The party

The recent party was supposed to advertise this:

The Russian government authorized production of an analogue of the weight-loss drug Ozempic without the patent holder’s consent.

You might have missed it, but the biggest company in Europe now is not LVMH, BMW, or Shell — it’s the Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk. Weight-loss drugs helped it conquer the world.

The therapy lasts a lifetime. According to the company’s own statements, patients who stop taking the drug may return to their original weight within five years.

Interesting approach. Lifelong therapy. Because you can’t stop eating. You don’t control anything yourself, so they’ll have to treat you for food too.

The company became the largest in Europe on a single drug. We start manufacturing it ourselves, sharing with no one. Next step — add it to the list of essential and vital medications that must be in every pharmacy. Profit.
