In the Daily Mail, they keep talking about the health benefits of semaglutide:
Semaglutide, the ingredient in fat-busting jabs like Ozempic and Wegovy, can slash the risk of deaths from all causes by up to a quarter, new data shows. Researchers from Harvard Medical School in the U.S. showed obese and overweight people on semaglutide enjoyed a 23 per cent lower chance of dying overall in the three years that followed. Meanwhile a separate study led by Australian researchers showed diabetes patients on the drug for just two months had a 29 per cent lower chance of death from heart attacks and strokes.
The hilarious part is that they think that these benefits are ‘partially’ because people are losing weight when they are taking it (and looking like they’ve been living in a cave on bread and water for a decade, but that’s my own opinion).
Because heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, etc. have never been linked to being overweight… right? So becoming not overweight might lower your risks of all that stuff.
Now here’s the really creepy part. They honestly don’t know why semaglutide works. They don’t have long term studies. And, like the covid jabs, they are trying to get it into as many people as possible, even going so far as to try to get it coded as a ‘preventative treatment’ in the UK.
You should read the litany of what they say it does here.
But I think they are really stretching it to try to say that the drug is doing something that we all know that general weight loss will do.
And, if I was trying to get the population who wouldn’t or didn’t take the jabs on board with something that will either addict them for life or ultimately kill them, going the weight loss route would be the ticket. I’ve always been of the mind that if they could say that kudzu was a weight loss product, the South’s problem with it would be solved.
My A1C was at a point where I could have legit gotten it. I took a hard pass with a side of ‘hell no’.
Others might feel that it’s worth it and that’s cool–everyone gets to make their own choices–I’m not a doctor and I’m not in anyone else’s situation, only mine.
