RFK Jr. and GLP-1s

[exploitedworkerbee]

ok, i am being a naughty mod engaging in political chit chat on our politics-free site, which i apologize for. let's try to keep the convo focused on peptide issues specifically, which most of you have done. sorry for being part of the problem.

Compared to pretty much everywhere else on the internet, I'm actually impressed at how civil this thread has stayed overall

“They’re counting on selling it to Americans because we’re so stupid and so addicted to drugs,” Kennedy said in an appearance with Fox News’ Greg Gutfeld that he posted to Instagram last month, concluding that Ozempic, a wildly popular medicine approved to treat type 2 diabetes and used off-label for weight loss, is not going to “Make America Healthy Again.”

Doesn’t look like he’s in favor of broadening access.

I don't really want to get involved in a political discussion, because it's so divisive and I'm more of a lover than a fighter, but I just want to let you all know that if you didn't vote exactly like I did, YOU ARE DEAD TO ME!

DEAD

With that being said, I hope you all have a nice Sunday filled with laughter and love.

there you have it folks, the leadership of the free world. at least you can see in RFK's eyes that he is aware of the faustian bargain he has made. the others are just slurp slurp sluuuuuuuurping it up.

Not gonna lie, I just had a Soylent shake for breakfast, and that pic of Mickey D's is looking awfully good......

RFK: Processed food and sugar is bad!

Also RFK: McNuggets, a Big Mac and a coke.

The F stands for Faustus. Nailed it.

I think we are all a little hypocritical at times though, bee. Take me for example, I'm a church going, God fearing, hard working, decent man, but I spent all of Friday and Saturday on a cocaine bender with a prostitute. Does that mean that I'm not still all of those words I used to describe myself earlier? I'm not sure, that's for you to decide... I haven't had much time to think about it. I've been searching for my wallet all day.

just say 3 hail mary's and you will yet again be pure as new driven snow. maybe not, well at least as pure as the peptides i inject.

White suburban women may have voted him into office but touch their ozempic or their diet coke and I think you are gonna have problems.

Thats all well and good, party on, but I’m sorry to break it to you, I really don’t want you running a key government agency.

I'm very offended. I think I would make an excellent leader and I think if we created a poll regarding this, most people in here would be perfectly fine with me being in charge of the nukes or healthcare for our country. And if not, then the whole system is rigged and it's time to overthrow the current admin team in this forum.

Heads on pikes, bee! Heads on pikes!

Stingers on toothpicks, bee! Stingers on toothpicks!!!

I think you mean white men. Yeah, there were also a significant portion of EVERY sex and race demographic that voted for him. None of those identities are purely intelligent/ moral/ pragmatic.

But I do silently laugh at my fellow suburban white women who are paying a 5,000% markup on their GLP1s while trying to gatekeep it from X type of people whom they claim don’t need/ deserve it.

I'm a partisan guy with strong political opinions, however, I hope to keep this site nonpolitical. Basically, I just don't people who used to get along on the site fighting over politics. If you hate Trump, you'll focus on RFK Jr.'s comments about GLP-1 drugs for weight loss being bad. If you love Trump, you'll focus on RFK's comments about the FDA needs to stop regulating peptides. I'll offer my opinion that while possible changes from a new Trump administration could be good or bad for us, there is no clear answer as to how he'll affect access to GLP-1 drugs obtained through the gray market.

Very well said. Thank you.

lol now we’ve got Dr Oz overseeing Medicare and Medicaid, anyone know his stance on glp1s? Can we expect our senior friends to get better coverage?

What a time to be alive.

 

[halfwaythere]

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.

Yeah well Ive been doing that for years and it hasnt helped
