How long til we're all on Ozempic?

A lot of people take blood pressure, cholesterol, and other medications daily for their entire lives.

If Ozempic ends up being another such drug, I don't think that's a bad thing.

I'm not so sure about that.

All the people I know who are on those for-life medications absolutely hate the fact that they have to keep taking those pills every day until they die.

eh, my inner "prepper" is annoyed by the dependency, the rest of me is pleased that I've already lived longer than any of my male ancestors. (Kind of hard to sneer at advanced technology given what I do for a living :-)

Ozempic will not be needed for preppers. With modern society gone you will just be hungry a lot like nature intended

I was talking about one of the other "for-life medications" in the previous comment that are more in the "can't get this any more? oops, in 6 months your head explodes" category...
