Americans are nothing but targets of junk from the media, food-makers, and pharma, all of which are in morbid co-collaboration
The result of being a citizen in a land where it's both easy to be fat and highly desirable not to be, all while being gaslit into medical-consumer oblivion
Elon Musk is known for many things, and lots of people have lots of opinions about him. One certainty is that no one should trust a word the man utters when anything of importance is at stake, and he never fails to have opinions on important matters whether or not anyone should reasonably expect him to know anything about these matters.
Lots of wise people were leery of the mRNA shots well before they were rolled out. They based this on a combination of a lack of adequate testing, the lack of an adequate threat posed by covid-19, and the potential for serious health problems based on how these “vaccines” were supposed to work, the latter being based on what was commonly understood pre-”pandemic” about molecular biology.
Musk, on the other hand, must have had different reasons for initially rejecting getting the shots, because whatever his convictions were in late 2020, they proved fluid.
One of Musk’s persistent problems seems to be placing undue faith in new technologies even when they fail dismally. Perhaps his own experiences with being a genuine innovator and suffering many setbacks along the way to becoming a multi-quadrillionaire have led Musk to associate failures in innovation generally—however catastrophic to normies—with an assurance of future success.
Maybe he should get out more. And exercise while he does, given that he’s on this list:
It’s gruesome that Google creates a customized panel on a search of “celebrities Ozempic,” but also not surprising since Google, drugmakers, and the media are part of the same avaricious complex intent on turning everyone into an obligatory recipient of as many profit-driving substances as possible: foods, drugs, and narratives all pathogenic to minds and bodies for anyone who consumes them, both in real time and in the future.
As another florid example of how transparent the media gaslighting has become, here’s an excerpt from that Forbes article about Musk and his family getting the jabs, my edits to which should be self-explanatory:
When a “fact-check” disappears from any major platform, it’s probably because the original claim had merit. Forbes appears willing to treat ephemeral, reversed “corrections” as legitimate and everlasting. And this is from publication for purportedly educated and discerning readers.
I can only assume that at least some readers are aware of the scope of the pertinent lie, even though the media continue to prop up this falsehood and a trove of others about both covid-19 and shots advertised as its remedy. And as you’ll see, the shots are not only unsafe for human use but were never intended or expected to be of any therapeutic benefit whatsoever. None. This money-juice was getting approved no matter what, and trials and data were constructed around this reality as necessary.
Ozempic has a startling number of things in common with the potion Musk initially resisted: It is injectable, “revolutionary,” highly profitable to its manufacturer, and a rapid-onset darling of the mainstream media. And although Ozempic has more recently been reported to have “rare but severe” unwanted effects, we* needn’t worry about these, because like all drugs prescribed in the United States, there are (silently redacted, but shhhhh) clinical trial summaries establishing Ozempic’s general safety. So what if these trials included only subjects with type II diabetes, nearly half of whom “were at high risk for cardiovascular events”? Shoot this miraculous slimming agent into one and all.
If the dizzying roster of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and later recalled for safety reasons isn’t enough to convince anyone that mistakes were known to happen in this area even before the complete regulatory capture of the FDA by pharma, it’s helpful to refer to information readily available to the media in October 2021 about the soon-to-be-released covid jabs that the media elected to omit and in fact lie about.
The absurd thing here is that Musk and everyone else taking this drug cannot possibly argue that they are doing so for any reason other than to feel better about how they look. One would think that some of the bozos in the above montage of celebrity Ozempians would have thought to weight the possible risks against any possible real reward before getting injected with Ozempic. Certainly not Jimmy Kimmel, one of the most annoying and malignantly brain-dead public figures alive, not only among entertainers but even among nighttime television hosts, a club consisting of a coterie of prancing, ignorant, self-debasing clowns. But maybe one of the MENSA candidates included, such as Khloe Kardashian.
Now, what about the “body positivity movement” that started—in its current flamboyant iteration, and branded as such—within the past ten years, and continued right on through the bulk of “the pandemic” even though even some mainstream outlets were reporting that being obese was essentially the same magnet for a more severe case of coronavirus that it has long known to be for other infectious, as well as non-infectious, diseases? Isn’t this message at odds with “Ozempic for all”?
Less than two weeks ago, The Atlantic—now a version of NPR’s propaganda-factory with fancier fonts and aimed somewhat more intelligent, if still disinformation-hungry, readers—proposed exactly this in a story titled “Could Ozempic Derail the Body-Positivity Movement?” I mean this in all seriousness, but one benefit to understanding that outlets like The Atlantic are completely demoralized is knowing in advance that any story like this is bullshit, and that discovering exactly why is simply a matter of sniffing one’s way to the middle of the verbal dungheap on offer .
The first paragraph warns that Ozempic “doesn’t work for everyone” and that it “has side effects.” This seems to be a newly urgent concern for The Atlantic, given the august publication not only very recently supported the use of a drug with these characteristics, but even wanted it mandated—with utmost contempt, at that.
The story pretending to ask whether Ozempic will ruin the “body positivity movement” is in fact, get this, a bait-and-switch: It’s an effort to sell fat people on the idea that “body positivity” is great, but obesity isn’t, which is just blatant doublethink (see also: “Antisemitism bad, Nazis good”). Most of the piece consists of an interview, with the expert subject’s concluding words these:
obesity is, like, such a huge medical problem that if we do have a way to get people to not be obese—and it’s relatively low-key and they can tolerate it well and it’s, like, widely available—I have trouble not seeing that as a good thing.
NPR pulled this same maneuver on its blinkered readers last week with “I try to be a body-positive doctor. It's getting harder in the age of Ozempic.” The headline is asinine on its face; a true supporter of “body positivity” would never fold in the face of a new drug promising an easier route to thinness, as if “lose weight fast!” is a brand-new marketing promise in this ever-bloating nation. But once you get past this and into the piece itself, you see the physician who authored the piece make an “admission”:
I started to understand that it wasn't my job to withhold Ozempic from my patients simply because it didn't align with my ethos…So when patients ask for it, I usually prescribe it.
In reality, there is no conflict between the makers of Ozempic and the makers of even the most energy-dense and liquid-polysaccharide-infused comfort foods. They are not being forced to target different and diverging market segment. This is because of the simple and sad reality that while not all fat people dislike their bodies and want to be thin, every single person who claims to be part of the “body positivity movement” does. Otherwise, there would be no “movement” and no need for public or other moral support. The people involved wouldn’t have a fight on their hands, and they’d simply adjust to being larger.
But the constant fight is with a desire to be thin. And now, many of these overweight people are being encouraged to put less energy into that fight and give a magical shot a try instead. A shot that continues, in theory, for life—just like we’ve observed decades of hapless weight fluctuations in the constitutionally heavy in countries where obesity is heavily punished. Ka-ching!
Virtually the entire American population would need to be Ozempic before food manufacturers started to suffer as a result, and that would be the case even if it worked well for everyone who took it and had an ideal safety profile. The media know that people will not stop eating the kinds of stuff that is easy to get, tastes good, and is relatively affordable in amounts that leave most Americans significantly overweight.
And “relatively affordable,” of course, is a notion in constant flux. Yesterday, Bloomberg published a darkly hilarious piece with a headline pushing the idea that Ozempic has in fact domestic hurt food sales.
Because this is Bloomberg, the author didn’t suggest that other factors might be leading people to spend less money on food. Such as, oh, people having less money, and whatever money they have having progressively less purchasing value as the U.S Federal Reserve continues slowly twisting its own dick around at the root, drawing ever closer to tearing the old member clear off its gangrenous moorings. No, we’re supposed to believe that Wal-Mart shoppers as a group have suddenly become intent on controlling their portion sizes and relying on Wall Street’s help.
Notice the signal being sent: Before long, people will be paying the same amount for, say, 8 mass units of Food X as they currently do for, say, 10 units of the same product. Not so food-makers can achieve ever higher profits, but because it’s what waistline-conscious middle- and lower-income consumers prefer!
It also bears mentioning that literally no one knows what will be happening in the bodies of people like Elon Musk five years from now, assuming any living bodies remain for medical analysis. By that time, the world will have a massive list of reasons to not feel sorry for the bastard in addition to those many people have already accrued.
This isn’t the first time I’ve ventured into this topic. It won’t be the last, because my hope is that even though nothing about the media, corporations, or the delivery of “healthcare” will change soon, people will recognize and consciously reject the unbridled insanity behind the messages they’re seeing, and that it will become faddish to decline both prescription medications and as many visits to the professionals who provide them as is practically possible.
