I’d like to make a couple of things clear here:

1) “obesity” has no clear clinical definition, nor is it really a disease. [1] 2) there has been no evidence yet that weight is at all a primary determinant of health [2] 3) Weight loss drugs must be taken forever or it’s nearly certain you will gain the weight back [3]

There’s a lot of great research these days that shows fatness is not what people think it is, and weight stigma is far more harmful than being fat itself [4].

Also, nobody knows what happens yet if you take these drugs for 30 years, and what we do know is that being fat hasn’t been proven to kill anyone.

I'd just say follow the money.
