Wes Streeting’s slimming drug is already causing a hospital ‘surge’, according to Skwawkbox.
It isn’t really a slimming drug, of course. The chemical going under the name Mounjaro is actually a treatment for diabetes.
And it has been implicated in the death of a nurse.
Streeting wants to roll it out across the UK in a bid to get obese people into work, after a trial scheme in Greater Manchester.

Now:
Even before Streeting begins to roll out his plan, the use of Tirzepatide and other slimming drugs has already led to hundreds of people being hospitalised because of side effects – four times higher number than the UK regulator has admitted so far. The total number of ‘adverse reactions’ is just under fifteen thousand – more than double the number admitted only a month ago.
Advocates of the drug say the figures are driven by online sales and unsupervised use – but the numbers are a chilling reminder of what the consequences could be if the drug is rolled out to millions, particularly coercively as in the case of unemployed people facing benefit sanctions, or patients facing denial of treatment.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has refused to list all the reasons for hospital admissions or adverse reactions, but the drug’s known side effects include pancreatitis, which is potentially fatal, and Tirzepatide has been observed to cause cancers in animal studies.
This Writer has already stated my belief that no drug should be pressed on the public if it is known to have potentially fatal effects.
Given this new information, what do you think?
