Dear god, this is the best response I have ever heard and it has made my day. First the mysterious song gets found, and now this. What a month!
Aw, shucks. 
Kind of you to say.
This made me laugh so hard dude. Very rare that a post can do that. I’ve been having a kinda shit time too, thanks for the mirth.

It's a honest distrust. I'm no medic obviously.
Yeah but "type 4 diabetes" is funny.
If you want the actual 10 year medical disaster from Ozempic my bet's on an exciting new kind of liver or pancreas failure.
Nah I wasn’t tryna be a dick, I just genuinely found the idea of type 4 diabetes really funny, and the gallows of humour of how bad ozempik is gonna fuck up an entire generation… it was just a chefs kiss combo for me
There's other types lol, there's even a 1.5!
Gestational?
I’m imagining 5 dimensional diabetes where Wilford Brimley is talking backwards and phasing in and out of existence
im waiting for phen/fen part deux.
I've actually been traveling the world collecting all of the Diabetes. There's 7 of them and when you get them Ronald McDonald shows up and grants you a wish.
What does Ozempic do? Does it just make you less hungry?
Houngry*

Is there any evidence it's bad though? There's so much incredible modern medicine that has absolutely no downsides or side effects for 99.99% of the population, like vaccines

This is just wrong to the point of being harmful misinformation.
Vaccines are probably the most amazing medicine, but they have (usually minor) side effects for basically everyone. I'm not aware of any medicine that doesn't.

I meant side effects near the magnitude of "type 4 diabetes" haha

There's also the precautionary principle, which I think is the best way to approach food and drug safety: the thing in question has to be proven to be safe and contingencies have to be in place in case of harm before being released. This is opposed to the more US approach to food and drug safety, which requires proof that the thing is unsafe to proceed with regulation.
Yeah I know, it's just distrust
Real, I feel the same about every new COVID booster
