What I find even more exciting are the reports of GLP-1 helping alcoholics stop drinking.

Every one less drunk on the roads is a huge win for society, there is no undoing the impact of a murder afterwards.

Now we just need to do something about the cost and accessibility of these drugs because it's a moral crime to not help people that are willing.

Didn't the government recently screw everyone in regards to affordability by declaring that there was no longer a shortage? And therefore compounding was not allowed, only the original drugs?

Yet I still see the compounded injections (which are 75% cheaper) advertised all over the place.

Does anyone know what's going on with this? Is the compounding banned and has it stopped, or not?

Has there been a substantive investigation into the officials involved to see if they have been bribed by the manufacturer?

Your observations are correct on all accounts from what I've been watching too.

The compounders are basically in a wild-west "try to make us stop" and won't quit until the FDA sends them strongly worded letters (if at all).

Personally I am rooting for the biohackers to come up with a way to make it "at home" safely because this constant concept of allowing patents for things already in nature is ridiculous.
