> I find it fascinating how much a pretty large group of people just hate semaglutides and seemingly need to believe that it's some kind of Faustian bargain.
Some of us also remember previous weight loss drugs which had similar levels of hype and later got pulled because of really bad side effects.
If I needed to lose 100+ pounds, I'd be at my doctor tomorrow asking for it. The side effects of 100+ pounds are way worse than anything semaglutide might cause.
For people who are using it to lose 10-20 pounds, the tradeoff isn't as clear.
I am cautiously optimistic and hope that semaglutide lives up to the hype. lots of people will benefit if it does.
