Hyped weight loss drugs raise equity concerns

In 2022, more than 5 million prescriptions were written for diabetes drugs to be used for weight loss. The demand spiked because of social media influencers and celebrities touting the benefits.

And, human intervention is keeping manatees alive in Florida – but for how long? Guests: Axios' Tina Reed and University of Miami's Dr. Jill Richardson.
