This is not a rebranding of Rybelsus. Rybelsus is not very effective for weight loss, the new Wegovy pill is a much higher dose of semaglutide and was much more effective in clinical trials.

Long Covid is common. if you have it, you can lose your ability to workout. It is acutely unsafe & will further disable you. And this is not the only disease that causes PEM, but it’s certainly skyrocketing given the ongoing pandemic. And so many people w Long Covid used to work out all the time.

There are other medical syndromes that preclude people from working out. And then on top of it, there are people who have to with insane hours. We live in an unequal society. Shaming people for getting medication is Puritanical.

My mom and I both have long covid. My mom also had a double hip replacement before she was 60 and can barely walk. These weight loss pills are all that’s allowed her to go down to a healthy or near healthy weight when her body wouldn’t let her move.
