[b]This forum pumps these drugs like you should pop them like candy.  [/b]Has anyone on these drugs noticed any disturbed thoughts you didn't have before you were on them? [/quote]

No, they don’t. There are reasoned discussions of trade offs. You just say this because you’re one of the posters who is furious that it turns out that obesity isn’t a moral failing (since it can be remediated with a weekly shot now), and you are lashing out angrily as a result and searching desperately for any reason to lash out at the drugs further. You should seek help for your own glaring emotional struggles rather than this sad hobby.

The article you linked said that three people had reported thoughts of self-harm. Three. [/quote]

3 out of how many that got the drug?  You fail to realize risks can balloon when you give something to a lot more people. Sure, if something causes harm to 0.1% of people it is a low incidence rate, but if you give it to 10 million people, is it acceptable to affect 10000 people if it causes something death?   Low incidence alone isn't the whole story. It's also the potential for the amount of people who can be exposed to a risk.[/quote]

I work with stats for a living. I’d never cite a shady Yahoo article to begin with, but since you did, no, your low incidence absent any other information remains a ridiculous overreach.

I think you’re just furious these drugs exist now. [/quote]

Who knew Reuters is now a 'shady' source.

You can hoot and holler all you want, it doesn't change the fact that the EMA is now reviewing the drugs over this issue, which is the topic of this discussion. [/quote]

You don’t even understand what they are actually doing. Goodness.

Stop stamping your foot and having a tantrum about issues that are clearly outside your comprehension. [/quote]

NP. I know these drugs are LUCRATIVE, seems there is some PR push back by Big Pharma. It will be interesting to see the results of the review. These silly tactics just seem astroturfy.[/quote]
