We did create transmission of diseases across the planet by sending explorers between continents. The same way we enabled COVID spread through international travel. These are not bad things in and of themselves, but yes as humans advance we both improve and worsen things. The hope is for a net positive for the human race, but I'll leave that topic alone as it is its own can of worms. As far as taking them continuously, there are many chronic conditions that people take medication for life to resolve. For example high blood pressure, they put you on medication and its expected you will be on it for life, it isn't always solvable by any other means. Many other examples of chronic conditions which means ongoing medication must be taken. What I think will be interesting is the higher order impacts to the major food companies. If enough people are on medication to disrupt the desire to eat sweets and highly processed foods, the incentive for the food companies is to try to find a way to bypass the effects of the medication.
