Presumably they're looking at comparable shoppers before and after one starts Ozempic during the same time period. Or are you implying people are starting Ozempic to avoid buying food?

How is Walmart obtaining data on when individual people start taking Ozempic? That seems like quite a HIPAA violation.

I’d suspect it has something to do with signing up for an Ozempic discount card (which many people did / still do). Pretty sure they’re allowed to sell that data (their privacy policy seems to allow as much).

I read a recent article that said it cost $1,000/mo. So doubtful this would be a good strategy to save money.
