Tucker Interviews Calley Means on the medical crisis in America
There is nothing directly about politics or White identity and interests here, but important nonetheless. Tucker interviews Calley Means about the corruption in the pharmaceutical industry, the FDA, the media, and medical schools. Far more than any other country, we are mass producing zombie consumers of drugs, and pretty much no one in authority is talking about diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management as the ways to avoid metabolic dysfunction: “Don’t change your lifestyle. Take some pills.” And I suspect that people plugged into big pharma and in poor health as a result of their lifestyle are not going to be much use in the struggles that lie ahead.

Imagine people would roll a modest joint and walk every evening an hour, relax and smoke.
Not perfect, but pretty close.
The high cost of these drugs for weight loss ($1349/month) is getting pushback from health insurers. People taking the drug have to continue for life, and if they stop, they gain the weight back.

And there seems to be some awareness that lifestyle is important:
“Some plans require patients to enroll in an educational or coaching program about nutrition and exercise for six months before the drug can be covered by insurance.” But no evidence is cited indicating these work. Most people taking the drugs seem to think they can continue their lifestyle.

It seems to me, Kevin, that the most important word in the opening sentence of your introduction, quoted above, is “directly.” This claim is borne out, I think, by the introduction’s last sentence:
This is an informative interview. I am glad Tucker Carlson is still in business. I have bookmarked Calley Means’ web-site, for future study. I might learn something useful.
I did not know that the drug industry was so corrupt. According to Means, the obesity drug, Ozempic, is not a cure. It’s a life-time treatment. Therefore, it’s useless. As soon as you stop taking it, you put all the weight back on. (And probably more too, I suspect.) And it makes you depressed and suicidal. Avoid at all costs. It’s better to be over-weight.
Less unhealthy food and more physical exercise is a better solution. Even if you fail to lose much weight, you’ll be happier and healthier. Avoid drugs – the side-effects can be worse than the disease.
My apologies for messing up the formatting in the yet-to-be-approved comment above by failing to close the second brief blockquote properly.
