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.
- PeterHolzwarth 4mo agoThat's quite admirable to correct yourself in public. Good on ya.
- nubg 4mo agoYes. I wonder if taking GLP-1 made him have higher morals as well!
- SubiculumCode 4mo agoits possible.
- sph 4mo agoVery weird (or funny?) to use statins as an example of a ‘good and effective’ drug.
- incognito124 4mo agoWhy do you say that? My first exposure to statins was in https://myticker.com https://myticker.com and they seem somewhat important
- shlant 4mo agothe vast majority of the anti-statin crowd are just regurgitating talking points they heard from people in their diet tribe - usually keto/carnivore
- 9x39 4mo agoThat says more about the harmful effects of obesity than anything.
- PeterHolzwarth 4mo agoThat's kind of the point.
- HedonicEscal8r 4mo agoGLP-1s are far more effective than statins.
- SubiculumCode 4mo agoGLP1s 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.
- api 4mo agoA central flaw in the Nobel is that it rewards one or two people for what is often the work of teams.
- taurath 4mo agoIt’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.
