Seems to be a rehash of the Reuters story

Reuters: "Meet the Americans who make their own weight-loss drugs" 27-Jun-25

"Most of the gray market buyers Reuters interviewed had told their medical providers they were taking GLP-1 medicines but not where or how they bought them." https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/stung-by-high-prices-americans-make-their-own-weight-loss-drugs-2025-06-27/

Wow! Emma Lee (for Yahoo) deserves a Pulitzer for her in depth copy of an old Reuter's story! TBO the Reuter's original was a no brainier as well.

In other old news Michael Jackson died!

No reflection on you @Biglemon! I'm surprised Yahoo attached a name. Emma musta asked Alexa. I've caught local news casters ending mid sentence when their AI generated script is only a partial!

The difference in this article is they mention semaglutidefreespeech on reddit. I'm kind of surprised because that Sub isn't very active anymore. The reta sub is way more active nowadays.
