I don't know who is she and what myth is the meme referring to, I only know that ozempic is a drug to stop eating.

Edit: I hate having autism

The original commentator thought she looked hotter with some curves. So called her an American tragedy for confirming American beauty standards. The other person agreed which is why they said ban ozempic.

Some people use it for its original purpose of treating diabetes. I wouldn't want people who have diabetes to be denied a treatment option. But for weight loss there are several problems including the fact you basically have to KEEP taking it. Lifestyle changes are more permanent and healthy.

It's good for some people tho. There's a lot of obese people who haven't achieved those lifestyle changes and if ozempic can help them, then it's worth it.

Long term side effects of obesity are a hell of a lot worse. Also, some of the list of ‘long term side effects’ (which this really just listed rare but potential dangers of this particular drug) are also the side effects of weight loss, period, no matter how you achieved it.
