In a brief conversational exchange, Speaker A claims that peptides are being federally banned, attributing the ban to difficulties in patenting them. Speaker A suggests that this situation fuels conspiracy theories, implying that large pharmaceutical companies (Big Pharma) oppose peptides because they cannot be easily patented. Speaker B simply repeats the claim as a question, without adding further information.
Peptides. Those are getting federally banned.
Peptides are getting federally banned?
Yeah. Most of the reason why peptides are getting banned is because they are hard to patent. And so because of that, there's conspiracy theorists like Big Pharma doesn't like that.
So semaglutide, which is Ozempic, is a peptide. But yeah, I don't think that can get banned. I think people will riot in the streets right now if Ozempic got banned.
