I love debates and allowing the Party Machine that gave us John Fetterman, Lori Lightfoot, Bill deBlasio and Joe Biden the power to get mail in votes starting up to six months before Election Day undermines the term “by the people for the people” Mail in ballots make our political dissent and our free debate useless.
@Rainy Day Jane Yes hundred percent they are better than what we dealing with this 🤡🤪
lets stop all mail in votes and watch the republicans cry when those boomers in nursing homes, rural areas, assisted living cant get out and vote.
@debella21 I am asking for a three week window. Those people do not need six months. No one does.
Doctors have to STOP prescribing it like it’s damned candy! Arrest their asses already. How selfish can you be???
I had never heard of HQ Trivia until this video 🤷🏻♂️
I’ve never heard of that or “nightcap” until now
Y’all missed out!
A wise person once said:
_Do not take Ozempic if you’re allergic to Ozempic._
As a diabetic, it is very frustrating to have to go without my medication for several months.
Wonder why all people on the democrat side, have to talk to all their constituents like they are all 5 year olds? Lol

As person who was prescribed Ozempic for weight loss, that’s not something to play around with. I also think this piece focused a bit too much on people who “want to be thin” rather than the actual use case for Wegovy and similar drugs like Saxenda. They are GLP-1 hormonal replacements. While only some of the mechanism on how the medication works for weight loss are clear, it’s a tool used by (reputable, not the Hollywood pusher type) doctors for people who have uncontrolled excess weight/weight gain to lose weight/maintain a healthy weight. That’s the way it SHOULD be used. I got is prescribed because I have a history of trying to lose weight and not being able to, thus resorting to disordered eating. I was pre-diabetic and struggling with obesity while not being able to lose weight with diet and exercise. I should note that I also have a variety of other health issues that make maintaining exercise plans harder but, like with most conditions, excess weight makes those conditions worse. For people who are obese/overweight and have other conditions, it’s not a vanity play – it’s preventative medicine. Additionally, side effects being what they are, it’s less dangerous, less invasive, and less life-altering than bariatric surgery. Some people with PCOS (one symptom of that illness that you gain weight continuously regardless of what you eat or how much) find it’s the only treatment that actually works.
I feel immensely for diabetics having issues accessing their mediation and I don’t support vanity use of it. But I think it’s important to recognize that not everyone who takes this medication “off label” (is it even off label now if that’s literally a prescribed use of Semaglutide now?) is trying to achieve some beauty standard. Some of us just want to live long, healthy lives like everyone else and that this is an essential tool for us to do so.
what happens when you stop the drug? Is it practical or economic to be on it for the rest of your life?
@Dustin Smiley A few things:
1. It depends on the person. However, current studies show that people generally have better success keeping the weight off than those who had any of the bariatric surgeries which are considered currently the most effective treatments to date.
2. Like many other medications, you have to be careful how you come off the medication to avoid a rebound effect.
3. I’m not sure I understand the notion of it being not “practical or economic”. All medical treatment costs money and many things are extremely expensive but covered by insurance. Surgery is riskier and more expensive. So is staying overweight and developing preventable heart disease. I also have to take biologics which are OBSCENELY expensive. My insurance actually covered my Ozempic prescription because I had other conditions made worse by excess weight. Even then, my doctor had to submit a special authority form for it to happen. Nonetheless, I am healthier now than I was then. All things considered, why would taking medication to treat my conditions be “impractical”? Isn’t it less practical to NOT pursue treatment?
had to go several weeks without my script!!!
$150 a month in Australia, with no government support.
Getting off this stuff I bet nearly all gain the weight right back
6k oof. Collapsing news network
Sure handout some opioids with it too, doctor.
Hold up isn’t taking that kind of drugs without being a diabetic would be dangerous🤔
Ozempic is the only drug that helps me with my type II diabetes . Drugs like Metformin have such a severe reaction to my digestive system that I can not take them . I really hope that the medical professionals that are supplying this life saving drug will be held accountable .
2:44 “If it costs about $1,000 per MONTH or $625 for generic, are these only available to the rich and famous?” – “I’d say they’re available to those willing to pay for them whether they’re rich famous and privileged or not” – Um, what? What a tone-deaf, ignorant, narrow-minded, offensive thing to say. You think poor people aren’t WILLING to pay for them? 🤨 The correct response isn’t that it’s for those WILLING to, it’s that it’s for those ABLE to, which as the host said, is the RICH. 😒
Ozempic: And as soon as you come off it that weight comes right back. So either you have the money to stay on it for life or you get smart and do it the old-fashioned way with diet and exercise. Leave it for the diabetics who need it to STAY ALIVE.
first, we are indeed in a new era of body acceptance, but um… it’s still unhealthy to be overweight. a lot of people want to lost weight in part because it is actually better for their health. secondly, those of us trying to lose weight need to implement good eating habits and exercise instead of a prescription drug intended for others who posess life threatening illnesses. unbelievable. grow up people.
