In the days following the Oct. 7 offensive, she happened upon a video that went viral showing what appeared to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/10/07/gaza-hostages-jeep-woman-amanpour-israel-vpx.cnn\">Hamas fighters pulling a woman with blood seeping through her sweatpants out of a truck\u003c/a>.

As the days passed, it became harder and harder to focus on running her communications business in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when I started to have night terrors,” Howard said. “I was ending my days going into my closet. I would just cry and turn off the lights. Close the door. It just felt like what I had to do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These symptoms reflect \u003ca href=\"https://compassionbehavioralhealth.com/blog/signs-and-symptoms-of-secondary-trauma/\">secondary trauma\u003c/a>, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.yusracoachinganddevelopment.com/meet-sara\">Sara Ghalaini\u003c/a>, a licensed psychotherapist in Berkeley.

Some people may find relief praying at a mosque, temple or church. Others may feel better after hitting the gym. Ghalaini said we are experiencing a “collective grief” and advised people to be gentle on themselves as there is no quick fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bharoocha said she feels less helpless when she is protesting. She volunteers for groups that have organized numerous rallies, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.org/2023/10/25/students-walk-out-class-demanding-uc-berkeley-support-palestine\">mass student walkout on Oct. 25\u003c/a>. “For me, those are spaces to grieve and process,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"mental-health, war\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]Howard found relief in listening to sermons or Hebrew songs online.

But Howard’s major lifeline is talking to her psychotherapist, who recommended taking a break from social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard said that has been “really, really significant” for her mental health. She also suggests people find somewhere safe to talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A place that you can go, that you can let down your guard, that you can speak your truth, and even do the work of accessing deeper truths,” said Robyn Bloom, the director of adult services for Jewish Family and Children’s Services in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many organizations in the Bay Area, like the \u003ca href=\"https://khalilcenter.com/\">Khalil Center\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.jfcs.org/about/resources-during-israel-hamas-war/\">Jewish Family and Children Services\u003c/a> offer mental health support.

Footage from war has never been palatable. But today, social media provides instantaneous images from the battleground; horrific and violent videos — both real and fake. Every day, social media platforms are rivers of atrocities, which can leave people emotionally triggered, overwhelmed and unstable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shoshanna Howard learned about the initial attacks by Hamas on Israel when she was scrolling through social media. In the days following the Oct. 7 offensive, she happened upon a video that went viral showing what appeared to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2023/10/07/gaza-hostages-jeep-woman-amanpour-israel-vpx.cnn\">Hamas fighters pulling a woman with blood seeping through her sweatpants out of a truck\u003c/a>.

As the days passed, it became harder and harder to focus on running her communications business in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s when I started to have night terrors,” Howard said. “I was ending my days going into my closet. I would just cry and turn off the lights. Close the door.

She said an individual may experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder if they are exposed to people who have been traumatized or hear descriptions of traumatic events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re surrounded by it or witnessing it, you yourself are also part of that, even if you don’t realize you are,” Ghalaini said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recommended people who are suffering surround themselves with community. Some people may find relief praying at a mosque, temple or church. Others may feel better after hitting the gym. Ghalaini said we are experiencing a “collective grief” and advised people to be gentle on themselves as there is no quick fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bharoocha said she feels less helpless when she is protesting. She volunteers for groups that have organized numerous rallies, including a \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeleyside.org/2023/10/25/students-walk-out-class-demanding-uc-berkeley-support-palestine\">mass student walkout on Oct. 25\u003c/a>. “For me, those are spaces to grieve and process,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"tag":"mental-health, war","label":"More Related Stories "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Howard found relief in listening to sermons or Hebrew songs online. She said she has \u003ca href=\"https://www.songtell.com/karolina-israel/af-echad-lo-ba-li\">Karolina’s “Af Echad Lo Ba li”\u003c/a> on repeat. But Howard’s major lifeline is talking to her psychotherapist, who recommended taking a break from social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Howard said that has been “really, really significant” for her mental health. She also suggests people find somewhere safe to talk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A place that you can go, that you can let down your guard, that you can speak your truth, and even do the work of accessing deeper truths,” said Robyn Bloom, the director of adult services for Jewish Family and Children’s Services in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many organizations in the Bay Area, like the \u003ca href=\"https://khalilcenter.com/\">Khalil Center\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"https://www.jfcs.org/about/resources-during-israel-hamas-war/\">Jewish Family and Children Services\u003c/a> offer mental health support.

But their tools for curbing the ads that go too far are limited — especially when it comes to social media. Regulatory systems are most interested in pharma’s claims, not necessarily those of doctors or their enthused patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Few drugs of this type are approved by the FDA for weight loss — they include Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy. But after shortages made that treatment harder to get, patients turned to other pharmaceuticals — like Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic and Eli Lilly’s Mounjaro — which are approved only for Type 2 diabetes. Those are often used off-label — though you wouldn’t hear that from many of their online boosters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The drugs have shown promising \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9063254/\">clinical results\u003c/a>, Jaisinghani and her peers emphasize. Patients can lose as much as \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2032183\">15% of their body weight\u003c/a>. Novo Nordisk is \u003ca href=\"https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03574597\">sponsoring research\u003c/a> to examine whether Wegovy causes reductions in the rate of heart attacks for patients with obesity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The medications, though, come at a high price. Wegovy runs patients paying cash at least $1,305 a month in the Washington, D.C., area, according to a GoodRx search in late March. Insurers only sometimes cover the cost. And patients typically regain much of their lost weight after they stop taking it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Hype is driving demand\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But patients are not necessarily coming to doctors’ offices now because of the science. They are citing things they saw on TikTok, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@pagesix/video/7192648715704782123\">Chelsea Handler\u003c/a> and other celebrities talking about their injections. It leads to the questions “how come she can get it” and “why can I not,” said \u003ca href=\"https://healthcare.utah.edu/find-a-doctor/juliana-s-simonetti\">Juliana Simonetti\u003c/a>, a physician and co-director of the comprehensive weight management program at the University of Utah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The excitement — which doctors worry may cause some patients to use medications inappropriately — is coming also from business interests. Some are doctors promoting their venture-capital-backed start-ups. Others are spas hawking everything from wrinkle smoothing and lip plumping to, yes, weight loss benefits of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic; their prices, often in the hundreds of dollars, are well below what consumers would pay if picking up the prescription at a pharmacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., the FDA has oversight over ads from the pharmaceutical industry, which must acknowledge risks and side effects of drugs. But ads from people who write prescriptions don’t necessarily have the same restrictions. FDA regulations apply if the prescriber is working on behalf of a regulated entity, like a pharmaceutical manufacturer or distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The FDA is also committed to working with external partners, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to address concerns with prescription drug marketing practices of telehealth companies on various platforms, including social media,” agency spokesperson Jeremy Kahn emailed KFF Health News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pharma firms run campaigns to educate health care professionals or raise “awareness” that may indirectly tout drugs. Novo Nordisk has an \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsbiggerthan/?hl=en\">ongoing internet campaign\u003c/a> to redefine and destigmatize how Americans think of obesity — and, left unmentioned, the drugs that treat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KFF Health News also found that, beyond the industry group’s examination, at least two \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pharmacymentor/photos/a.386940171690317/1671930236524631/?type=3\">other entities\u003c/a> were promoting Novo Nordisk products in the United Kingdom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tga.gov.au/\">Australian regulators\u003c/a> have taken down nearly 1,900 ads as of early March for improperly plugging various GLP-1 agonists, an agency spokesperson told KFF Health News. Novo Nordisk says it didn’t put up the ads, the majority of which were for their product Ozempic. The regulators are declining to say who’s involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors are also sounding alarms about the publicity. They believe patients will be driven to use these medications off-label, obtain unreliable forms of these drugs, or exacerbate other health conditions, like eating disorders. The drugs act in part as an appetite suppressant, which can dramatically reduce calorie intake to a concerning degree when not paired with nutritional guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pathlightbh.com/clinical-leadership/elizabeth-wassenaar\">Elizabeth Wassenaar\u003c/a>, a regional medical director for the Eating Recovery Center, believes the drugs and associated advertising buildup will inadvertently trigger eating disorders. KFF Health News found ads showing thin patients measuring themselves with a tape measure and stepping on the scale, with accompanying captions goading viewers into going on GLP-1s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re being marketed very, very pointedly to groups that are vulnerable to experiencing body image dissatisfaction,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remi Bader, a curve model and TikTok creator specializing in documenting her “realistic” clothing buys, \u003ca href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/202-ozempic-boyfriend-reveal-w-remi-bader/id1444559244?i=1000593401739\">told one podcast\u003c/a> her story of coming off a “few months” on Ozempic. She said she gained twice the weight back and that her binge eating disorder got “so much worse.” One study, published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, found \u003ca href=\"https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dom.14725\">two-thirds of lost weight came back\u003c/a> after discontinuation of semaglutide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But social media users and influencers — whether with white coats or as ordinary patients — are hopping on every platform to spread news of positive weight loss outcomes. There are those, for instance, who had gastric bypass surgery that didn’t work and are now turning to TikTok for guidance, support and hope as they begin taking a GLP-1. There’s even a poop-centric Facebook group in which people discuss the sometimes fraught topic of the drugs’ effect on their bowel movements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Commercialism and compounding spark excitement and concern\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some have been so delighted by their medication-assisted weight loss they have become brand ambassadors. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaislosingit?_t=8b6ouV4H3U6&_r=1\">Samantha Klecyngier\u003c/a> has dropped at least 58 pounds since she started on Mounjaro. She heard of the drug and her telemedicine weight loss program, \u003ca href=\"https://www.joinsequence.com/\">Sequence\u003c/a>, on TikTok. She and many others who have experienced considerable weight loss since starting the medication regimen point to its positive impact and their improved quality of life. Now she officially promotes the company on the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Klecyngier, a mother of two from the Chicago area, is not diabetic, she uses Mounjaro. When she was growing up, her parents had Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases that led them both to have open-heart surgery. Her father lost his life to complications of diabetes. She wants to avoid that fate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Klecyngier’s story — combining a personal journey with a profit-making entity — is symbolic of another trend on social media: commercialism. There’s a spate of start-ups eyeing big money matching pharmaceuticals and related support with patients. (Sequence, the company Klecyngier pitches, \u003ca href=\"https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/03/06/2621551/0/en/WeightWatchers-to-Acquire-Sequence-a-Digital-Health-Platform-for-Clinical-Weight-Management.html\">just got acquired by WW\u003c/a>, also known as WeightWatchers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some doctors use social media to educate viewers about the drugs. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelalbertmd?lang=en\">Michael Albert\u003c/a>, chief medical officer of telehealth practice \u003ca href=\"https://www.accomplish.health/about\">Accomplish Health\u003c/a>, says offering information to his more than 250,000 followers has helped point patients to the medical practice. It’s received thousands of patient inquiries, more than the clinic can take on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like Accomplish — start-ups with well-credentialed doctors — are the glossy side of this social media boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are others — like many spas and weight-loss centers — that offer the drugs, sometimes without much medical support, often alongside Botox and dermal fillers. Obesity doctors worry such marketing is creating unrealistic expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some spas and telemedicine operators claim to have “compounded” semaglutide. But compounding — when pharmacies, rather than drug manufacturers, prepare a drug — is a risky proposition, doctors caution. “The risks are enormous,” Simonetti said, warning of potential contamination from poor compounding practices. “The risks of getting bacteria,” she warned, “the risks include death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weight-loss clinics also frequently tout unconventional additions to semaglutide, including vitamin B12 and amino acids. Some patients incorrectly believe the former helps with nausea, Jaisinghani said; other clinics tout greater weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Novo Nordisk spokesperson Allison Schneider told KFF Health News in an email that the company shares doctors’ concerns about compounding and that it’s begun sending letters warning “certain Health Care Providers” about the related risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some operations defend their use of often-cheaper compounded drugs. LH Spa and Rejuvenation, founded by Zuena, offers a compounded semaglutide formulation from \u003ca href=\"https://qrxweightloss.com/\">QRx Weight Loss\u003c/a> for $500 over four weeks. The spa learned about the regimen from a doctor. “I’m purchasing it,” Zuena said. “It comes next-day air in legitimate vials with lot numbers, expirations.” Patients’ injections and dosages are overseen by on-site medical staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most operators in this burgeoning industry are keen to emphasize their products’ high quality or their company’s good works, as they seek money. Ro, a telehealth firm offering GLP-1s, said its marketing campaign in the New York City subway “aims to start an important, sometimes difficult, conversation focused on de-stigmatizing obesity as a condition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This widespread tactic is nothing short of maddening for pharma industry critics. “They talk about trying to destigmatize obesity at the same time they’re talking about losing weight. They’re co-opting the concept,” said Judy Butler, a research fellow at \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/georgetown.edu/pharmedout/home?authuser=0\">PharmedOut\u003c/a>, a Georgetown University Medical Center project focusing on evidence-based practices for drugs. “They’re trying to sell a weight-loss drug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, an editorially independent program of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/\">Kaiser Family Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Online platforms are overflowing with testimonials for GLP-1s.

And patients typically regain much of their lost weight after they stop taking it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Hype is driving demand\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But patients are not necessarily coming to doctors’ offices now because of the science. They are citing things they saw on TikTok, like \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@pagesix/video/7192648715704782123\">Chelsea Handler\u003c/a> and other celebrities talking about their injections. It leads to the questions “how come she can get it” and “why can I not,” said \u003ca href=\"https://healthcare.utah.edu/find-a-doctor/juliana-s-simonetti\">Juliana Simonetti\u003c/a>, a physician and co-director of the comprehensive weight management program at the University of Utah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The excitement — which doctors worry may cause some patients to use medications inappropriately — is coming also from business interests. Some are doctors promoting their venture-capital-backed start-ups. Others are spas hawking everything from wrinkle smoothing and lip plumping to, yes, weight loss benefits of semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy and Ozempic; their prices, often in the hundreds of dollars, are well below what consumers would pay if picking up the prescription at a pharmacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., the FDA has oversight over ads from the pharmaceutical industry, which must acknowledge risks and side effects of drugs. But ads from people who write prescriptions don’t necessarily have the same restrictions. FDA regulations apply if the prescriber is working on behalf of a regulated entity, like a pharmaceutical manufacturer or distributor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The FDA is also committed to working with external partners, including the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), to address concerns with prescription drug marketing practices of telehealth companies on various platforms, including social media,” agency spokesperson Jeremy Kahn emailed KFF Health News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pharma firms run campaigns to educate health care professionals or raise “awareness” that may indirectly tout drugs. Novo Nordisk has an \u003ca href=\"https://www.instagram.com/itsbiggerthan/?hl=en\">ongoing internet campaign\u003c/a> to redefine and destigmatize how Americans think of obesity — and, left unmentioned, the drugs that treat it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KFF Health News also found that, beyond the industry group’s examination, at least two \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/pharmacymentor/photos/a.386940171690317/1671930236524631/?type=3\">other entities\u003c/a> were promoting Novo Nordisk products in the United Kingdom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.tga.gov.au/\">Australian regulators\u003c/a> have taken down nearly 1,900 ads as of early March for improperly plugging various GLP-1 agonists, an agency spokesperson told KFF Health News. Novo Nordisk says it didn’t put up the ads, the majority of which were for their product Ozempic. The regulators are declining to say who’s involved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Doctors are also sounding alarms about the publicity. They believe patients will be driven to use these medications off-label, obtain unreliable forms of these drugs, or exacerbate other health conditions, like eating disorders. The drugs act in part as an appetite suppressant, which can dramatically reduce calorie intake to a concerning degree when not paired with nutritional guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pathlightbh.com/clinical-leadership/elizabeth-wassenaar\">Elizabeth Wassenaar\u003c/a>, a regional medical director for the Eating Recovery Center, believes the drugs and associated advertising buildup will inadvertently trigger eating disorders. KFF Health News found ads showing thin patients measuring themselves with a tape measure and stepping on the scale, with accompanying captions goading viewers into going on GLP-1s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re being marketed very, very pointedly to groups that are vulnerable to experiencing body image dissatisfaction,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Remi Bader, a curve model and TikTok creator specializing in documenting her “realistic” clothing buys, \u003ca href=\"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/202-ozempic-boyfriend-reveal-w-remi-bader/id1444559244?i=1000593401739\">told one podcast\u003c/a> her story of coming off a “few months” on Ozempic. She said she gained twice the weight back and that her binge eating disorder got “so much worse.” One study, published in the journal Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, found \u003ca href=\"https://dom-pubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/dom.14725\">two-thirds of lost weight came back\u003c/a> after discontinuation of semaglutide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But social media users and influencers — whether with white coats or as ordinary patients — are hopping on every platform to spread news of positive weight loss outcomes. There are those, for instance, who had gastric bypass surgery that didn’t work and are now turning to TikTok for guidance, support and hope as they begin taking a GLP-1. There’s even a poop-centric Facebook group in which people discuss the sometimes fraught topic of the drugs’ effect on their bowel movements.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Commercialism and compounding spark excitement and concern\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some have been so delighted by their medication-assisted weight loss they have become brand ambassadors. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@samanthaislosingit?_t=8b6ouV4H3U6&_r=1\">Samantha Klecyngier\u003c/a> has dropped at least 58 pounds since she started on Mounjaro. She heard of the drug and her telemedicine weight loss program, \u003ca href=\"https://www.joinsequence.com/\">Sequence\u003c/a>, on TikTok. She and many others who have experienced considerable weight loss since starting the medication regimen point to its positive impact and their improved quality of life. Now she officially promotes the company on the app.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Klecyngier, a mother of two from the Chicago area, is not diabetic, she uses Mounjaro. When she was growing up, her parents had Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases that led them both to have open-heart surgery. Her father lost his life to complications of diabetes. She wants to avoid that fate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Klecyngier’s story — combining a personal journey with a profit-making entity — is symbolic of another trend on social media: commercialism. There’s a spate of start-ups eyeing big money matching pharmaceuticals and related support with patients. (Sequence, the company Klecyngier pitches, \u003ca href=\"https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/03/06/2621551/0/en/WeightWatchers-to-Acquire-Sequence-a-Digital-Health-Platform-for-Clinical-Weight-Management.html\">just got acquired by WW\u003c/a>, also known as WeightWatchers.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some doctors use social media to educate viewers about the drugs. \u003ca href=\"https://www.tiktok.com/@michaelalbertmd?lang=en\">Michael Albert\u003c/a>, chief medical officer of telehealth practice \u003ca href=\"https://www.accomplish.health/about\">Accomplish Health\u003c/a>, says offering information to his more than 250,000 followers has helped point patients to the medical practice. It’s received thousands of patient inquiries, more than the clinic can take on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like Accomplish — start-ups with well-credentialed doctors — are the glossy side of this social media boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there are others — like many spas and weight-loss centers — that offer the drugs, sometimes without much medical support, often alongside Botox and dermal fillers. Obesity doctors worry such marketing is creating unrealistic expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some spas and telemedicine operators claim to have “compounded” semaglutide. But compounding — when pharmacies, rather than drug manufacturers, prepare a drug — is a risky proposition, doctors caution. “The risks are enormous,” Simonetti said, warning of potential contamination from poor compounding practices. “The risks of getting bacteria,” she warned, “the risks include death.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weight-loss clinics also frequently tout unconventional additions to semaglutide, including vitamin B12 and amino acids. Some patients incorrectly believe the former helps with nausea, Jaisinghani said; other clinics tout greater weight loss.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Novo Nordisk spokesperson Allison Schneider told KFF Health News in an email that the company shares doctors’ concerns about compounding and that it’s begun sending letters warning “certain Health Care Providers” about the related risks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some operations defend their use of often-cheaper compounded drugs. LH Spa and Rejuvenation, founded by Zuena, offers a compounded semaglutide formulation from \u003ca href=\"https://qrxweightloss.com/\">QRx Weight Loss\u003c/a> for $500 over four weeks. The spa learned about the regimen from a doctor. “I’m purchasing it,” Zuena said. “It comes next-day air in legitimate vials with lot numbers, expirations.” Patients’ injections and dosages are overseen by on-site medical staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most operators in this burgeoning industry are keen to emphasize their products’ high quality or their company’s good works, as they seek money. Ro, a telehealth firm offering GLP-1s, said its marketing campaign in the New York City subway “aims to start an important, sometimes difficult, conversation focused on de-stigmatizing obesity as a condition.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This widespread tactic is nothing short of maddening for pharma industry critics. “They talk about trying to destigmatize obesity at the same time they’re talking about losing weight. They’re co-opting the concept,” said Judy Butler, a research fellow at \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/georgetown.edu/pharmedout/home?authuser=0\">PharmedOut\u003c/a>, a Georgetown University Medical Center project focusing on evidence-based practices for drugs. “They’re trying to sell a weight-loss drug.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by \u003ca href=\"http://khn.org/\">Kaiser Health News\u003c/a>, an editorially independent program of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kff.org/\">Kaiser Family Foundation\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/science/1982342/social-media-is-boosting-a-billion-dollar-market-for-weight-loss-drugs","authors":["byline_science_1982342"],"categories":["science_39","science_40","science_4450"],"tags":["science_3541","science_1050","science_5181","science_2918","science_697"],"featImg":"science_1982346","label":"source_science_1982342"},"science_1930212":{"type":"posts","id":"science_1930212","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"science","id":"1930212","score":null,"sort":[1535043657000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"can-tech-giants-work-together-against-their-common-enemies","title":"Can Tech Giants Put Squabbles Aside And Band Together Against Security Threats?","publishDate":1535043657,"format":"standard","headTitle":"Can Tech Giants Put Squabbles Aside And Band Together Against Security Threats? | KQED","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Facebook, Twitter and Google routinely squabble for users, engineers and advertising money.

(It was in 2015.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a co-founder of factcheck.org, had problems with the way the study looked at true and false stories. The MIT team characterized a story’s truth on a 1-to-5 scale, with 1 being completely false. Factcheck.org, Jamieson said, looks more at context and does not label something either true or false.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also suggested that calling this bogus information “false stories” does not capture how malignant it is.

His ongoing, not-yet-published research has found that about 80 percent of false stories come from just one-tenth of 1 percent of users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers dug deeper to find out what kind of false information travels faster and farther. False political stories — researchers didn’t separate conservative versus liberal — and stuff that was surprising or anger-provoking spread faster than other types of lies, Aral said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Falsehood was significantly more novel than the truth,” Aral said. “It’s easy to be novel when you make things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fits perfectly with previous research on the psychology of fake information, said Yale University’s Dan Kahan and Dartmouth College’s Brendan Nyhan, scientists who study the phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more strange and more sensational the story sounds, the more likely they are going to retweet,” Kahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nyhan and Lazer said that while more fact-checking and education of people on how to tell fake from real can be helpful, the more effective solution will have to come from the social media platforms themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said the study results reminded him of the often-cited quotation that essentially says a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots — or pants — on. It’s been attributed to Mark Twain and Winston Churchill. But that would be misinformation.

(It was in 2015.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University of Pennsylvania communications professor Kathleen Hall Jamieson, a co-founder of factcheck.org, had problems with the way the study looked at true and false stories. The MIT team characterized a story’s truth on a 1-to-5 scale, with 1 being completely false. Factcheck.org, Jamieson said, looks more at context and does not label something either true or false.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also suggested that calling this bogus information “false stories” does not capture how malignant it is. She said it would “better be called viral deception. VD. And treated as analogous to venereal disease.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bots & Cyborgs\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThe researchers looked at obvious bots — automated accounts — and took them out. While the bots tweeted false information at a higher rate than humans, it wasn’t that much of a difference, and even without bots, lies still spread faster and farther, Roy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>David Lazer, a political and computer scientist at Northeastern University who wasn’t part of the study but wrote an accompanying report, praised the MIT research but said the scientists may have missed a lot of bots and cyborgs — sort of in-between humans. His ongoing, not-yet-published research has found that about 80 percent of false stories come from just one-tenth of 1 percent of users.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers dug deeper to find out what kind of false information travels faster and farther. False political stories — researchers didn’t separate conservative versus liberal — and stuff that was surprising or anger-provoking spread faster than other types of lies, Aral said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Falsehood was significantly more novel than the truth,” Aral said. “It’s easy to be novel when you make things up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That fits perfectly with previous research on the psychology of fake information, said Yale University’s Dan Kahan and Dartmouth College’s Brendan Nyhan, scientists who study the phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The more strange and more sensational the story sounds, the more likely they are going to retweet,” Kahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nyhan and Lazer said that while more fact-checking and education of people on how to tell fake from real can be helpful, the more effective solution will have to come from the social media platforms themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Roy said the study results reminded him of the often-cited quotation that essentially says a lie can travel halfway around the world before the truth can get its boots — or pants — on. It’s been attributed to Mark Twain and Winston Churchill. But that would be misinformation.

(Image: Activision)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Remember the Activision game \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXMYw1lXY0\">Pitfall!\u003c/a>, back in the ‘80s? Your guy ran through a blocky two-dimensional jungle, swinging on a vine of pixels over alligator-infested bogs. Was he running toward or away from something? You didn’t care. Sometimes the chasms disappeared and reappeared beneath your feet. If you fell into quicksand or landed on a rattlesnake, you died. No big deal. It was just a game, lived in the moment. You were evading or finding peril as it scrolled across the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward 20 years, to when we first heard it was possible for people to sequence their genomes. I was intrigued. This was around the time that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.genome.gov/10001772\">Human Genome Project\u003c/a> was nearing completion. Soon, I imagined, we all might be offered a chance to run through life with a new ability to sense what dangers lay ahead, lurking in our genes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with its six-digit price point, genetic testing was a high-end game out of reach for most of us. In some ways, this is still the case. \u003cem>Whole genome\u003c/em> sequencing, which spells out all six billion letters of a person’s DNA, is still prohibitively expensive and has to be ordered by a doctor. But now it is possible to order a genetic scan of nearly a million key spots on one’s DNA for only $99 from \u003ca href=\"http://www.23andme.com/\">23andMe\u003c/a>, a Mountain View company co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, a biotech investor on the Google family tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, personalized genomics was a game I could afford. The $99 is one tenth of what the test originally cost when the company began offering it in 2007. Curiosity lured me in: I wanted to learn more about my heredity and my health. But I didn’t expect to find a whole new breed of social network, an online community structured not around shared interests, physical proximity, or social relationships, but around bits of shared DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I wanted to learn more about my heredity and my health. But I didn’t expect to find a whole new breed of social network.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Grabbing the rope was simple. I visited the company’s website, clicked on the huge green invitation to “Get to Know You,” paid up and became a member. A few days later, the smartly-packaged kit was waiting when I returned home from work. Inside were a tiny plastic vial and a smaller box to return the sealed saliva sample.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spat. As I held the sample, I felt oddly protective. Then I felt a flutter of anxiety. Should I be sending these defenseless drops of myself into the clutches of faceless white coats? I have often worked as a freelancer or in other nontraditional modes, and, like so many of my fellow Americans, am used to taking a DIY approach to health care to the degree that I can. But still I worried, could my results be used to deny me health coverage, or otherwise discriminate against me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I didn’t worry that much, and I slid the package into the corner mailbox the next morning. An existing law known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/gina.cfm\">Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act\u003c/a> (GINA), signed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/05/the-genetic-inf/\">George W. Bush in 2008\u003c/a> protects Americans against discrimination based on genetic information. The law is far from iron-clad; it doesn’t cover long-term health, life or disability insurance. But there’s also \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/health/obamacare/obamacare-guide.jsp\">Obama’s health care law\u003c/a>, coming into effect in 2014, which should moot the point, because even if loopholes currently exist in the GINA law, the president’s healthcare act aims to further limit discrimination based on preexisting conditions. We’ll have to wait to see how well it works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my willingness to outsource my data goes beyond feeling secure about privacy protections; it’s also about a new way of moving in the world. I’ve never been as protective of my identity as some people, but I now care even less. I sometimes make long personal phone calls on busy city streets, an activity I once found tacky and embarrassing. I’ve gone on internet dates. I post updates and pictures of myself on Facebook, to be perused by friends and “friends” alike. Curating my public persona seems like a lot of trouble, and ultimately pointless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, I’m of the world. And the world is not in a very private mood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone shares (or can afford to share) this devil-may-care attitude when it comes to his or her genetic information. Some people have good reason to believe that they might be prone to certain illnesses, including incapacitating, contagious and/or fatal ones. Or they may carry mutations that might affect potential offspring. Or maybe they merely chafe at the image of their precious DNA shelved in a vault somewhere, as in the final sequence of \u003cem>Raiders of the Lost Ark.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8172\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 288px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/raiders_of_the_lost_ark2-e1378511556309-288x162.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8172 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/raiders_of_the_lost_ark2-e1378511556309-288x162.jpg\" alt=\"Genetic samples sent by 23andMe customers can be stored indefinitely to be studied by scientists.\" width=\"288\" height=\"162\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ca href=\"http://second-reel.blogspot.com/2010/07/homage-reference-and-free-association.html\">Genetic samples sent by 23andMe customers can be stored indefinitely to be studied by scientists. \u003c/a>\u003cbr>(Image: Lucasfilm)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To assuage these fears, 23andMe offers a menu of fates for both your physical sample and your data.

For example, with a feature called “Quick Questions,” you can deliver substantial amounts of self-reported data on the web site before your saliva sample has even arrived at the lab.

(Image: Activision)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Remember the Activision game \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhXMYw1lXY0\">Pitfall!\u003c/a>, back in the ‘80s? Your guy ran through a blocky two-dimensional jungle, swinging on a vine of pixels over alligator-infested bogs. Was he running toward or away from something? You didn’t care. Sometimes the chasms disappeared and reappeared beneath your feet. If you fell into quicksand or landed on a rattlesnake, you died. No big deal. It was just a game, lived in the moment. You were evading or finding peril as it scrolled across the screen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fast forward 20 years, to when we first heard it was possible for people to sequence their genomes. I was intrigued. This was around the time that the \u003ca href=\"http://www.genome.gov/10001772\">Human Genome Project\u003c/a> was nearing completion. Soon, I imagined, we all might be offered a chance to run through life with a new ability to sense what dangers lay ahead, lurking in our genes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with its six-digit price point, genetic testing was a high-end game out of reach for most of us. In some ways, this is still the case. \u003cem>Whole genome\u003c/em> sequencing, which spells out all six billion letters of a person’s DNA, is still prohibitively expensive and has to be ordered by a doctor. But now it is possible to order a genetic scan of nearly a million key spots on one’s DNA for only $99 from \u003ca href=\"http://www.23andme.com/\">23andMe\u003c/a>, a Mountain View company co-founded by Anne Wojcicki, a biotech investor on the Google family tree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, personalized genomics was a game I could afford. The $99 is one tenth of what the test originally cost when the company began offering it in 2007. Curiosity lured me in: I wanted to learn more about my heredity and my health. But I didn’t expect to find a whole new breed of social network, an online community structured not around shared interests, physical proximity, or social relationships, but around bits of shared DNA.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">I wanted to learn more about my heredity and my health. But I didn’t expect to find a whole new breed of social network.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Grabbing the rope was simple. I visited the company’s website, clicked on the huge green invitation to “Get to Know You,” paid up and became a member. A few days later, the smartly-packaged kit was waiting when I returned home from work. Inside were a tiny plastic vial and a smaller box to return the sealed saliva sample.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spat. As I held the sample, I felt oddly protective. Then I felt a flutter of anxiety. Should I be sending these defenseless drops of myself into the clutches of faceless white coats? I have often worked as a freelancer or in other nontraditional modes, and, like so many of my fellow Americans, am used to taking a DIY approach to health care to the degree that I can. But still I worried, could my results be used to deny me health coverage, or otherwise discriminate against me?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I didn’t worry that much, and I slid the package into the corner mailbox the next morning. An existing law known as the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/statutes/gina.cfm\">Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act\u003c/a> (GINA), signed by \u003ca href=\"http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/05/the-genetic-inf/\">George W. Bush in 2008\u003c/a> protects Americans against discrimination based on genetic information. The law is far from iron-clad; it doesn’t cover long-term health, life or disability insurance. But there’s also \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/health/obamacare/obamacare-guide.jsp\">Obama’s health care law\u003c/a>, coming into effect in 2014, which should moot the point, because even if loopholes currently exist in the GINA law, the president’s healthcare act aims to further limit discrimination based on preexisting conditions. We’ll have to wait to see how well it works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But my willingness to outsource my data goes beyond feeling secure about privacy protections; it’s also about a new way of moving in the world. I’ve never been as protective of my identity as some people, but I now care even less. I sometimes make long personal phone calls on busy city streets, an activity I once found tacky and embarrassing. I’ve gone on internet dates. I post updates and pictures of myself on Facebook, to be perused by friends and “friends” alike. Curating my public persona seems like a lot of trouble, and ultimately pointless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In short, I’m of the world. And the world is not in a very private mood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone shares (or can afford to share) this devil-may-care attitude when it comes to his or her genetic information. Some people have good reason to believe that they might be prone to certain illnesses, including incapacitating, contagious and/or fatal ones. Or they may carry mutations that might affect potential offspring. Or maybe they merely chafe at the image of their precious DNA shelved in a vault somewhere, as in the final sequence of \u003cem>Raiders of the Lost Ark.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_8172\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 288px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/raiders_of_the_lost_ark2-e1378511556309-288x162.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8172 \" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/science/wp-content/uploads/sites/35/2013/09/raiders_of_the_lost_ark2-e1378511556309-288x162.jpg\" alt=\"Genetic samples sent by 23andMe customers can be stored indefinitely to be studied by scientists.\" width=\"288\" height=\"162\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003ca href=\"http://second-reel.blogspot.com/2010/07/homage-reference-and-free-association.html\">Genetic samples sent by 23andMe customers can be stored indefinitely to be studied by scientists. \u003c/a>\u003cbr>(Image: Lucasfilm)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To assuage these fears, 23andMe offers a menu of fates for both your physical sample and your data.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
