https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Po6m8jnkeU&t=936s if you want to see tales of the tempest actually being bad i present its combat its not the worst thing ive ever played but its jank and clunk as gently caress and barely anything happens in the story so the combat is what has to carry it

Inspector Gesicht posted:D'Angelo Wallace, looking like half the Greek Pantheon, on the destructive trend of a diabetes drug being marketed and sold as weight-loss magic. The Ozempic backlash is so pathetic. "We've found a drug that cures one of the most dangerous and costly chronic health issues in our society, but some rich people might abuse it and people get all in their feelings about how their body is perceived, so it is now your duty to hate it and anyone who uses it." It's like the breadtube version of anti-vaxxers.

The commercials for Ozempic and Rybelsus are so obnoxious that I'm predisposed to disliking its use as a weight loss supplement long before getting into the weeds of the health issues it can cause and the way it's affecting stockpiles intended for diabetes treatment.

Famethrowa posted:im happy for you but commercializing a medication with serious sideeffects to sell to housewives on billboards is pretty hosed up. even the manufacturer is taking action to sue these spas and you cant tell me they dont like getting more money, Yeah, this whole "serious side effect" is mostly pulled out of people's asses and spread as online gossip by people who want there to be some big consequence for people taking the drug. No, it does not freeze your loving digestion. The biggest actual potential side effect is that it can accelerate growth in cancerous medullary thyroid tissue, the rarest type of thyroid cancer that you do need to be checked for beforehand (but, of course, since medullary thyroid cancer makes up far less than 10% of thyroid cancer cases it's about as much of a concern for the general public as people having serious averse reactions to the covid vaccine). Yeah, the health spa thing is annoying and something Novo Nordisk probably should have realized was going to happen. That said, the tenor of the actual backlash to ozempic/wegovy/etc uses those as an absolute fig leaf for their actual complaint (which is that there is a proven cure for obesity now so decades of HAES lies are finally being dismantled).

Greatly over-stating the harm (if 1% of people on Wegovy were suffering this side effect there would be many thousands of cases and it would be all over the news), entirely fictional scenarios for how the medicine is received (even when sold in a strip mall it's still a prescription that you have to get from a medical provider), and a general aura of fear for a medicine that has been studied and found to be safe for many years now in medical trials.

How much of this is an American perspective? Prescription drug advertisement laws in Canada aren't ideal by any stretch but the American channels we occasionally get have insane ads in comparison.

'theres a lot of fearmongering around this' and 'people who have no real issues shouldnt be taking this even if the risk of side effects is minor' can both be true

Prescription drug advertisement laws in Canada aren't ideal by any stretch but the American channels we occasionally get have insane ads in comparison. Most of the time it’s weird because you’ll get an ad for something for a really specific medical issue that your doctor would be in charge of anyway, and they need to write the prescription. I see less ads in general now though I remember growing up there being a billion TV commercials for prescription meds.

There isn’t really a single unified backlash and chalking this up to “the breadtube of antivaxx” or whatever is dumb. There’s a contingent of people, arguably “of the left”, who criticize GLP1 drugs from the standpoint of fatphobia and body shaming. “Body positivists” and so-forth see the drugs as a further step in the promotion and normalization of unrealistic/etc body standards and the demonization/pathologizing of otherwise normal, diverse, and healthy bodies that do not conform to those standards. I’m not here to argue for/against their viewpoint. There’s a lot of stuff that I agree with and also a lot of stuff that I do not agree with at all in that space. There are people claiming to be body-positive or body-neutral or whatever that will straight up argue that obesity “isn’t real”, etc. They are not the majority or the norm, for all that they attract a lions share of attention. Anyway, then there are a lot of other people who are criticizing and mocking the use of these drugs from the standpoint of just being fat-shamey. To them Ozempic/etc is “cheating”, rich people buying their way into skinniness without doing the necessary work. They see fatness as a failure of character: you don’t have the discipline or the work ethic or the self-control or self-respect to be “fit” the old fashioned way and if you take ozempic/etc then you are simply trying to buy your way into skinniness without “earning” it. It’s very similar to a lot of the mockery that gastric band/resection/etc surgeries got in the 2000s, as though having abdominal surgery and living with profound changes to the way one’s body works is “easy mode” compared to “just running more” or whatever. These are not the same criticism.

If not, do you not understand how commercialized our drug mills are? "Medical provider" is an incredible stretch in some cases. There is very little to no follow-up or recourse should a serious side effect occur. I don't care if people have a doctor monitoring and making sure people are safe during use. It sounds like you had that, and I'm sure millions more do have that, which I see no reason to have a problem with! It's the combination of diet discourse plus mainstream advertisement with a powerful drug that is worrisome.

Yeah it's not like the Ivermectin situation during the height of the covid pandemic where people were wildly abusing doses intended for horses and suffering some pretty gnarly side effects, such as making GBS threads out their intestinal linings. (Ivermectin pills prescribed by doctors for legitimate reasons are another thing entirely) Another issue with that situation is that people who needed Ivermectin paste for their horses faced a severe shortage for some time That bullshit was also heavily politicized and pushed by Fox News pundits and MAGA facebook conspiracists
