The blockbuster weight loss drug sold as Ozempic and Wegovy [has, on 21 March, gone] generic in countries that are home to 40 percent of the world’s population, significantly lowering the price of a costly medicine that had been largely unaffordable to nearly all but the wealthiest people. On Saturday, Novo Nordisk, the company that until now has had a monopoly on selling the drug, will lose patent protection in several of the world’s most populous countries. The first generic versions are expected to arrive in India as soon as this weekend. In the coming months, the generics are also expected to become available in China, Canada, Brazil, Turkey and South Africa.
everything I want to say to you will be removed
exactly. if that’s your impulse… you probably need some better mental health habits and emotional regulation.
I have my own health problems. I am not here blasting other people about them and how horrible and unfair my life is because of them… why is that you think?
because you don’t care for other people but will whine about other people not caring enough to lose weight
nobody is here “blasting” you they are speaking from their own experience with weight loss and all you had to say was to question their mental health
yeah i lack emotional regulation, like that’s a thing for me and people with my condition, at least i know my faults
I don’t care for random internet strangers and people in the vague abstract mass of humanity, yeah. It’s fucking weird that anyone thinks that is legitimate caring. It isn’t. It’s just a proxy for grand standing and ego-stroking.
I don’t care about their experience. It has no impact on what is a massive public health issue. The world is not about them and their individual experiences. And their inability to see usually means they are a egotistical nutjob who thinks everything is about themselves and their personal feelings… which actually is the type of people who give a shit about nobody but themselves.
Randomly going into vivid detail abut all your personal problems to vent at some stranger you feel has aggrieved you in a public space is insane and hostile behavior. I’m sure if I randomly went up to you and started screaming at you about my personal health issues, you’d find that very offputting and offensive and you’d wonder if I was off my meds.
There is nothing hostile about challenging your narrowmindedness with anecdote. You don’t need to care about every living being on this planet to understand that you can’t just pull a one size fits all blanket over a problem to make it go away.
There is nuance, individual expereince does matter when discussing public health issues. Your statement about people being too lazy to make the effort is clearly misjudged. The fact that i am one example of evidence of that does not mean i think its all about me. Seriously, you are out of touch.
It is funny that you address everyone here, talking about me, except for me. The person you are talking about.
Why don’t you have this conversation with me?
it’s weird that you think that is just egostroking, that’s where we differ
and you would be amazed by town hall meetings! it is exactly as you said! random people you don’t know come in a public space to share their grievances and complains
but hey, if you don’t care about their experience then why should i care about anything you say? im out!
or, perhaps, they wanted to show you a different perspective you do not know without aggression
I’ve met tons of whiny people my entire life who write essays about their problems. I don’t need to hear from more of them. I understand lemmy is full to the brim with them though, who have delusions of grandeur because they PC game with linux or something, and yet they can seem to struggle with basic adult tasks. weird how that works.
when it comes to making aggressive assumptions about what you read, it is your responsibility to pull yourself up by the glasses.
in this case, a certain person clearly mentioned not having finished the NHS’s wait time.
