How do weight loss drugs work and are they safe? At last year's British Science Festival in Liverpool, @gilesyeo.bsky.social gave a fascinating talk (and demonstration!) about their mechanisms and therapeutic role for obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHDk...

Part of an email I received from my GP practice, which serves more than 10,000 people. Based on current criteria, only 8 (!!!) people qualify for these GLP1s from the NHS 👀. With >90% accessing these drugs privately, this is driving health inequalities.

There are good & bad people in the world. Most people, of all colours, creed, religion & immigrant status, are good. There are, sadly, bad people, who are also of all colours, creed, religion & immigrant status. Both are independent variables. Equating one with the other only encourages hate.

In the village rag, someone complained about disabled parking taken up by some of the local weight-loss support group, and made an unkind quip about obesity. This ‘letter to the editor’ was just published! Who knew there are actually people listening to me! #obesityisnotachoice #endweightstigma
