You can read the original FDA approval for the data highlights:

“The largest placebo-controlled trial enrolled adults without diabetes. The average age at the start of the trial was 46 years and 74% of patients were female. The average body weight was 231 pounds (105 kg) and average BMI was 38 kg/m2. Individuals who received Wegovy lost an average of 12.4% of their initial body weight compared to individuals who received placebo.”
These were multi-year trials with thousands of patients.
So we’re paying $1,000 a month for most of the people that take it to stay fat, just less so.
Exactly my point. Everyone will be getting increased insurance premiums so that we can have a 5%-%10 reduction in heart/diabetes risk for people that will continue to ignore their health. The only cure for that is to stop ignoring your own health.
I'd love if it were possible to walk into a store dial in a set of pill that maintains whatever health level you want with your lifestyle. Hopefully this is a step in that direction is the only good thing about this drug.
