Something that has stuck in my brain all day from this article is this fact: it's taken about 20 years from the initial GLP-1 approval in 2005 to get to where we are today with all its expanding indications. This is such a huge understatement in these times! erictopol.substack.com/p/the-peptid...
We're hurtling through unprecedentedly stupid times, with loser podcasters in charge of the nation's health trying to "one neat trick" their way through the most complex societal health challenges. They are lazy and do not want to do The Hard Work.
On top of that, the loser podcasters in charge are obliterating the funding and capacity of researchers and others willing to do The Hard Work. The destruction to the research enterprise now has ramifications *decades* away from now, as we see in the antithetical case with the success of GLP-1.
