Threads like this get a bit shouty because users of WLIs are so invested in them. We've had years of obesity, poor health, bullying and discrimination. Before WLIs, we faced more of the same and worse, including significantly reduced life expectancy. We're now, mostly, spending a lot of our own money to access a drug we know is the best opportunity we've ever had to change our futures. You don't get us wingeing on endlessly about the refusal of the NHS to prescribe to us, or the huge cost and hoops we have to jump through, or the lack of useful support, and sometimes outright hostility from our own GPs once we're on them, or about the side effects some of us experience, or theoretical future risks. We know all this and more, you're not telling us anything we haven't heard before, repeatedly. But, believe me, we're so tired and scared of being obese we just power on because, basically, it's our only option.
Misinformation, false scare stories, and goady posts boil our piss because of the above.
Everytime a new inaccurate, misinformed anti-WLI hits the MSM, we flinch. Because we know that it's very possible that, enough of this, and we might lose access to WLIs. Trump and Kennedy are already making ominous comments in the US.
The so-called 'pharmacist' who appeared on this thread (there's always one) is, if genuine, a scary concept - a medical professional who has no personal faith in medical advances until they've been trialled on the general population for more than 20 years (wonder how she got through the COVID vaccine programme?). Even non-users of WLIs should be alarmed by that but, no, not on this thread.
