This is going to be one of the biggest modern-day miracle drugs so far. Ozempic will not only save millions of lives in India but also bring a cultural change in eating habits and billions in savings to people from obesity-related side effects on other organs and body parts, including knee joint replacements.

Ozempic copies will cost as low as $14 in India as the era of generic GLP-1 begins bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

America and Israel target military assets, while trying — not always successfully — to limit harm to civilians.
Iran’s regime targets population centers, including with cluster munitions, to inflict maximum civilian harm.

“I was in all of Tehran until yesterday, and really, the destruction relative to the city's size is so minimal that you could wander around for an hour and not see a thing. Just like I didn't. Like the intensity of the bombing noises, this too depends on where you live and isn't the same for everyone.”

The Great Hospital Con: Doctors Without Borders (MSF) pulled out of the al-Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, and just yesterday explained its decision. It has said exactly what I have repeatedly talked about for over a year and shared personal examples of friends of mine being imprisoned, interrogated, and tortured within various facilities inside the hospital from Hamas's intelligence and security services. MSF is two years late to this recognition but it is ultimately confirming what even a child in southern Gaza could have told the organization or the NYT, Washington Post, BBC, Al Jazeera and countless others had they bothered to ask - which is that Hamas has literally turned Gaza's three main hospitals into headquarters for security, ministerial, and administrative operations.
When I said this time and again, people would yell and scream how I was irresponsibly justifying Israel’s targeting of the hospital, even as the same people would not utter a word about their favorite terrorist fascist organization jeopardizing the safety of medical facilities for two years of the deadly war.
Congratulations “pro-Palestine” activists: you have been conned by your beloved resistance organization which has caused the death of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians by its conduct and behavior.
Get Hamas out of Gaza’s hospitals now!

Killing or injuring healthcare workers, bombing hospitals, targeting ambulances, isn’t just a "war consequence"; it’s a collapse of humanity.
Under international humanitarian law, patients and humanitarian workers are protected along with the hospitals they work in and the ambulances they rely on.

Hi @ICRC. Anything about the Iranian regime massacring 50,000+ of their own people or raining down missiles and cluster bombs on entire Israeli population areas - including hospitals?

Ozempic costs $936/month in the US. As of tomorrow in India, it'll cost $40.
The Ozempic patent expired this week in India. 50+ Indian generic makers are launching copies. India already supplies 20% of the world's generic drugs and just did the same thing to weight-loss medication that it did to HIV drugs two decades ago: made them affordable for billions.
Patents also fell in China (17+ generics in Phase 3), Brazil, and Canada. Combined, that's 40% of the world's population.
Meanwhile, @EliLillyandCo just dropped results for what comes next. Retatrutide hits three gut hormones instead of one.
In Phase 3, patients lost 28.7% of body weight (71 lbs average), the biggest weight loss ever recorded in a late-stage trial. A1C dropped 2% in a diabetes cohort.
The old guard goes cheap. The next generation goes bigger. 890 million adults with obesity are watching.
