Seems like a wonder drug to me. The benefits just keep piling up.

Where I live (Sweden), there's a perhaps surprisingly large portion of overweight/obesese people, especially in the countryside. Semaglutide could really do wonders here for quality of life and health.

Meanwhile, the newspapers keep pushing exceptional scare stories. The one that stuck with me from a few weeks ago went like 'I puked up my own poop.' Perhaps tellingly, the people they tend to feature in these stories typically aren't really overweight.

It is not yet generally subsidized, unless you have a diabetes type 2 diagnose. It really should be, above some BMI (sans body builders).
