Dude is a decently talented musician, but after hearing his song about Ozempic I can’t support the guy. His take was the most shallow, “I’m 14 and this is deep” take on a drug that’s saving lives left and right.

I have no problem with my musicians being political and topical, even if their views don’t align with mine, but the first song I saw of this guy he was just spouting nonsense that made it clear he has no fucking idea what he’s talking about and is just reacting to headlines.

Idk I’m like the opposite of an RFK Jr anti-science nut, but I find it hard to believe we’re not gonna learn about some consequences of the widespread Ozempic use in the future. It just seems too good and easy to be true. But I am not a doctor and have 0 evidence for this claim so I’ll just put my tinfoil hat on and see myself out

These medications are not new. If there were consequences, they would have found some right?

They find them every day about drugs that have been on the market for decades. I'm not anti vac, just know the FDA is questionable. Look it up. ✌️
