="https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/foundation-fact-sheet">according</a> to the foundation. The organization has served as the center of Bill Gates&#8217; multi-billion dollar philanthropic efforts. Warren Buffett, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, also contributed $36.2 billion through 2022, <a href="https://www.gatesfoundation.org/about/leadership/warren-buffett">according</a> to the foundation.
The foundation has several initiatives including gender equality, global health and global infrastructural development, says its website.

Melinda French Gates To Resign As Gates Foundation Co-Chair, Plans To Continue Her Own Philanthropic Work: What You Need to Know

Keith Gill, also known as Roaring Kitty, sent the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38789404/gamestops-rally-resumes-in-may-what-sparked-the-interest">meme stock community into a frenzy </a>Sunday night, posting for the first time in almost three years on X, formerly Twitter. The post, a simple meme of a gamer moving forward in his chair, was enough to send GameStop Corp's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) stock higher by more than 100% at one point Monday, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/05/38789404/gamestops-rally-resumes-in-may-what-sparked-the-interest">adding billions of dollars in valuation to the video game company. </a>But Gill wasn't done after Sunday's post. On Monday, he continued to share more content on X, posting several videos each filled with pop-culture references. Highlights include a mashup of Thanos from The Avengers and Hugh Jackman's &#8220;<a href="https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790034263603139012">X-Men</a>,&#8221; Ferris Bueller and a<a href="https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790041813379850491"> cat</a>, and clips from &#8220;Game of <a href="https://x.com/TheRoaringKitty/status/1790049362846117942">Thrones</a>.&#8221;

Cryptic social media posts are seemingly a staple of the meme stock frenzy, with Ryan Cohen able to move stocks by posting undecipherable memes in the past, like a picture of an ice cream cone which sent GameStop's stock up more than 100% in 2021.&nbsp;
GameStop, which famously surged more than 3000% amid a short squeeze in late 2020 and early 2021, has struggled since the spike and traded down more than 80% from its highs before Monday's gain. Gill was one of the key drivers of the short squeeze, posting his investment thesis on Reddit Inc's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RDDT#NYSE">RDDT</a>) WallStreet Bets and encouraged retail investors to buy the stock which he saw as extremely undervalued.&nbsp;
When Gill posted his first video Monday, GameStop's stock spiked another 5% to right around the $30 level. While the stock is still up more than 70% in Monday's session, it has retreated from its Monday morning highs, falling around 20%. Other so-called ‘meme stocks' such as AMC Entertainment (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMC#NYSE">AMC</a>) and KOSS Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KOSS#NASDAQ">KOSS</a>), also spiked higher Monday, trading up by more than 40% and 20% respectively. 
Traders and investors should be aware that increased volatility could make investments in these stocks riskier, but if history is any indication of what's to come, there could be more in store for highly-shorted names as retail interest picks up.&nbsp;

Shift4 Payments Unusual Options Activity

The return of a social media legend has sparked a frenzy in the cryptocurrency world, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/05/38796814/gamestop-stock-pumped-but-what-about-the-gamestop-meme-coin-its-gonna-get-wild-predicts-tr">memecoins referencing him</a> surging in value.
What Happened: Keith Gill, better known online as &#8220;Roaring Kitty,&#8221; was a key figure in the 2021 meme stock rally, targeting companies like GameStop (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GME#NYSE">GME</a>) with his online activity.
After a long hiatus, Gill&#8217;s return to social media sent shockwaves through the financial world, with a new cryptocurrency named after Roaring Kitty (ROAR) seeing a staggering 1400% increase <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/roaring-kitty">according</a> to CoinGecko data.
This particular coin, despite having no affiliation with the company, capitalized on the hype surrounding Gill&#8217;s return.
Gill&#8217;s return wasn&#8217;t just felt in the world of traditional finance. 
The meme coin market, known for its volatility and ties to social media trends, responded with a surge in memecoins referencing both Gill and GameStop.
These meme coins, easily created and traded, can experience massive price fluctuations due to their small size and limited availability.
One such memecoin, simply called (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">GME</a>) is currently <a href="https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/gme">valued</a> at $0.010.

Why It Matters: The demand for meme coins has been steadily rising since late February, as investors flush with cash from established cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ether look for new opportunities.
This trend mirrors the events of early 2021, when meme coins like Dogecoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/doge/usd">DOGE</a>) skyrocketed in value after endorsements from celebrities like Elon Musk.
The enthusiasm over Roaring Kitty was palpable on social media, with Twitter user Mike Schmidt <a href="https://x.com/MikeSchmidt1111/status/1790051578239476122">commenting</a>, &#8220;Imagine fading a Roaring Kitty coin on the biggest shitter chain during a cat szn with the GME legend back as the main character. Man this is fuckin hilarious.&#8221; 
Similarly, the official wallstreetbets Twitter account <a href="https://x.com/wallstreetbets/status/1790029319525257392">shared</a>, &#8220;My life savings is in the hands of a man that calls himself Roaring Kitty and I could not be more comfortable .&#8221;
Crypto enthusiasts and traders are keenly observing these developments. 
<a href="https://x.com/0xgaut/status/1790039820930003332">According</a> to Gaut, Roaring Kitty gained nearly 200,000 followers shortly after his post, suggesting a strong market reaction.
This sentiment was <a href="https://x.com/SizeChad/status/1790030162655953002">echoed</a> by Size Chad, who linked the event to increased trading volumes on Robinhood, noting their partnership with Arbitrum.
Furthermore, Crypto Tea <a href="https://x.com/CryptoTea_/status/1790038567122579810">highlighted </a>the broader implications of such movements, tweeting, &#8220;Roaring kitty posts a meme and $1 billion gets liquidated. Future of finance.&#8221; 
These events demonstrate the growing intersection between cryptocurrency and traditional financial markets, driven largely by community engagement and speculation.
What&#8217;s Next: As the community gears up for the Benzinga's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, these developments will likely be a hot topic.
The event will delve into how digital assets are reshaping finance, influenced by social media and community-driven investment trends.

Marijuana workers at a Nabis warehouse in California voted overwhelmingly to unionize by joining Teamsters Local 630. Nabis is a California-based licensed cannabis wholesale platform. These 84 new Teamsters are employed as drivers and warehouse workers. 
"We are dedicated to ensuring stability and ending exploitation in the rapidly growing cannabis industry," stated Lou Villalvazo, secretary-treasurer at Local 630 in Los Angeles. "Organizing and empowering workers is the key to fostering their growth into the middle class. Through solidarity and commitment, we will make these good middle-class jobs!"
Established in 1937, Teamsters Local 630 represents workers in various industries, from clerical, warehouse, professional drivers, food service, liquor, food processing,&nbsp;dairy and more.&nbsp;
Employees at Nabis filed for the election on April 20, the internationally renowned cannabis holiday. They are the third group of cannabis workers to join the Teamsters in three weeks and the third group at the company to join the union.
"Cannabis workers are becoming Teamsters at a break-neck pace because we fight hard and win strong contracts," Peter Finn, Teamsters Western Region International VP and Food Processing Division director said in a statement. "We look forward to doing the same thing for these workers.&#8221;

Jonathan Misquez, a warehouse associate at Nabis, commented,&nbsp;"The reason&nbsp;that I&nbsp;organized was to have a voice at Nabis, not only for myself but for my coworkers.&nbsp;"My coworkers have really helped me through a lot and taught me so much on and off the clock, so I wanted to help them receive a contract that reflects the hard work they put in every day. Iron sharpens iron, every&nbsp;day&nbsp;we&nbsp;all make each other better and&nbsp;together&nbsp;we proved that we are united.&#8221;

84 Cannabis Warehouse Workers And Drivers In California Join Teamsters For Contracts Reflecting Their 'Hard Work'

Inventiva&nbsp;SA&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVA#NASDAQ">IVA</a>) announced the&nbsp;publication&nbsp;in the peer-reviewed scientific journal&nbsp;Nature Communications&nbsp;of additional results from its NATIVE Phase 2b trial demonstrating the improvement of markers of cardiometabolic health in patients with MASH/NASH&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/05/g38781778/inventiva-announces-the-publication-in-nature-communications-of-additional-results-from-native-pha" rel="noreferrer noopener">treated with&nbsp;lanifibranor</a>.
Following lanifibranor treatment, the trial demonstrated significant improvement in patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH)/ non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) with and without Type 2 Diabetes and with or without obesity of markers of cardiometabolic health.
In February, Inventiva announced it stopped enrolling new patients in the NATiV3 Phase 3 trial for lanifibranor in NASH due to a reported&nbsp;serious&nbsp;adverse reaction. This reaction involved elevated liver enzymes in a&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/biotech/24/02/37182374/why-is-liver-disease-focused-inventiva-stock-trading-lower-today" rel="noreferrer noopener">patient undergoing treatment</a>.
Lanifibranor treatment also led to lower fasting glucose to normal levels in 71% of patients with MASH/NASH and prediabetes treated with the 1200mg dose and 67% of patients treated with the 800mg dose versus 11% of patients on placebo.
In addition, no patients treated with either dose of&nbsp;lanifibranor&nbsp;with MASH/NASH and normoglycemia at baseline progressed to prediabetes at week 24, versus 26% of patients in the placebo arm.
Furthermore, 38% and 44% of patients with MASH/NASH and high cardiovascular risk treated with 1200mg and 800mg of lanifibranor, respectively, improved to intermediate or low cardiovascular risk at week 24.
44% and 35% of patients at intermediate risk improved to low risk when treated with 1200mg and 800mg of lanifibranor, respectively. However, in the placebo arm, only 26% of patients at high cardiovascular risk improved to intermediate, .2q&nbsp; &nbsp;and&nbsp;13% improved from intermediate to low cardiovascular risk.
The weight gain observed in a portion of the patient population treated with lanifibranor was shown to be associated with improvement of all markers of cardiometabolic health,&nbsp;similarly&nbsp;to patients treated with lanifibranor&nbsp;who&nbsp;maintained a stable weight throughout the study.&nbsp;
This finding contrasts the weight gain observed in patients on placebo, which was associated with worsening cardiometabolic markers.&nbsp;
In addition, the increase in adiponectin (helps insulin sensitivity and inflammation) levels following treatment with 1200mg and 800mg of lanifibranor occurred in 95% and 86% of patients, respectively, versus only 10% of patients in the placebo arm.&nbsp;
The increase in adiponectin level at week 24 was correlated with improvement of markers of insulin resistance, glycemic control, lipid metabolism, and steatosis, as well as hs-CRP, aminotransferases, and improvement in liver histological endpoints for disease activity and fibrosis.
Price Action:&nbsp;IVA shares are up 5.62% at $3.57 at last check Monday.
