Walgreens Cuts Ties With Blood-Test Startup Theranos (theverge.com)

An anonymous reader writes: Walgreens has announced that it's terminating its partnership with blood-testing startup Theranos. All 40 of the "Theranos Wellness Centers" in Walgreen's Arizona drugstores will be shut down immediately, closing what has been a primary link between Theranos and would-be consumers, and further wounding the troubled startup's revenue. "In light of the voiding of a number of test results, and as the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has rejected Theranos' plan of correction and considers sanctions, we have carefully considered our relationship with Theranos and believe it is in our customers' best interests to terminate our partnership," said Walgreens senior vice president Brad Fluegel in a press statement.

Re:The fraud called Theranos is almost dead

It's mostly because of SJWs that the fraud was allowed to continue as long as it did. They wanted so badly for a woman to take the industry by storm that they threw due diligence to the wind. Questioning a woman is misogyny now, and no one dared look behind the curtain lest the poster child for female CEOs be found not wearing any clothes. In the end they lost their own shirts, bit of poetry if you ask me.
