Dr Vicky Price became alarmed by the amount of young women of a healthy weight that she’s seen in A&E with complications as a result of taking the jab, which she says could be fatal in the wrong hands

women chatting around the school gates about who's had the jab? lost civilization. doh!

[@jujutrini8412]

What a good service this woman is doing. I would never have known that injecting myself with a drug that was not prescribed for me without even knowing what an appropriate dosage is for that drug could possibly make me ill! What a numpty! 🤦‍♀️

[@beyondlondon8600]

ikr! there is enough judgement and prejudice about these drugs and the issue here is her complete and total idiocy and not actually the treatment plan which acclimatises the user slowly WHEN prescribed.

[@simonlevett4776]

Well said.

[@23andrelopes]

Of course she was sick, it wasn't prescribed to her

[@veronicav1779]

you believe her? lol

[@AnneAlready]

How old is she?! That woman sounds like a kid explaining why they took something at a party.

[@natashafuller9832]

She’s already skinny and probably had a high dose rather than following the course.

[@mazzmo77]

she's already skinny

I’m pre type 2 diabetic caused by cancer and treatment. I was prescribed this drug to help my diabetes, but because of this misuse of this drug for weight loss I was not able to get it and as much as my gp and pharmacist tried. I’m now on an alternative tablet which is coursing annoying side effects that I did not have with the injection. I’m still not able to back to the injection as I can only get it intermittently. Yes, I agree this need better regulation.

[@cerambyx-8]

People often don't understand that nuance, for those with cancer and other health conditions. I have a rare form of vasculitis and was on high dose corticosteroids for decades. It caused weight gain and pre-diabetes. Eventually the vasculitis spread to my heart and I spent three months in hospital, they weaned me off the steroids and but on a new regime of immunosuppressives (sadly with horrid side effects, many of them are chemotherapy drugs like cyclophosphamide, rituximab and methotrexate) and then I lost a lot of weight very quickly and reversed my pre-diabetes. One of my medications I self inject and that required weeks of training from a rheumatology nurse, I can only use my abdomen a certain distance left or right of belly button or upper thighs. I hope you are doing well with regards to your cancer.

[@naisimar22]

Bless you Nigel, is there anyway we can help you or maybe have you tried pressing your GP/hospital harder?

[@Jade-jd8qq]

There’s no shortage currently. Private prescriptions have separate manufacturers.

[@colinmusgrave9351]

How many people took the mRNA covid jab without doing their own research,they must be crazy aswell.

[@lorir5728]

Not exactly. Its measured out by professionals. Plus people with complications talk to their doctor. Do you even know what the side effects have become of vivid vaccines complications?

[@janewright2800]

@colinmusgrave My thoughts entirely!!

[@jjo5375]

WOW! Why hasn't this been on American news shows! This is terribly serious stuff in the hands of non-medical hopefuls; misinformation, at best, is the only counseling to accompany it! JUST WHAT WE DON'T NEED!

[@louisemiller3784]

By the way, what a great friend that must have know a 1mg dose was too high, as I presume she started on the 0.25mg dose, with friends like her who needs enemies

[@agathacrystal_live]

@@louisemiller3784 the cost of a 4-dose pen is a bit over £200 so think again if anyone would want to carry it around in their bags (instead of keeping it in a fridge) and give free doses out to friends just for fun 😉

[@lynnbean7200]

Quite a bit of scaremongering here. For those of us who need it, ozempic has been a total blessing. My diabetes numbers have dropped to pre-diabetic level, my kidney function has improved markedly and I've lost 26kg. And no side effects.

[@claires7975]

Exactly. When used correctly it is amazing. Just very hard to access which is a shame.

[@misskiz786]

Where's the scare mongering? They literally said it's safe to be used when prescribed by a doctor....it's a warning to those who take it unregulated for weight loss alone.

[@liliacastellanos921]

Exactly.. because you need it , works great she didn't need it so bad side effect

[@ellendoherty7816]

I have been prescribed it for uncontrollable diabetes type 2. I was taking my metformin religiously, improved my diet, and exercise, took the adjunct treatment and nothing worked. I was prescribed ozempic and yes,I've had some awful side effects, which I still get occasionally. However, it's worked. My blood sugar levels have been the best they've been for years ,in range for the last 2 tests AND,my unederactive thyroid has improved so that I am now on less thyroxine and hopefully will be able reduce that further. I've lost 3 stone and weigh less now than I have for years. It has been amazing for me so the occasional side effects I can live with if this drug continues to help improve my many other health conditions which it appears to be doing.

Very ill with pancreatitis and was very honest but the link was dismissed - I’ve done a yellow card

[@sweatybetty82]

Yet doctors are prescribing it. Getting a jab of god knows what in a house is ridiculous, her own fault.

[@paradisekohchangstyle2150]

Ditch the complex carbs, eat less, exercise more. Lift weights - even if you are weak - just use super light weights. Muscle burns more calories in the long run.. Yeah, it really is that simplistic. Except that takes a LOT effort and commitment, which is clearly something 21st century Brits have no appetite for, if you'll pardon the pun.

[@sherimillman53]

Not a very good friend

[@yoanamiteva7082]

I don't believe how someone will have any of this injections with them when they need to be stored in fridge

[@agathacrystal_live]

I don’t believe how someone can point to their backside when telling about how a friend gave them a jab of something which is injected into the opposite side of the body

[@58mummybear]

simple only allow doctors to give it to people.

[@simonlevett4776]

Hmmm that's not guaranteed to be 100% successful, depends what's in the stuff that's being injected.

[@58mummybear]

@@simonlevett4776 the doctors have criteria on who can have it its tested so they no what they are giving patients at the moment anyone can get it say they are any weight and get it of the internet.

Kate must have been furious doing this interview! I don’t blame her either.

*_Jeez, such a great idea to inject a medication prescribed for someone else._* I mean, what could go wrong?

[@Qwerty09734]

Why feel bad about these people? They clearly put themselves in this situation ignoring the risks and wanted a shortcut instead of going the healthy route mesning a proper diet and exercise

How very perfect of you to say such an intolerant judgmental thing. Must be awesome being 'you!'

[@nvegas4552]

If this woman's friend had enough medication to share with friends, I wonder what her source was.

[@agathacrystal_live]

She didn’t take any jab by the look of it as when she said it was her friend who gave her the jab she made a gesture pointing to her backside. So she has very limited knowledge of what she’s talking about - leave alone having taken a jab. A made up story for the sake of the show in my opinion

[@TaintedGenre]

What has pointing to her backside got to do with it? Just curious 😊

[@agathacrystal_live]

@@TaintedGenre she said, “I closed my eyes and she gave me a jab” and pointed to where that woman allegedly gave her that jab - her bottom.And this jab is injected into the tummy area

[@claireh007]

Taking 1mg without slowly building up after the course of months under the guidance of a GP is complete idiocy. Of course she was going to become violently ill! Very brave of this lady to tell her story as a cautionary tale.

[@yoanamiteva7082]

That fake doctor hylarie should zip his mount and opinion he wasn't that passionate about the size effect from the covid vaccine. Every single 💊 have side effect paracetamol, ibuprofen, contraception. Even if you take too much vitamins have side effects

[@steve69uk1]

Ed, I've been watching you on yt for a long time. I have always found them to be interesting and informative. Hearing this news just makes me feel sick. I just hope that your prognosis is wrong. Best wishes, mate ❤

[@yellowroses1]

I don't believe her re: the dose. She knew she didn't meet the criteria to even be on it and she wanted to lose the maximum weight possible.

[@Starsnotdiamonds]

I think they should’ve gone easier on the guest. No need to admonish her even more. Show some compassion and empathy if she’s already realised how seriously she’s messed up.

[@beingsshepherd]

Either way, why be mean spirited? Especially as hosts.

[@nvegas4552]

Yes, I think the female host went way out of her way to belittle and shame the guest. Uncalled for. On the other hand, the male host asked some very relevant and thoughtful questions. I wish there'd been more time for the responses.

[@Mjbeswick]

Ozempic is actually a very safe drug. People that are suffering side effects are simply taking too much or overeating. Having said that it isn't really necessary even for type 2 diabetes, as it can be controlled by diet alone.

[@TaintedGenre]

My question is though for the first woman - how is she sure she just didn't have the Nora virus?
