Should the government give away Ozempic?

Novo Nordisk A/S’s blockbuster shot Ozempic was linked to an increased risk of a rare form of vision loss in a study that backs up Harvard University research published earlier this year.

Diabetes patients who used Ozempic were more than twice as likely to be diagnosed with the rare condition, called NAION, than those who took another type of diabetes drug, according to a team of researchers who studied years of patient records from Denmark and Norway. The study wasn’t able to determine whether there was a similar impact among people taking Ozempic’s sister drug, Wegovy, for obesity.

Meaning The findings suggest a potential risk of NAION associated with prescriptions for semaglutide, but future study is required to assess causality.

Seems remarkably like the study that British doctor did which found a potential risk for gastrointestinal disease and rapid cognitive decline in children who received a MMR injection. And even though no association was proven (or claimed), further investigations were warranted.

What was that doctor’s name again? Oh yeah. Wakefield. That’s it.

And there was no association found.

And there was no association found.

There was no association PROVEN, which was clearly stated by Wakefield and his co-authors.

There WAS enough correlation found to merit further studies.

Wakefield was a straw man.

There was no association PROVEN,

Yep. That's correct.
