“While it isn’t clear how he could alter the trajectory of the GLP-1 market, it won't be positive for the industry to have a powerful government official opposed to it.”

i didn't read this because it was doing something weird "verifying your device" .
in general he'll be good getting rid of bureaucrats that are a drag on progress and having less regulation. we think.

Smokysquid in another forum helpfully posted link for those who can’t access original.
his stated views are not consistent so it's hard to say what he will do. from what i can tell the common thread is a general cloud of anti-establishment viewpoints, but whether that means pharma ozempic bad/bootleg ozempic good remains to be seen. we're in for a wild ride with an administration that is all over the map and with no real platform.

I'm going to keep this comment politically neutral, but from what I've seen from him personally, my take on RFK Jr and peptides is that he seems to think peptides are a good thing if you're fit and want to get jacked (I'd bet money he's using HGH 
), but that he looks at GLPs with disdain, and thinks "clean food", exercise and a clean environment are what overweight people need.

To clarify, by “here” you mean the political appointments that are very obviously driven by fealty vs professional experience and suitability, not “here” as in glp1forum?
Who knows if he'll be confirmed or if he does half of what he talks about. Some of his statements make it seem like he's in favor of the non-glp1 peptides, though what he actually means - more government funding of research so we get clinical trials, or just putting them back on the FDA compounding list, or something else entirely - is unclear from everything I've seen.
I know people that grew up on wellwater without added flouride and can say that I am absolutely a believer in flouridating the water supply, though.

Anyone know a peptide that kills brain worms?
the good news is that it looks like the senate doesn't have the votes for a recess, so these trump appointments will all be getting grilled by the senate. the problem is, there's just so many terrible appointments (take your pick between gabbard, gaetz, rfk, etc) that it's unlikely we'll be able to stop them all.

even if they are "stopped" it's 95% he'll find a yes person to do anything. this is how most of corporate America works. independent thinkers do not get very high up in the company. i don't know why people think they've never seen any of this before. we all live it everyday.
eh, it depends on the role. look at merrick garland. or jerome powell. not all presidential appointments are yes men. trump's situation is a bit unique as well as he doesn't really have a platform or a plan on anything beyond what just sounds good to his supporters at any given moment. these appointments are more about rewarding his friends for supporting him during the campaign which i believe means they'll be operating with little to no direction/directive from trumps administration (but we'll see how that goes i guess).
ironically i think ivermectin might do it.
unless they go OTC at dollar tree i'll be sticking to daddy tracy. dealing with the healthcare system is a fricking nightmare, and "affordable" is a very relative word when we have access to $0.50/mg tirzepatide.
i would put a lot of money on jpow's replacement being the yessiest of yes men, moreso than any other appointment. one thing djt does care about is the ability to directly control interest rates so he can juice the economy before elections. i wouldnt be surprised if jared is the next fed chairman.
