Supposedly 13% of Americans have tried Ozempic or a similar drug, but very few have stayed on it due to the price
Very mixed on this. On the one hand, it's good to have something that helps modify your body or allow medically necessary weight loss. On the other, hard not to think that this won't be forced on overweight people as a social expectation despite being privatized.
We just paint blue lanes on the road for that. It'll fund our F35 purchases.
Probably due to the number of famished illegal and/or asylum migrants Joe has let in.
What we need is some kind of national manufacturing program to crank out gigatons of generic semaglutide when the patents start expiring in the next 5-10 years.
I’m on Wegovy because of my autoimmune disease and the extreme damage it’s done to my body. For some reason, it’s helping some of those symptoms. I still have severe rheumatoid arthritis and I’m sometimes in the apartment for days since my meds aren’t 100%, but I’m happy
I’m not advocating this, tbc, but I will not be surprised at all if Novo starts losing its patents early, like what happened with the antiretrovirals
exercise does not work for weight loss. numerous studies have shown this to be the case. it's all diet.
The data was 2021-23 only the tail end of that was ozempic influenced
Would be interesting to know what the effect had been on spending a similar amount on bike lanes in the US. Anyway, we thank you for your contribution to our socialist Utopia.
NGL, attended a very nice, totally free, microbiology conference in Copenhagen recently. PhD students even got their travel costs funded. Courtesy of you know who.
Oh, it’s going to be bigger than that: a sovereign wealth fund, tax cuts, possibly a national plan to make fully high-speed the national rail network. Heck, the budget surplus is around-about the 3% mark already!
While it is a modest drop (42% to 40.3%), it's not yet considered statistically significant
So obesity has dropped but food costs less than ever? Not saying it can’t occur, but that seems irregular. All the OCD eaters in the world will tend to keep the weight on until they’re too sick for even that to happen.
This is just from all of them visiting Europe and discovering walking for the first time.
6% of the US population are using GLP-1 agonists (Ozempic, etc.), and 13% have tried them.
That's b/c we're starving trying to provide the same things we did prior to this current "administration". FJB
From the exact same country you are referring to comes a drug called Wegovy.

I think the U.S. Senate should be able to pass laws

I see a lot of pro-Harris accounts cheering her proposal to gut the Senate filibuster to pass a national abortion rights law.
But remember: Gutting the filibuster would also make it a lot easier for Republicans to pass polarizing bills next time they have a Senate majority. x.com/mkraju/status/…
I notice a lot of people who didn’t pay much attention in high school are now trying to retcon their laziness into ideological theories about “what we were never taught.”
It feels absolutely goofy to say, but it's true: this is colonialism directed at the native British population of the Falklands.
They were uninhabited by humans when settled, and 99% of the people there want to remain part of the UK.
I have never known more in my life who a person I have never met is going to vote for

Last night I watched this woman in real time, slosh around her house with the generator on INSIDE, saying they should have left but just remodeled their house and wanted to “salvage” it, tried to flee by boat, her husband found a corpse, and they don’t have insurance
