Johanna’s Reviews > Off the Scales: The Inside Story of Ozempic and the Race to Cure Obesity > Status Update

Oh the ceo said he “hasn’t seen proof that GLPs are bad for kids”? Hm I wonder if that’s bc kids don’t take them and the trials literally just started? 🤔 As an aside I haven’t seen proof that my dogs can’t juggle ☝️
Fuck off

Um hello-and kids can’t physically just eat when nausea subsides bc they’re in school all day?? Like I know some jobs treat u like ur in the panopticon but usually adults have more autonomy. Donnellan has some weird blind spots :/

I’m sorry I’m a cynic but the idea that weight loss drugs could be some sort of cure all? Fuck off. What’s next-u got a bridge to sell me? Just give me the damn snake oil instead I’m sure it’ll work just as well 🤡🙄🥴😫

Reporters/journalists always need to tell us about people’s intense or steely or lively eyes…?

I have acid reflux and I don’t think I’d keep taking medication that makes me puke all the time. I think I’d stop before my teeth fell out. I’m not trying to victim blame and I understand the doctors didn’t think it was the GLPs but lowkey I think I’d just stop taking them????

GIRL UR TEETH 🗣️🗣️🗣️ u need to tell the doctor to find another medication and u need to go to the dentist asap!! 🗣️🗣️🗣️ ur teeth!!!!!

Crazy that she keeps referencing BMI usage in medicine without mentioning the fact that it’s so …..dare I say unethical bc there’s no accounting for different types of weight. Like my dad had to go to fat camp when he joined the army bc of BMI bc muscle weighs more than fat and he had a lot of bulky muscle and no fat. But BMI sent him to fat camp 🤡 you’d think she’d mention that?????

“Doctors may tap their network in the pharmaceutical industry” sure is an interesting way of saying sales people regularly go directly to doctors and sell hard 🤔🤔🤔

Donnellan pulls so many punches it’s so fucking crazy

Private healthcare and trying to make a profit from it ……. Honestly legitimately truly evil

The underlying assumption that doctors aren’t “easily swayed” like the stupid public (adjective mine) is insane. Like the bias there 😬 did he hear about the opioid epidemic by then????
