The story of ozempic - besides saving millions of lives and saving billions for the healthcare system - ozempic is a scientific breakthrough everybody should know about - it was discovered because someone studied the spit of a lizard that only eats 6 times a year the Gila monster - so first 🧵

And they’re doing their best to keep it under wraps exactly who is doing it.
I don’t like those guys.
Variations on this theme are quite common in everything from medicine to materials science.
Basic scientific research fuels innovation.
Without it there's nothing.
For a small batch whiskey or tequila maybe…
Lizard Spit casket aged whiskey.
Here’s spit in your eye.
It's a lizard pill with a big story to tell.
I take once daily Lizard Spit, and I want more!!"
However, treating diabetes patients with GLP-1 hormones resulted in significant side effects, leading researchers financed by Novo Nordisk to start looking to develop a suitable compound for therapeutic use.[47]

If you wish, there is a great book on metabolic dysfunction: Metabolical by Dr. Lustig.
(And it's quite fresh drug, long term side effects on the broader population are still to be discovered)
Don't get me wrong, there are better examples than ozempic

I just got my first delivery of Mounjaro today. Lost 4 stones on Saxenda but regained during covid. Tried Ozempic for a month and didn’t notice any suppression of apetite like I had with Saxenda, so opted to try Mounjaro

I know you wankers like to take credit, but don't blatantly lie.
Pharma companies turn the PoC into a drug that can pass the safety testing and will cause minimal harm vs benefit in people.
Ozempic costs 10% of what it does in the United States and other countries.
I know the answer… just want to throw this little fact out there highlighting “Big Pharma”
Funding science is essential. But why do we have to “bargain” with pharmaceutical companies to charge us the same as other nations?
the people that are treated or the company that reaps the profit from the research?
it's bullshit public funds get paid walled after those funds deliver a break thru in treatment.
Actually the very basics research is often funded by non government agencies interested in conservation and basic animal welfare.
Next to impossible to get funding for basic research.
Conservatives want a quick payback.
I have had friends do great on it NOW & their mental attitudes are BETTER😁 but they are still couch Tators, eat bad & don’t exercise…only depend on the injection 💉…I’m still concerned about EASY Fixes ✔️
