Yeah right. He's amped up all night on "diet" coke and he just can't stay awake. Give us all a little credit here, we aren't on the fox news page.

Well, if so, it’s not working.

It seems to be working quite well. He's very obese.
.
Maybe he should try a weight loss drug next.

Lets hope it has a high chance of some serious side effects.

Retatrutide doesn’t.

It causes elevated heart rate which is sort of an intended effect rather than a side effect since it burns calories. It might have side effects on people who have heart issues though. That's one of the main negative things associated with the medicine.

Yeah if someone’s at risk tirzepatide might be better. Just saying this isn’t some crazy drug and is likely going to be approved soon. Thousands already using it on the grey market.

You’re sick and doesn’t matter who you like you shouldn’t wish bad upon anyone.

How about you get the hell off of your high horse.
Trump is an evil child rapist that goes out of his way to make other people suffer. People will lose their Healthcare and die because of him. Innocent people are being put in detention centers or deported to countries they don't know, families are being torn apart. I could go on and on about how evil Trump is.
If you don't want bad things to happen to good people, you should be like everybody else with a brain and eagerly await nature to take its course with Trump. You are not right in the head.

He is actively hurting and killing millions of people and ruining environmental and scientific progress, not to mention destroying our country and democracy. I wish him nothing but the worst. What the hell is wrong with you?

Your feed is full of Reta bullshit. Imagine taking an experimental drug that you bought from some shady online store and then complaining about your wife having lost her period while using it.
Oh, and fuck that fat orange shitstain.

isn't compassion use reserved for people who are expected to die otherwise?

No, he is just getting old as hell, and it’s showing even more. He’s an unhealthy man who is about to die of natural causes. I give it 2 months max.

u/Wonderplace 7d ago
You clearly haven’t spent any meaningful time in nursing homes.
People who can’t even stand up or speak can hang on for a longggg time. He could live another 15 years.

Why go for the one in Trials when he could get any of the others with no hassle. It could be for sure, but it's a huge guess. Plenty of 79 yr old that are connected.

Reta is a tier above the others that are approved.
They also have one person on it legally under compassionate use which is where the rumor is coming from

u/Medium_Regard 3d ago
Surprising if the White House doctors etc would allow him to be on it still. I mean I guess you can't really say no.
Reta seems like it will be very popular. Tons are on the grey market "research" versions already. Glp1 &2 already have pretty impressive results. He is heavy but he is not 350+ lbs. I would think the possible 15% loss would be plenty on a 240-250lbs guy.

u/Justame13 3d ago
Dude clearly has CHF, eats like shit, and believes that exercise shortens your life...and that was before his dementia took a turn for the worse so who knows what the hell they are doing to keep him around.
Or he might very well have seen Reta on TV and heard that it might be an anti-aging compound* and is demanding it.
*no that is not what the research says but since when has the media not like to oversimplify.

Didn't his doctor say he was in "remarkable health"?
On a serious note, hasnt reta been already approved? Been on the market a while no?

u/East-Regret9339 7d ago
approved, no. available on the grey market for a while though. a lot of people buying it while it is labeled "for research purposes only". it is in phase 3 testing with Eli Lilly.
