Seems statistically insignificant to me, and more of a story because Ozempic is so famous.
- addicted 3y agoThe quoted data is certainly not sufficient to identify whether or not the numbers are statistically significant or not.
- carlmr 3y agoWhile it's not, the article should give the numbers to prove their hypothesis makes sense. Otherwise it's more like fake news.
- j-a-a-p 3y agoWell that is far on a limb. I just googled Ozempic sales, seeing they did 50,000,000,000 DKK sales in Q1 '23 for Novo Nordisk, the manufacturer. Also 'blockbuster' and Ozempic are often used in one phrase. It all suggests a lot of pills are being sold. IMO it is almost certain statistically insignificant.
