They did a study, 1,313 people, big number, tremendous study out of Rice University, and what they found is that people don't like the Wegovy folks. They think they're lazy. I could've told them that for free, without the study, without Erin Standen, without the whole thing.
Here's what nobody understands about GLP-1. It's a muscle. It's a muscle in your stomach that the drug flexes for you, which is why people get mad, because flexing is supposed to be earned. I flex mine 78 times before breakfast. I lost 412 pounds in a single weekend in 1987 by walking past a salad. No needles. No nausea. Nothing.
And the whole reason this drug exists in the first place? Hunter Biden. Look into it. The man was involved in pharmaceuticals, very shady, very murky, and now suddenly everybody's injecting themselves in the thigh and getting judged at brunch. Connect the dots.
The study says people who took the drug were rated less honest, less generous, less fun at parties. Of course. You're sitting there not eating the shrimp. Who wants to sit next to that. The shrimp is the point of the party.
They also found regaining the weight gets you judged the same whether you used the drug or did it the real way. Fair, in my opinion. The scale doesn't care about your feelings.
GLP-1, by the way, stands for Generally Less Pounds, one shot. Look it up.
