RFK Jr. and GLP-1s

[Biglemon]

“While it isn’t clear how he could alter the trajectory of the GLP-1 market, it won't be positive for the industry to have a powerful government official opposed to it.”

i didn't read this because it was doing something weird "verifying your device" .

in general he'll be good getting rid of bureaucrats that are a drag on progress and having less regulation. we think.

his stated views are not consistent so it's hard to say what he will do. from what i can tell the common thread is a general cloud of anti-establishment viewpoints, but whether that means pharma ozempic bad/bootleg ozempic good remains to be seen. we're in for a wild ride with an administration that is all over the map and with no real platform.

We're already buying it black market from China anyway lmao who cares what they say/do

I'm going to keep this comment politically neutral, but from what I've seen from him personally, my take on RFK Jr and peptides is that he seems to think peptides are a good thing if you're fit and want to get jacked (I'd bet money he's using HGH ), but that he looks at GLPs with disdain, and thinks "clean food", exercise and a clean environment are what overweight people need.

Although it’s fun to toy around with hobbyists and joke about research, I really do appreciate the seriousness that comes with rigorous science. The assault on expertise shown here is staggering.

To clarify, by “here” you mean the political appointments that are very obviously driven by fealty vs professional experience and suitability, not “here” as in glp1forum?

Who knows if he'll be confirmed or if he does half of what he talks about. Some of his statements make it seem like he's in favor of the non-glp1 peptides, though what he actually means - more government funding of research so we get clinical trials, or just putting them back on the FDA compounding list, or something else entirely - is unclear from everything I've seen.

I know people that grew up on wellwater without added flouride and can say that I am absolutely a believer in flouridating the water supply, though.

Anyone know a peptide that kills brain worms?

Seems like the new administration may end up on the same page.

Either way, again, we're literally buying black market drugs from China lmfao who cares what the laws or policies are

Yes. Us guys and girls are nuts and should be completely ignored.

unless they go OTC at dollar tree i'll be sticking to daddy tracy. dealing with the healthcare system is a fricking nightmare, and "affordable" is a very relative word when we have access to $0.50/mg tirzepatide.

Does Leon know it’s an agonist and not an inhibitor

 

[clayd]

politics aside, i figure he can't really hurt the cause for access to glp1. may not help it either, but probably won't hurt it

The rush to punish China coupled with a general disdain towards GLP-1 may cut the supply off. I am building a stockpile and will wait a couple of years until the dust settles.

I'm thinking about stockpiling more as well for this reason. There may not be a way to tariff gray market peptides, but I wouldn't be surprised if customs becomes more aggressive trying to enforce tariffs, which would lead to more seizures and thus vendors increasing prices to make up for the increase in lost shipments.

If there’s a grift, he’ll find it.

Hoping the worm in his brain finishes the job.

It's unlikely EL's giant piles of money will ever let him threaten their business though.
