“These drugs” referred to the class of drugs, GLP1s, which have been around for much longer. Victoza was approved in 2010 (liraglutide) and Byetta in 2005. It’s clickbait because it’s trying desperately to paint a narrative that these drugs were rushed to market and that they’re unsafe.

The narrative plays well to the general public because it’s a weight loss drug, which is seen as vain/ non-virtuous (even though it is, indeed, healthier to live life at a more modest BMI than most the population currently has).

If this were not clickbait they would be focused on breaking a new story, but there’s no story to be had, just “out of the millions of people who have taken this drug, we were able to find 2 that are less than shining examples of wellness”.
