 @d7af9dea doing their part 
 @d7af9dea I'm actually more surprised it is up ONLY 20% year over year. 
 @d7af9dea Sure bet when 80% of the US pop are fatties or mega-fatties. 
 @d7af9dea  I saw the major news this morning was that Ozempic had a new health risk - rather than take if off the market for more research, they have decided to UPDATE THE LABEL.

Why they didn't just do that with Over the Counter Cyanide rather than take it off the market, is a mystery to me. 
 missing out all of this cash @d7af9dea

Now with small bowel obstruction!

My wife is a GI practitioner. This is big for them, they are really pulling back on prescribing these starting yesterday. Now that there's FDA warning, they can face lawsuits, or their license being suspended if there are adverse side effects in patients and they were not appropriately screened. 
 @d7af9dea But Lizzo and body positivity, chichos are tities too. 
 @d7af9dea Sadly, keep an eye out for childhood non-alcoholic fatty liver disease to become the new thing in the next few years as childhood type II diabetes & obesity rates soar. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4926480/ 
 @d7af9dea 

I wonder what the ROI on $500 million is.  Somebody's wallet is getting obese 
 @d7af9dea Does that increase my fat a$$ value up from $9M (debt)? 
 @d7af9dea I was prescribed it for the 'betus. Good at controlling the sugars but the mental and physical side effects were unbearable...and I only lost 1 pound😂 

1 tube, paid $ 125 will sell for $0.01 OBO 
 @d7af9dea wife did the ozimpic crap for one month. Lost 7lbs. Then gained it back. Doing the intermittent fasting, cost nothing and lost 4lbs in a month. Free doesn’t pay the spokes holes fees.
