Are they immune from lawsuits like Pfizer and Moderna?

Sad, RIP.

I don’t understand so many choices so many people make.

I need to lose weight myself but I’m leery of these types of products

I had one that I wound up not using

If I get sick, I lose weight really well by not eating - ouch 🤕🤕

They can be sued, thankfully.

I know people who are successful on this. Something else seems wrong. Sounds like she was not well supervised by her physician. Pharma will probably take the hit on this, but I see a potential malpractice.

Just don’t eat carbs or sugar and you’ll lose it. Lazy.

She may have obtained the drug without prescription - from these dodgy on line sellers.

(TMX) — Sharon Osbourne is warning people — and especially teenagers — to “be careful what you wish for” after dropping below 100 pounds while using the diabetes drug Ozempic for weight loss.

“I’m too gaunt, and I can’t put any weight on. I want to because I feel I’m too skinny. I’m under 100 pounds, and I don’t want to be,” the 71-year-old host of “The Talk UK” told The Daily Mail in an interview published Friday.

“I’ve never really cared what people say about the way I look because I know I’ve paid a fortune to try and look attractive,” Osbourne told the outlet. “I was never a beauty. I was never blessed that way.”

The wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne told the outlet she started on Ozempic last December, and has now been off it “for awhile now.”

“My warning is don’t give it to teenagers, it’s just too easy,” she said. “You can lose so much weight and it’s easy to become addicted to that, which is very dangerous. I couldn’t stop losing weight and now I’ve lost 42 pounds and I can’t afford to lose any more.”

Ozempic, one of the brand names for semaglutide, is a weekly injection. Semaglutide is approved by the FDA for use alongside modified diet and exercise to help lower blood sugar and reduce risk of cardiac events in patients with type 2 diabetes, but it has also become a trendy weight-loss drug.

During a September appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored” alongside Ozzy, 74, and two of their three children, Jack, 38, and Kelly, 39, Sharon admitted she went too far.

“I didn’t want to go this thin. It just happened,” she said. “It’s just time to stop.” She also described experiencing nausea while taking Ozempic.

“You don’t throw up physically but you have got that feeling,” she explained. “You get very thirsty and you don’t eat. That’s why I say you have to keep this stuff away from younger people. They will go berserk on it and it’s not right.”

Eat salads, drink water only, and move more.

It’s an oversimplification, but you understand the idea.
No liquid calories, eat plenty vegetables, exercise and sleep plenty.

Yeah one size does not fit all

Like COVID-19 (fake) “vaccination”

They are NOT “vaccines”

But they tell the public otherwise...

Soda is terrible. Just having black coffee instead will make a change.

I’ve been thinking 🤔 🤔 about changing to more coffee ☕☕☕☕ and less soda 🥤🥤🥤

Just in the last few weeks

It’s just that soda is .... So much easier

Darn it 😫

Yep. Lots of water and black coffee for me. A cup of 1% milk on my cereal at breakfast several days per week. A couple of beers or glasses of wine per week. And an occasional glass of real fresh-squeezed apple cider or OJ for me.

I’ve never liked any type of soda — probably because Mom never gave it to us in the 50s and 60s.

My guess is if she was fixated on a dress she may have been ok other meds that would be shall we say not approved or licensed (amphetamine / cocaine / or others illicit drugs) and starving her self while on this med as well.

I know personally of several people who have been on this med with amazing results including a couple with over 100 ponds in a year. The well controlled studies show minimal risk (the big one being multiple endocrine neoplasia is there is a family history). Further one is the main side effects is constipation not diarrhea.

But some people simply jump to conclusions without much knowledge of the medication itself and blame big pharma

I agree with your assessment.

She should have taken Balance of Nature...at least it doesn’t do anything. Now banned...but the damned ads keep running. Those idiots who swear they’ll take it til they die are going to face the choice of not taking them or dying early.
