Glucagon-like peptide-1 agonism - GLP-1, common in obesity medicines - is not essential to weight management, according to preclinical research led by Richard DiMarchi and Matthias Tschöp, with funding from their startup company Bluewater Biosciences.
No one is screaming how it gives you “autism,” like they do for any vaccine, so I expect a lot of really fat MAGAt zombies any day now.
People will do anything for vanity. Botox is contains one of the most potent toxins known on earth, and people will happily inject it directly into their face just for the chance of a slightly smoother face.
And fentanyl can kill an entire city, but hospitals still keep it around for pain control. Diphenhydramine will make you hallucinate spiders everywhere, while you slowly die. But you can buy it over-the-counter to treat allergy symptoms. The foxglove flower can cause you to go into heart failure… But we use it to treat heart conditions.

*This is not the article I originally read as that was easily ten years prior but search engines and enshitified and have decided this is the closest they will give me.
There’s only one snake on the medicine symbol. The two snake version is the one that represents Hermes. Everything else you said is correct though
Yes but these same people are often scrutinizing vaccine ingredient lists.
The trick to staying young is to never move your face muscles, and use lotion. Can’t get wrinkles if you don’t wrinkle your skin 🧠
