So you can buy it, and it's cheaper.

Now, that is the daily injection, so that's not the most super popular.

But it still works, and there's no doubt that the competition, because there are many, many, many pharmaceutical companies now producing GLP-1-redated agents, and some of them will be good and approved and all that.

So there will be competition, and the prices will come down.

There's no doubt about that.

Mm-hmm.

There's another development that is really interesting, and that is that it's also possible to make GLP-1 agonists that are small molecules, as we call them, small chemical entities.

And they're much easier to produce and much cheaper to produce.

They haven't really been approved yet, but we will have these.

I don't doubt that we will have these small molecules now coming up, and they will be cheaper, and they will put the prices further down.

But I must say, in the meantime...

I think that the societies will need to think about how this should be dealt with.

And some support, some reimbursement for health reasons, I think would be reasonable.

That's what I think.

As a young person, I marched around in the streets of Copenhagen with a sign saying, research for the people, not for the profit, research for the people, not for the profit, that kind of thinking.

So it was much more fun to make something, to make good progress, to get some development going than to…

Just, you know, lock yourself up and try to collect money.

And I still feel that way, I must say.

But I mean, it is one quarter of the adult population in our societies that will benefit from these therapies and at least one quarter.

And we have to find out how to do this.
