I got severely downvoted in the past for badmouthing GLP1s here. Then I did my research, got on them and I take it all back. These things are on par with statins in terms of potential societal impacts.

I put them just under antibiotics. In terms of quality of life years given back at a population scale.

GLP1s are one of today's real, true, modern miracles. It deserves a Nobel, but not to one person, but the teams upon teams upon teams that made it possible to get here.

A central flaw in the Nobel is that it rewards one or two people for what is often the work of teams.

That's quite admirable to correct yourself in public. Good on ya.

[nubg]

Yes. I wonder if taking GLP-1 made him have higher morals as well!

[SubiculumCode]

its possible.

It’s so funny, because they did well for you you’re now incredibly on board for all of society.

I tried them and my health got massively worse and I couldn’t eat at all, on a sub minimum dose.

[HedonicEscal8r]

GLP-1s are far more effective than statins.

[sph]

Very weird (or funny?) to use statins as an example of a ‘good and effective’ drug.

[incognito124]

Why do you say that? My first exposure to statins was in https://myticker.com and they seem somewhat important

That says more about the harmful effects of obesity than anything.

[PeterHolzwarth]

That's kind of the point.
