I partly agree with Kennedy. Ozempic will not make America healthy again. You will have to look into lifestyle choices.

This being said, if you want to go the medication route, there are not patents for medications in India. You could try to obtain it from India: https://dir.indiamart.com/impcat/semaglutide-tablet.html

I am not an MD and this is not medical advise.

QUESTION: If I live in the US in state XZ, what is the best, easiest way (zoom?) to get a valid prescription to order drugs from Mark Cuban? https://www.costplusdrugs.com

> Ozempic will not make America healthy again

Will it help a significant net number of Americans be healthier? If so, then it should be made available to those people.

> You will have to look into lifestyle choices

That's not being questioned, is it? Who doesn't understand that exercise and eating well is better than not exercising and eating garbage all day?

You were obviously not able to understand my argument.
Ozempic treats a problems (overweight) and might prevent problems further down the road (diabetes, high blood pressure, heart problems etc.) with trade offs like higher risk for specific cancers.
It does not treat the underlying cause ob obesity. One that might be highly processed food and Kennedy, whatever you think of him, stated this correctly.
Where in my post do you see that I said that Ozempic should not be made available? Please work on your reading abilities.

  > It does not treat the underlying cause obesity.
  Obesity is caused by compulsive excess calorie intake. That’s precisely what Ozempic treats.
  Kennedy is a grifter who profits from quack medicine. Ozempic, because of its effectiveness, threatens the supplements industry which is rife with quack cures for obesity. This is the reason he’s against it.

  "Obesity is caused by compulsive excess calorie intake."
  OMG. Please don't try to lecture a STEM PhD in Science.
  Obesity is caused by many things. Genetics, epigenetics, psychology, bad food (highly processed, addictive taste), social interactions, gut microbiome, hormone balance disruptions (plastics?) possibly even viral infections.
  Kennedy may be many things. Maybe even an idiot. With the statement that "Ozempic will not make America healthy again" he is right. If you have a smoking epidemic, better lung cancer treatment is not the right answer. What again does not include that better lung cancer treatments should not be available.

Ozempic is only effective with lifestyle changes. The medication makes those changes easier. You should understand the effects of medication before you spout falsehoods.
