Tragic to observe the typical Dallas Buyers Club dynamic at play. People are coordinating online and locally and doing border runs for the Mexico-available GLP-1 predecessors.

The Mounjaro patent appears to be until '39, with no generics available at the moment.

As one of the patients states in the article, obesity may very well lead them to diabetes. People will die. And with the shortage affecting current diabetics, they are dying now.

When the demand is enough, some overseas companies will start producing it without permission. Russia has announced that it will not honor patents from "unfriendly" countries, so they might as well start making these drugs in large amounts to make up for their declining gas revenues.

How scary! If only there was a reliable way for patients to prevent this disease :-(

Like taking the drug? If you're implying people should "just eat less", that's clearly not very reliable.

[pwinnski]

Not only unreliable, but ignorant. There is so much in hormone responses and often-undiagnosed conditions that makes "just eat less" absolutely irrelevant to many people.

I agree with your that's why you see many obese people in parts of the world with food shortages.
