RFK Jr.: 'Congress Pushing Ozempic for Kids While Ignoring Diet and Exercise—A $3 Trillion Scam'

RFK Jr: "Today, over 100 members of Congress support a bill to fund Ozempic with Medicare... Most of these members have taken money from the manufacturer of that product, a European company called Novo Nordisk."

"There is a push to recommend Ozempic for Americans as young as six over a condition—obesity—that is completely preventable, and barely even existed 100 years ago."

"Since 74% of Americans are obese, the cost of all of them—if they take their Ozempic prescriptions—will be $3 trillion a year."

"This is a drug that has made Novo Nordisk the biggest company in Europe. It's a Danish company, but the Danish government does not recommend it. It recommends a change in diet to treat obesity, and exercise."

"For half the price of Ozempic, we could purchase... organic food for every American—three meals a day—and a gym membership for every obese American."

"For 19 years, solving the childhood chronic disease crisis has been the central goal of my life. And for 19 years, I have prayed to God every morning to put me in a position to end this calamity."

"I believe we have the opportunity... to transform American health... and, I believe, to save our spirits and our country."
