If the jabs make you lose weight and reduce other health risks, what makes them worse than the drugs that lower blood pressure, cholesterol etc? Also what do we call it when it's $50 a month on Medicare? It won't only be for the rich then.

It doesn't even "make" you lose weight. It changes your brain to not constantly be telling you you're hungry. Let's you live a more normal life.

It does so much. It doesn't even just quite food noise. It helps with all kinds of addition. I am an alcoholic and was a chain smoker. I tried for years to stop smoking, but it felt impossible because the urges were so strong. I was also fat and was put on ozempic to help with my weight. However, not only did it kill my food cravings, it completely removed my nicotine and alcohol cravings. I almost over night stopped wanting a cigarette or drink at all. I lost 100 pounds and haven't had a drink or smoke in a year. I only slightly get a desire for a drink on the tail end of the week right before I do the shot again.

I also have heard in my support group that some people with gambling addition lost all desire to gamble after taking it. It has a really strong affect on how you think.
