If they were interested in my location they could request location data. What are the odds they are doing this to directly market products to people based on health data?

Of course, yes they do. This appears to be one more layer on top of it. And surely they wouldn’t share that information with the pharmacy, right?

An error message is displayed which tells the user that error 16 occurred - they have been blocked by the sites security service

Apparently they consider me a security risk. Can't fault them, to be honest.

Thanks, darling. Though I gotta admit I had some pretty mediocre versions of, well, me, so I guess I'm hit or miss.
