What is the primary mechanism of the new obesity vaccine, and how does it differ from existing treatments like Ozempic?

A new vaccine using Mycobacterium vaccae, a bacteria found in cow's milk and soil, prevents weight gain in mice fed a high-fat, high-sugar diet. Weekly injections completely prevented excessive weight gain, showing no difference in weight between vaccinated mice on unhealthy diets and unvaccinated mice on healthy diets. This differs from Ozempic, which works by reducing appetite.
