And by the way, I do believe that President Trump has the ability to pick some really, really good people.

And President Trump hasn't been the one that weaponized the DOJ to go after his political enemies.

But they are nowhere to be seen, essentially kept under lockdown to protect them from the swine fever virus.

London CNN —Weight loss drugs such as Wegovy and Ozempic have been hailed worldwide as revolutionary for medicine. Additional measures to prevent obesity in the first place are desperately needed, health experts say. Part of that new thinking is exploring weight loss drugs.
