The UK government is betting big on injectable weight-loss drugs. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and Health Secretary Wes Streeting are even promoting them as the solution to getting the unemployed back to work, claiming the shots will not only tackle obesity but also boost the UK economy. In reality, however, their enthusiasm for these drugs has little to do with health. Far from being ‘miracle drugs,’ weight-loss injections like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy are simply the latest cynical attempt to feed the insatiable greed of the pharmaceutical investment business.

Reflecting their roles as political stakeholders for the pharma industry, Starmer and Streeting are pinning their hopes on a clinical trial to be run in partnership with American drug giant Eli Lilly, which will inject obese unemployed people with Mounjaro. But in their zeal to worship at the trillion-dollar altar of the pharma industry, they are ignoring the fact that obesity is just one part of a multi-faceted health problem. Treating it without addressing its root causes is not the answer.
