To truly appreciate the joys of socialized medicine, look no further than the UK right now. The new Prime Minister Kier Starmer’s regime has announced plans to forcibly inject fat people with the weight loss drug semaglutide, which is better known as Ozempic. Obesity is costing the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) tons of money, so why not force people into taking more medical injections that they may not want? It worked great during COVID!
The NHS is now spending an average of more than £11 billion per year to treat obesity-related illnesses. It’s costing the country even more money than that, however, because morbidly obese people drop out of the workforce and start collecting disability benefits.
Starmer has announced that the government will pay pharmaceutical company Lilly £279 million for enough doses of Ozempic to forcibly jab every fat person in the Greater Manchester area. That will be the pilot program. If it works and they get a bunch of fat people to lose weight, the British government will then roll out the forcible injections of fat people across the country.
The Prime Minister says that the forced injections are “very important for our NHS, because, yes we need more money for the NHS.”
“But we’ve also got to think differently,” he added.
Right… because a nanny-state government bossing people around is so different than what any government has tried before!
Ozempic was originally a diabetes drug until Lilly realized that it could cause fat people to lose weight without diet or exercise. It works by suppressing a person’s appetite, which results in them reducing calories and shedding weight.
One of the problems with Ozempic is that people who lose weight by using it put the weight back on immediately if they stop taking it. It’s true that people will lose weight, but they don’t have to enact any lifestyle changes that would allow them to keep the weight off. They eat nothing but cake and Doritos and they’ll still shed pounds from Ozempic.
Like all powerful pharmaceutical drugs, Ozempic also carries some nasty side effects. Let’s check the insert in case any of the British people want to object as the government is forcibly injecting them with this wonder concoction.
One of the known side effects of Ozempic is thyroid cancer. Oh, dear. This isn’t off to a very good start.
Headaches, confusion, and blurred vision are also known side effects. Hypoglycemia, diabetic retinopathy that leads to blindness, kidney disease, gall bladder disease, and pancreatitis are also on the list. But at least you won’t be fat!
Nausea, vomiting, heartburn, diarrhea, constipation, burping, and farting are also side effects of Ozempic. The good news is that’s not as bad as the 1,400-plus known side effects of the COVID shots they tried to force everyone to take. The bad news is that governments around the world now assume, post-COVID, that it’s okay to forcibly inject people with medicines they might not willingly want to take.
It’s only recommended that a person take Ozempic for up to two years. After that point, the risk of the most serious side effects from the drug kick into high gear. It also means that in a couple of years, most if not all of the people forcibly injected will simply start gaining weight again. The goal is supposedly to help get fat people off the welfare rolls. The UK government is assuming that there will be good jobs waiting for all these people after they force them to lose weight.
None of the potential complications of this have been thought through by British leaders. They just seem eager to force more shots into the arms of people.
