I would argue that the subject here is far more nuanced than this.
As for Ozempic, I would advise caution to anyone considering it for two (imo) good reasons:
-Big pharma is not to be trusted
-There's no long term safety data on the drug
-Bonus third reason(!): You're not going to feel good about weight loss and keep the weight off unless you EARN it. That means exercise and eating well.
That being said, peptides are just amino acid chains. There's a ton of novel peptides to be found in natural toxins, many with unique/useful properties. The fact that a component of the drug comes from a Gila Monster peptide is far less concerning to me than idiot scientists playing god with gene therapies that they barely understand (the Jab).
Mother Nature has build some truly amazing compounds, including some very useful peptides in natural venoms. There are TONS of great peptide therapies out there, many of which were derived from natural animal sources. Obviously, the usual cautions apply with any drug, peptides included.
This vile drug has a black box warning label stating it will cause thyroid cancer. It will also cause gallstones, pacreatitis, retinopathy, and paralysis of your digestive system. It causes extreme fatigue in over 80% of its users, which makes sense, considering you're being poisoned by the toxins from the Gila lizard, which causes paralysis of the digestive system. Long term effects include illeus and the need for emergency surgery for intestinal blockages. There is nothing good about this drug class, and there is enough data to show that long-term effects are not positive. Ozimpec has been around since 2017.
The concerning thing is that the government is now offering these weight loss and diabetic medications through medicare. Its like big pharma took all the money they pumped into the covid shots and are now pumping it into this new venom to promote weight loss.
You will see a lot of people get sick quickly. Personal story--I had to save one of our patients from ozimpec abuse recently. Patient is still suffering from long term effects, and was only on ozimpec for 6 months. When I accompanied patient to patient's fourth ER visit for stomach pain, nausea, and vomiting, I finally got the ER doc to convince her to stop ozimpec cold turkey. Patient was afraid of stopping cold turkey because of fears of gaining weight, but patient later told me that the initial weight loss was 30lbs and then patient gained 50lbs total, for a net gain of 20lbs after starting ozimpec for diabetes type 1. Patient was also suffering from extreme suicidal ideation after each weekly ozimpec injection, which is also a notable side effect from ozimpec that the FDA has been investigating.
This drug will end up killing a lot of people long-term, slowly making them sick and paralyzing their organs, while the medical monster sucks up their life energy, looshing off their pain and suffering, and taking away their well-being and finances while they try to cope with their envenomation, paralysis, and long-term effects.
