That tangent about GLP-1 users was wierd and unnecessary.
I don’t know of any other pharmaceutical class that has become so rapidly and widely stigmatized because of one of the conditions it treats.
Maybe typical (first gen) antipsychotics? Stimulants?
Setting aside the fact that GLP-1 drugs treat a ton of things other than obesity, what do the critics even want? Do they want people to lose weight or not? “Stop being fat. No! Not like that! Do something that doesn’t work!”
if fat people can look not fat by taking some medicine, then how will the virtuous (thin) people be able to tell who the sinners are?
bold to assume the hate is coming from the underweight mafia and not a representative sample of everyone with the protestant work ethic brainworms
some are temporarily embarrassed thin people, but that’s not the same as being like them
Gotta deflect somehow
