my thoughts on the AstraZeneca deal. It seems to me that AZ is already really invested in Chinese biotech sector. This will simply allow them to further use the Chinese drug development pipeline to get ahead.

I think long term, the American biotech scene will get wiped out.
Investing so late in the weight loss rush. Three to four drugs are on the market and semaglutide patents will expire soon.

There's a rush precisely because the patents are expiring.

And I suspect the overall amounts will largely be royalties dependent on actual sales.

Parents expiring should lead to push towards generics, I doubt the viability of launching a new molecule which might have marginally better efficacy than ozempic.
