- newaccount2021 4y agoWegovy is being sold as a wonder drug. A family member took it and was subjected to worst-hangover-ever non-stop gut-wrench puking for a week. "Nausea" is listed as a side-effect...I think they are understating this.
- CrypticShift 4y agoThis how you grow GDP: - They sell you junk food for billions. - If you get chronic disease -> they will forever sell you drugs for billions more. - If you stop eating that junk, they will still sell you overpriced pseudo-healthy food (all the billion dollar fads) - And now, even if you just get (a little) obese from all that food -> they got the magic pill ! they will sell you more drugs for $50bn. Yay GDP is growing! and we should thank them for solving our health problems too!
