I don't think you realize the amount of people have taken Ozempic or similar drug. I'm lucky enough that I haven't had issues with body weight, but if I believe the stats (and my observations in real world confirm it), about 15% of adults are on it.
If it was "killing people", we would be seeing it literally everywhere. We're not talking about a small scale 50K+ observation... we're talking about literal millions.
- echoangle 2y agoThis says 6% are currently on a GLP-1 drug and 15% have ever taken one in their life: https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/10/health/ozempic-glp-1-survey-kff https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2024/05/10/health/ozempic-glp-1-surv...
- tokioyoyo 2y agoFair, I remembered my stats wrong. But it's still 15M people in US that are actively on it. That's a lot of people.
- bluSCALE4 2y agoReally just meant it kills you if you plan on using it as a lifelong solution. I don't have an obesity problem but if I did, this is one of those drugs I'd journal about daily to keep track of how it's affecting me.
- tokioyoyo 2y agoWhere is any source about it, other than “it just feels wrong, people shouldn’t cheat their way out of obesity”? Sorry for being obtuse, but I have very close friends for whom it changed their lives.
