People who think this means actually something are ether too young or dont know much about human behavior. People only care for the outcome, and the outcome is to be slim (without putting in the work). Ozempic could give you cancer and people would NOT care, because they are fucking lazy.
Do you really think people give a fuck about side effects or diseases? Have fun looking up side effects of hairloss medication, yet many men dont give a fuck, you even get banned on reddit subs for mentioning them lol.

Companies really are desperate to keep people fat. These comments as well are hilarious. People are lazy that’s why they take this? Have you guys seen the side effects of being super fat?! It can and does literally kill you lmao. Heck of a side effect that semiglutide helps curb with a lifestyle change. You can’t only get the shot and lose weight if you’re still pigging out.

Not controlled for BMI and diabetes? What kind of study is this

I love how this post is getting heavily downvoted. There’s nothing more degenerate than BigPharma investors who will do anything to pimp their investment even if the manufacture is maiming its clientele.

I got banned from a sub for saying that this drug is going to cause side effects that won’t be fully known for years. I was called fat phobic

From the article:
“the small number of patients — an average of about 100 cases were identified each year — ***from one specialized medical center may not apply to a broader population.***”
“But even with an increased risk, the condition remains relatively uncommon.”
“Experts agree that the potential risk of NAION should not deter the use of semaglutide medications to treat diabetes or obesity.”
Emphasis is my own. Don’t load up on puts just yet

I like Taleb’s view on pharmaceuticals, which is an application of his so called Anti-fragile investment model.
In short, if I’m healthy, it’s very likely that repeated doses, even if small, will end up doing little for my health and poses downside risks over time. So, I shouldn’t take them.
However if I have serious, life threatening health conditions at baseline, I should be open to taking gobs of pharmaceuticals for the small chance that one or more solve my serious health conditions, and I shouldn’t really worry about accumulating new risks from the medicine, since I’m already fucked.

“The condition is relatively rare — up to 10 out of 100,000 people in the general population may experience it”
So 0.01% of patients.
About 1 in every 5 deaths each year is due to heart disease. Obesity and diabetes is a major contributor to heart disease.
I think people will take their chances here.

I got bad news for you OP, every single person who confuses correlation with causation ends up dead.

From another article:
“People with Type 2 diabetes are already at increased risk for vision problems, including NAION and diabetic retinopathy, which is the leading cause of blindness in adults. Additionally, conditions such as sleep apnea and hypertension, more common in individuals with obesity, are known risk factors for NAION. This complicates the ability to definitively link semaglutide to the condition without further studies.”
I would calm the fuck down. Obese people already had a higher risk and diabeetus, just increase it.
This could be an incredibly minor issue compared to the relative increase in life expectancy that the drugs bring.
