I cancelled my subscription to the Washington Post because they keep publishing "articles" about how glorious Wegovy/Ozempic is and how it should be covered by all insurances so everyone can take this "wonder drug" that is of course completely safe [because they never discuss the serious, life-threatening side effects of the med]. The last one actually pulled out the old "going back to old bad habits" BS when talking about the weight regain that happens when you stop taking the drug. [Not that NN wants you to stop taking a drug they're charging $$$$ for.]
Also can we take a moment to marvel over how their marketing department thought actors who pretend to be doctors on tv were the best people to market their next blockbuster? I mean, the bar they use to justify this junk science is LOW.
Pharma companies have sponsored grand rounds for years, and I’m so relieved that they’re finally getting called out for it. Pharma brands should not be putting their names on medical education.

Wow, this was a wild ride. Incredible.

Or patient education, for that matter.
How do they sleep at night? So evil!
