I'm glad you enjoy my little outbursts of sarcasm. It's how I keep myself sane (relatively speaking 🤣).

after NOVO's huge crash in stock markets today I had to go back to your excellent podcasts regarding this topic. People wondering why it's stock price has gone down so much because of a mere miss of weight loss target.

I'm sure Novo Nordisk has already factored in the cost of all the lawsuits that will be coming some time in the next decade or so, and made the calculation that they'll still be turning a profit - just like Merck did with Vioxx, as is now a matter of public record.

AUSPAR report at https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/auspar-victoza.pdf contains the following comment: "There were no outstanding issues regarding

bioavailability, endotoxin content, pen performance, container safety or viral safety" (p. 9).

Here's an interesting experimental finding related to liraglutide's effect on endogenous endotoxin production via the gut microbiota: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9835552/.

Fantastic article! It is truly mind numbing to read the words of so called experts that act as shills for Pharma. I am ordering Dr. Gotzsche’s book…more confirmation that the Pharma game has always been about profit over patient health.

It's wild, isn't it? I looked up Dr Daniel Frank and found his practice website (https://mednorthwest.com/team/) and he seems like a very caring doctor. There are no drug company payments to him listed on the Open Payments website (https://openpaymentsdata.cms.gov/). As far as I'm able to tell, Dr Frank genuinely believes that GLP-1 agonists are a godsend for his overweight and diabetic patients. In a way, this makes me even more concerned about the type of 'education' that doctors are receiving.

You'll love Dr Gotzsche’s book, and while you're at it, grab his other titles: Mammography Screening: Truth, Lies and Controversy, and Deadly Psychiatry and Organised Denial. He's a fearless truth-teller who has been severely punished for his life-saving work.
