  1. Estimated $20 billion to reduce 142 events (absolute 1.5% reduction) over 3 years does not seem very cost effective. Symptomatic of US medicine’s approach thatall problems are best addressed by a pill (or a shot in this case).

  2. Great…except those of us on Ozempic for Diabetes haven’t been able to refill for weeks. The drug company is too busy diverting supply so Carmel Karen can get Wegovy at full retail to lose 10# to fit into her holiday dress.
