[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After (really) old people, Covid was most dangerous for fat and metabolically unhealthy people. I never understood why we didn’t do a full-court press on exercise and healthy eating - heck, maybe free Mounjaro for anyone with a bmi over 27!

Being fat and metabolically unhealthy are still the most preventable conditions Americans die from - hundreds of thousands a year. Why not more attention on that?[/quote]

I’m fat and metabolically unhealthy, but down 60 pounds in 7 months on Wegovy. My A1c is now 5.1. So, I get that. Practically speaking, the  reason is the drugs were several years away from being clinically tested for obesity. And even now, we don’t have the capacity to even begin to meet demand. And, the drugs don’t work well without a nutritious, high protein diet, which many Americans cannot afford.

Plus, do you ever read a newspaper?  In 2022-2023, there is an article on some aspect of the the GLP-1/GIP drugs on the main page of the WaPo and or NYT almost every day. [/quote]
