A head-to-head study between two popular weight loss drugs, Eli Lilly’s Zepbound and Novo Nordisk’s Wegovy, showed that users lost more weight using Zepbound. According to the study, which was sponsored by Lilly, people using Zepbound lost 20.2% of their body weight over 72 weeks, while Wegovy users lost 13.7%. In pounds, that means Zepbound users lost an average of 50 lbs, while Wegovy users lost 33. This is the first time two of the drugs had a direct comparison. Previous studies explored the effectiveness of the drugs, which have been marketed to help obese users lose weight, but this blind trial specifically evaluated the two brands as both compete for market share in the lucrative weight loss drug market. Dr. Susan Spratt, an endocrinologist and senior medical director for the Population Health Management Office at Duke Health in North Carolina, told NBC News that both drugs are effective. “The amount of weight loss with both is astounding,” she told the outlet. The main difference between the two is that Zepbound contains the active ingredient tirzepatide, which is the same ingredient used in Lilly’s diabetes drug Mounjaro. Wegovy, meanwhile, uses semaglutide, the ingredient used in Novo Nordisk’s Ozempic, which is also prescribed to diabetes patients.  CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The GLP-1 drugs mimic a hormone that helps reduce food intake and appetite, causing users to eat less than they did before. Tirzepatide also imitates a second hormone, GIP, which is believed to help the body break down sugar and fat, NBC noted. A spokesperson for Novo Nordisk said its drug Wegovy, in combination with diet and exercise, “is the only obesity medicine proven to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events such as death, heart attack, or stroke.” The drugs have become a hot topic of conversation as the supply outpaces demand and a growing number of people seek their weight loss benefits. However, some unpleasant side effects of taking these types of drugs include gastrointestinal problems, including abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. There is also a potential risk of thyroid tumors and cancer associated with Ozempic, another popular option, according to studies done with rodents, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

The New York Police Department shared new images on Thursday showing the face of the suspect in the execution-style shooting of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. In the new images, the suspect is seen wearing what appears to be a green jacket with a hood pulled over his head. The photos are the first posted by authorities that show the suspect’s face. The surveillance photos were taken at a youth hostel in Manhattan where police believe the suspect was staying before the killing, according to the New York Post. Police still don’t know the name of the suspect as they continue to pursue leads, The New York Times reported. ?UPDATE: Below are photos of a person of interest wanted for questioning regarding the Midtown Manhattan homicide on Dec. 4. This does not appear to be a random act of violence; all indications are that it was a premediated, targeted attack. The full investigative efforts of… pic.twitter.com/K3kzC4IbtS — NYPD NEWS (@NYPDnews) December 5, 2024 The hostel where the suspect was staying, along with a home in Manhattan, was raided in connection to the fatal shooting, according to West Side Rag reporter Gus Saltonstall. The NYPD is asking anyone with information about the case or the suspect to come forward, offering a $10,000 reward “for information leading to an arrest and conviction.” The suspect fled the scene of the shooting on foot before getting on a bike and riding into Central Park. Detectives investigating the scene where Thompson was gunned down found shell casings with the words “deny,” “defend,” and “depose” written on them, according to ABC News. Authorities said the shooting appears to be a “brazen targeted attack.” Authorities are also looking into multiple death threats Thompson received before he was killed. Thompson’s company UnitedHealthcare — a subsidiary of UnitedHealth Group, one of the largest companies in the world — has been criticized for denying patients’ claims. The CEO was on his way to the Hilton hotel in Midtown Manhattan to take part in his company’s annual Investor’s Conference. CHECK OUT THE DAILY WIRE HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE The shooter fired at Thompson from behind as the health insurance CEO was approaching the Hilton early Wednesday morning. Video footage shows that after Thompson fell to the ground, the shooter fired at him multiple times. Thompson was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead soon after the shooting.

When Allie Gates saw an ad for a local estate sale, she knew she had to visit. There were tons of gorgeous picture frames for sale, and that was exactly what she needed. But when she arrived at the home, she ended up finding so much more than frames. Once she started chatting with the folks running the estate sale, it didn’t take long for them to realize Allie had something in common with the woman who used to live there. Sadly, this woman had passed away, which is why they were having the estate sale. But while the woman was alive, she managed to create a stunning collection of fairy-related figures and mini houses. She had so many, in fact, that she transformed her backyard shed into a fairy wonderland. While this area wasn’t necessarily apart of the estate, they were happy to share it with Allie.

Spotting wildlife in your own backyard can be a rare treat, but some encounters are more wholesome than others. One woman in Alaska was not amused when a pair of moose picked a fight on her property! These massive creatures ended up doing a lot of damage to her fence, her yard, and even her car. She captured some pretty intense footage of the squabble from inside the house, and it’s an excellent reminder to give wild animals their space! In this woman’s harrowing clip, two moose began to fight one another in her yard by locking antlers. Within seconds, one of these creatures shoved the other into the fence, knocking a huge piece of the structure to the ground. This violent display continued for several more minutes. Please be aware that there is some NSFW language and disturbing content in the video below. @lazyramp Welcome to Alaska where moose fight in your backyard #fyp #viraltiktok #nature #alaska #alaskalife #viral ♬ original sound – LazyRamp As this woman reacted to the moose fight in her yard, you could hear the fear and frustration in her voice. She was really concerned about the amount of havoc that these creatures were going to wreak around her home! Although she tried to scare the moose away by shouting at them, she didn’t go outside. This was a smart choice because these two animals were very unpredictable in their movements. Eventually, the moose fight came to an end. When the woman finally felt safe enough to survey the damage, she found her car dented, her windshield cracked, and her yard a complete mess. “Welcome to Alaska where moose fight in your backyard,” read the caption underneath the footage. Screengrab from TikTok This clip has received over two million views. While it’s not a particularly heartwarming video, it serves as an important reminder. With so many adorable animals on the internet, it’s easy to forget that some creatures can be dangerous as well as cute. As humans, we always need to exercise caution around wildlife, even when it wanders into our own backyard. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

On March 22, 2022, a silent basketball crowd watched as blind hooper Julie Hoogland sank a free throw. Video of the shot has gone viral on many news and social media outlets. Julie was a Zeeland East High School Unified Sports basketball team member. @espn What a moment (via zeelandschools/X) #wholesome #basketball ♬ original sound – ESPN The shot was possible only because the crowd of 2500 people remained quiet. Using a wooden broom handle, a person tapped on the back support of the basketball hoop. The metronomic tapping allowed Julie to “hear” where the basket was. She aimed and made a perfect shot. The silent basketball crowd erupted with cheers as the ball sailed through the net. Fans from both teams cheered for Julie, who blushed a bit from the attention. The shy 17-year-old admitted to Fox News, “I didn’t think I would make it. My hope is I can educate people that blind people are more than just blind.” Image from Instagram. Julie was born with sight but slowly lost it until she was wholly blind at age 3. The determined youngster began hooping in middle school. Practice and determination led her to the moment she sank that free throw. The Zeeland team includes disabled and able-bodied students to unify students through sports. The assembly was the team’s final appearance for that school year. Julie’s free throw made history and demonstrated that all things are possible with determination and dedication. Julie has a long history of working to educate people about the capabilities of disabled persons. In 2010, at just 6, she was recognized for teaching other students how a blind person uses a cane to navigate the halls at school. We don’t think this is the last we’ll hear about this young lady. Please share Julie’s incredible story. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
