It's more along the lines of: Could you benefit from it because of some legit medical issues. Then go ahead.
Do you want to take it recreationally to fit in your new dress for the wedding 3 weeks from now without any lifestyle changes? Don't take it.
Ozempic is not some fun new "weight loss shot", it's a fucking necessity for people with diabetes. That includes Type I diabetes, which is due to genetics and not lifestyle choices.

You're right except the last point - all drug shortages and issues are the result of doctors/public health and drug manufacturers. Never patients. It is a lie they tell us so we blame ourselves and each other.
Patients can't write their own prescriptions. Patients can't magically procure a drug in their hands. They aren't stealing them from diabetics, they are being advertised to and buying the product.
