I don't know much about Ozempic, but a similar fad and market push has been in place for Lipitor. I was shocked to learn that, at the time I read about it, Lipitor was the most heavily purchased drug. Not just the most heavily-purchased heart-related drug, but the most heavily-purchased DRUG, period. With all kinds of adverse side effects, and no particular improvement over pre-existing cholesterol-lowering drugs. There is a book out that details this whole backstory ("The Great Cholesterol Myth" by Jonny Bowden and Dr. Stephen Sinatra). I got off Lipitor and off statins. It is possible to lower cholesterol by other means, and it is more important to lower blood vessel inflammation that causes cholesterol to be a problem with plaque. Cholesterol is produced by the body (not ingested from food) and is the stuff necessary for healthy nerve growth.
What is worse than a doctor not knowing shit? When a doctor knows only shit. For me, I guess that was an early red pill (ironically speaking).
