Hundreds of People in UK Hospitals with Serious Reactions to Weight-Loss Injections

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, 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.

But this is hardly the first time that the UK government has attempted to tackle obesity. From half-heartedly promoting healthy eating to slapping a tax on sugary drinks, countless initiatives have been thrown at the problem. But they’ve all failed. Today, one in three UK adults is still obese. The notion that drugs are going to achieve what decades of public health policy couldn’t is just wishful thinking.

Moreover, while the injections are being pushed as the ultimate fix for obesity and unemployment, they come with a slew of unpleasant side effects that no one is talking about loudly enough. Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and abdominal pain are particularly common. And if patients stop having the injections, most or all of the weight they have lost will likely come back. At a cost of around $1,000 per month per patient, the pharma industry has a vested interest in people becoming dependent on these treatments.
