It is not hard to find systems-wide bias against people living with #obesity They are judged unfairly, and held to a different standard relative to many other people with non-communicable diseases. This bias causes further harm to their health and is widespread, even among HCPs

A really important paper. We need to do better at providing access to semaglutide - a life saving drug for patients with obesity and CVD - drug companies need to reduce their prices, health care systems need to fund this treatment. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
